I think you do think so. Describing them as "fashionable" is just endorsing my remark that from an engineering perspective Beats brings nothing of value. I was being very charitable when I said "mediocre headphones", the engineering behind Beats certainly had no value for Apple. And even today the most valuable part of the engineering behind a pair of Beats is Apple's W chip. I know I said engineering quite a few times but I want the focus of my comment to be clear.
