I know a lot of people don't like the quality of Beats but they are great for listening to hip hop and other bass heavy music. Still I am surprised by this Apple purchase. I would assume the tech would power their headphones for now on? Can't imagine it is for the music subscription service
- jreed91 12y agoBut thats exactly what its for. Beats has a unique streaming service thats curated by actual humans and is what apple has been building with iTunes radio. 3.2 Billion for that seems like a lot to me though
- loso 12y agoI would be shocked if its mostly for the streaming service since people outside of audiophiles love Beats headphones. I won't deny that it might be a bigger part of the sale than I initially gave it credit for but mostly? I don't know.

Edit* Never mind its being reported that this was an April fools article that just so happen to come true.
