I wonder how much of that "premium" segment is owned by Beats? Regardless of their quality, this CNN article[0] claims that beats owns a quarter of the total headphones market and over half of the "premium headphones" segment. These other stats claim that Apple & Beats, combined, account for 70% of future purchase plans for teens.[1] Th definitely have the edge with regards to marketing. And also, looks like just recently Bluetooth headphones are outselling wired headphones.[2] With Apple controlling Beats, and Beats nearly controlling the headphones market, I still think this problem will end up affecting a mere niche demographic one year from today. -- 0. http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/13/tech/beats-headphones-audio-market/ http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/13/tech/beats-headphones-audio-ma...
