Whenever I see an individual with Beats headphones I subconciously classify them as ignorant

[The Gemini Method]

Shitty product for the shitty masses. Dre got 1/2 a billion by peddling a crappy product. Shows how zombie consumerism is heightened in the drive to get everyone to spend--even the kids in the hood.

they own 64% of the high end headphone market, and Apple will make a killing putting them front and center in their stores.

Even shittier made product that induces sheep consumerism bought up sheep earphones. Who gives a fuck if they have 64% of the market of high-end earphones. It doesn't take away from it being an inferior product in terms of quality, bass isolation, and acoustics. Don't tell me--are you one of those iPhone sheep? Shure makes a better earphone. Sennheiser, too.

[Oh, Gee!!]

It should bring the price down

[ChumpDumper]

Headphone hipsters.

I was saying it makes a lot of sense for Apple to buy them for those reasons, and I believe they do their own manufacturing and can save Apple some money there too.

:cry Beats Audio
:cry my 1st Android phone was the HTC One S
:cry had Beats Audio



Which wasn't anything really special TBH

[The Gemini Method]

The Beats audio on my HTC One X was pretty good when put in contact with my car's system. Other than that it was pointless. Really was my Shure earphones that brought the ruckus with my musics.

[leemajors]

I think the Beats audio was just a software layer.

[ChumpDumper]

Really impressive marketing overall though. I found the campaign around the bluetooth speaker/sex suppository fascinating.

[Medvedenko]

I have both a high end SHURE pair and a Beats Solo set. I enjoy the Beats, however; you can go get a more audiophile version with other brands, but you're paying a lot. What apple should do is offer lossless files as a norm and figure out the compression process rather than shitty mp3's they've been peddling and that they've ruined high end audio for years now. The fact that the majority of music people listen to is less quality than 90's era CD's is troubling. However, the kids don't know any better.

You just like 'em 'cause they actually manage to make your fat face look smaller. [/5+ year-late quip]

[FkLA]

Spending hundreds on headphones is almost as retarded as dishing out $80 for HDMI cables imo. :depressed

Not likely, his stake is just under 30% and if his net worth is around the same as the transaction date, he'll be hovering at 800m. Still, it will make him the richest "artist" in the hip-hop world.

It's a good product if you listen to bass heavy music, it's just fucking way overpriced. Sennheiser all day, FTW.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

I have a pair and like them a lot. They were a gift, though--I'm too cheap to drop that kind of dough on myself, tbh.

^ well there's the other side of the black spectrum, instead of spending a month's rent on beats and jordans

those who have beats headphones

are they any better then say gaming headphones? i know gaming headsets also have surround

whats teh sound quality from both for comparisons?

That's the dumbest analogy I've heard in a while. This has nothing to do with 1's and 0's but rather build quality and accurate sound reproduction. That's like saying my home speakers sound the same as my ipod head phones that came in the box.

Why would individuals listening to Rap need quality sound anyway? It's just a guy boasting and complaining about his life

We haven’t heard anything official about its supposed $3.2 billion purchase of Beats from Apple yet and now Billboard reports there’s a good reason for that. According to Billboard’s sources, Apple was not at all happy about a video posted by actor Tyrese Gibson where a couple of weeks ago in which Beats founder and hip-hop legend Dr. Dre boasts about becoming “the first billionaire in hip-hop.” Apple was also probably not happy to hear that Gibson said that Dre was “drunk off of Heinekens” in the video, which was posted on Gibson’s Facebook page right after news broke that Apple would be buying Beats for $3.2 billion.

While most of us found the Dre video funny, it’s pretty obvious why Apple did not — the company has long thrived with a culture of extreme secrecy and it probably took the video as a sign that the team at Beats might not be a good fit. In addition to this, Billboard says that Apple was not happy that Beats apparently leaked news about the deal well before the company was ready to make it formal.
