Apple and Beats?

Am I way off for not liking Beats headphones? I thought they were ok if they were $30.00 but for $250.00? Another question is this a good fit for Apple? I am not a techno-geek, but does Beats offer anything than the headphones to Apple? Couldn't Apple have outsourced to someone like Harmon Kardon which I believe is a CA company and definitely is a company that knows Audio?? Thanks!

The headphones are a natural upgrade for Apple audio players, but the deal isn't about the headphones. It's about Jimmy Iovine.

There are much better headphones in that price range

I sense a desperate (or tactical is there are some tax wright offs) move on Apples part. That, and an ignorant public who think Bose are great.

Add the fact that $2 Billion is the asking price for the Clippers and Bob's your uncle.

All the best,

Add to that some options on stock and other forms of compensation and you'll see just a continuing trend in sell outs masquerading as far sighted leadership.

I couldn't resist.

All the best,
