FaZe Clan member Kristopher “FaZe Swagg” Lamberson commented on the deal in a release: “FaZe partnering with Beats has been a super meaningful moment for gaming and music culture. We’ve created so much cool content together but now that we’re teaming up on a product release with these Studio 3 wireless headphones in the classic FaZe Red Tiger Camo, our fans are going to go wild. I hope everyone loves them as much as I do.”
FaZe Clan’s relationship with the Apple-owned electronics company spans as far back as April when Beats Electronics co-founder Jimmy Iovine led an investment round for the North American organisation. Shortly after in May, the pair revealed a set of FaZe Clan-branded products to promote Beats Electronics’ Powerbeats Pro line alongside FaZe’s 10-year anniversary.

In October, Beats Electronics sponsored Chinese League of Legends organisation TOP Esports. The deal struck during the League of Legends World Championship, placing the Beats By Dr. Dre logo on the right shoulder of the organisation’s official jersey.
Esports Insider says: FaZe Clan’s 10-year anniversary has been too large to ignore. The North American organisation with deep roots in street culture and fashion has become synonymous with brand collaborations, ushering in unique crossovers such as the latest with Beats By Dr. Dre.
