Apple reportedly considering buying Beats for $3.2 billion | *CONFIRMED* well kinda?

[solosdk]

Apple is rubbish......

No they're not. They make good products unlike Beats

[Buckley]

maybe now their headphones will be halfway decent

Good looking rubbish?

[SaulGoode91]

Maybe they can actually make Beats good. Either that or they will jack up the price, slap an apple logo on the side and call them, "better than ever!"

[totjup5]

Why Apple. Why.

[solosdk]

Good looking rubbish?

No.

[nyankat]

I  am assuming that next in line apple products (iPhones, the apple books) will now feature Beats audio. Very nice. Slapping its own butt.

 

Why the hate? Apple chooses to go downhil by its own decision. I don't own any of their products anyways, not to mention the crap beats.

 

 

[LAwLz]

I doubt it. Apple wouldn't put their name on rubbish like beats.

Well Apple is already putting their name on the iPhone, the iPad, the iMac... Kind of disproves your whole argument, does it not?

Before you get mad I should say that I am just pulling your leg. Don't take it too seriously.

 

 

Honestly though, I think Beats would fit very well with Apple. You can draw a lot of parallels between the two.

The amount of anti-Apple circlejerking in this thread is hilarious.

 

I don't own an Apple product and never will, but if you actually work with them and understand technology you will know that they are all very high quality and their software runs with very little bugs or malfunctions. I understand their prices seem high but they don't make low-end products. I won't buy them because their interfaces generally offer less options for customization and support with certain devices due to their proprietary nature.

 

I do think that Beats are generally bad quality products for the price, but people need to understand how Apple works before they blindly hate on them. It simply makes you look ignorant.

[Aphexx]

acquisition kinda makes sense. it was apple that made wearing shitty white earbuds the pinnacle of fashion for a while

 

[dre92]

The only difference between Apple and Beats is that Apple makes overpriced good products, while Beats makes overpriced shitty products, so I don't know where this is going really.

[Dylan522p]

Apple is rubbish......

How. They make amazing products, pricey but really high quality.

[0s4x]

Great, Apple products are set to get even more expensive.

[QcDExtreme]

two companies that have over priced products that aren't good this can only go swimmingly 

[Kamina]

Both are well marketed to the same kind of people, casuals.

[dragosudeki]

Beats is bad, but has beats on it to make it expensive. Add Apple on it, it is now a luxury item. The brand combination to make the most expensive things!!

[SSL]

Makes sense. And will be another reason to avoid Beats like the plague.

[algoat]

There's one winner in this deal...

 

[Fred Castellum]

That's hilarious.... just hilarious... 

[Tech_Dreamer]

wow! double rainbow!!

 

 

 

 

 

ninja loves beats

[nosirrah123]

Teen Apple users often = Beats lovers so integrating would just make sense.

[nosirrah123]

Look, you can like apple, it's fine, but around here that's an unpopular opinion. You can express your opinion all you want, all the people on this forum have effective free speech, but you'll just be starting an argument based on preferences.

[DJHoro]

Although I agree Beats by Dre headphones are overpriced (You pay for brand Swag) their newer stuff isn't that bad. Most people hating on them in this thread probably haven't even heard them before. With that said their headphones are what you would expect. Very "fun" sounding with a V shaped sound sig. This means boomy bass, recessed mids and exaggerated highs. Their 2.0 Tours and New studio are a vast improvement over the old models though. They lowered some of the bass so the mids aren't as over powered. I guess splitting from Monster was the best thing that ever happened to them. Wonder how this will turn out if its true.

[Mooshi]

I'm more surprised they haven't already. Beats or Bose, both seems like something Apple would acquire through a buy out. I guess Skull Candy would also fall in there..and Apple could call their new audio lineup their "iCore"

 

..

 

Apple iCore...

 

Yeah, that's dumb sounding enough to make it past marketing. At least their iPod headphones wouldn't suck anymore. That's a plus, I suppose.

The iBeats by iDre and apple O_o
