HTC + BEATS BY DRE EARPHONES = AUGUST 2011 |
Fast
forward to August 2011 and Dr. Dre decides to sell 51% majority share to Mobile
phone Manufacture HTC for a whopping $ 300 million. This allowed HTC to release
smart phones with a beats audio Equalizer, starting from the release of HTC
Sensation XE, HTC Sensation XL, HTC one and the list is long enough. HTC has
since sold 25% share of its controlling stake due to below par sales.

One
of the major reason why a dancer holds any particular headphone so dear is
because besides it being the tool through which he can access his/her most treasured
resource (music) its durability, Ease to Use and musicality helps him connect
with every fibre of a composition, may it be funk, hip hop or the break in the
music. Its not just enough to have the style or the class, in this case, but how
tangible and accessible is the music via your Headphone.
Beats have made a choreographer smile, a dancer rock, a producer shake and an artist close their eyes. Its undeniable that Beats By Dre have greatly been embarrassed globally maybe because of the marketing strategies, using fellow celebrities and having their own versions of Beats By Dre.
Such stunts as the one Lil wayne pulled early this year at Orlando,Florida where he was spotted wearing a $1 million beats by Dre headphones at the NBA all Star Game.He was heavily criticized for just being extravagant and making no fashion sense…what do we have to say? it’s a #fail but then again it’s Lil Wayne and you can hate as much as you want but you can’t move him, he is not above the law but he is just below it!!!!
No! think about it LMFAO, at the Superbowl on 6th Feb 2012 during their half time performance with Madonna rocked the same headphones with 114 carats of diamond by Graff Diamonds and they have so far not received a single pointed finger….mmmmmhhhh haters!!!!!

Our
very renowned Dj Sadic is always spotted rocking the Beats by Dre headphones on
his deejay sets and though I have not experienced many dancers giving in to
this headphones or Earphones, maybe due to the fact that their price range is
extravagant though most reviews say it’s good value for what is spent, am yet a
full market penetration in Kenya.
