RJBerto Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 My money is on Apple removing the 3.5mm jack on their phones and tablets and using the lightning port instead. They will charge hefty licensing fees to third party mfgs, sell expensive adaptors that are just bulky enough that conumers will trade in their headphones for pairs that incorporate the lightning connector and by offering beats headphones, they'll be in a position to sell headphones with the lightning connector at a much larger profit margin than any of the third party licensees.

Dre Rivera Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 i Would agree that they aren't good headphones but then again we aren't the target audience for them. the people that they target are people who don't know what quality audio should sound like.

If young people are never exposed to good headphones, and they do the majority of music listening on them, then they're never going to experience what good sound is. This is bad for music, bad for TV & film sound, bad for artists, bad for everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studiomprd Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Bose is going after Apple-Beats for patent infringement: "Bose and Beats are two of the most well-known headphone makers in the industry, benefiting from their push into higher-end products." http://www.cnet.com/news/bose-accuses-beats-of-infringing-noise-canceling-headphone-patents/?tag=nl.e496&s_cid=e496&ttag=e496&ftag=CAD1c318f6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Feeley Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 If young people are never exposed to good headphones, and they do the majority of music listening on them, then they're never going to experience what good sound is. This is bad for music, bad for TV & film sound, bad for artists, bad for everybody. Could be. But in what era were young people exposed to good headphones or sound? On the farm with grampa's fiddle, the one the horse stepped on? Victrola era? Transistor radio era? Crappy home hi-fi? Car radio/stereo? Boom box? Walkman? Home computer? MP3/etc-player buds? Seems like crappy sound has long been with us. Most people are OK with that. Musicians might care more (but may not be able to afford accurate sound-consumption equipment), some music fans do... and somehow there's still some decant sound out there. There is no good music these days so I wouldn't worry about that :-P Do you mean, the new music today is different from the new music released when you were a teenager? :-P For the record, I know you're kidding, but there's amazing music coming out these days. My kids clue me into all sorts of great stuff. I stumble on some stuff through the radio (it's like a wireless mic system receiver that picks up music, not dialog), and various internet services. Music is pretty damn healthy these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantin Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 (it's like a wireless mic system receiver that picks up music, not dialog) There's no dialog coming out of your radio? You are a lucky man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Perkins Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Monster v. Beats. Maybe they'll destroy each other and the world will be a better place without either of them? philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpaul215 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Was Monster so busy still counting the money they made selling people HDMI cables for $100 that they just noticed Beats "parted ways" with them years ago? The whole HTC/Beats partnership was pretty well covered news in the tech world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrineX Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 is this even serious ? beats...... the ones that are weighted down to feel like it has something of quality apple is on a get money quick rampage. only now matters. its a bit philips after the 80's just keep the investors happy , dont mind making good products just cash in. until it gets pissed on by the consumers. although there are always people around to keep the company a float so it seems, some certain people.
