Me too Dr Dre Beats attempt I guess ....

i never got the H6, it seems a somewhat smallish headphone fore the money, will need to go for a listening I guess

May not matter. May just be an attempt to get into the african american young consumer market, the types who pick up Beats.

might just be a marketing thing to test waters.

i dont think changng colors on these thing is a huge investment neither will they drop a fortune on that guy.

Dj khaled is a famous dj/producer and is well respected, "we the best" is his slogan whenever you hear a track he's involved in that's what he usually says at the start or end of a track. I listen to r'n'b reggae aswell as hip-hop and if that's the direction beoplay are going than why not.

I see it as good competition for beats headphones.

Ugh. My brother told me about this at dinner tonight. 

No thanks.

Definitely a good move for B&O in terms of attracting more people to the brand. It often starts with a pair of headphones! Although for me it was the Beo 7000 remote! I do really like these headphones too, at least the look! Haven't heard them yet but I am quite sure they will not perform under par. The comments are great and cause much controversy around the artist vs brand particularly, but from a marketing perspective, I can see lots all those people commenting and so many more off to the shops to try a pair and see what all the fuss is about! BeoPlay is all about reaching a different audience so this guy seems to fit the bill!

I must admit that I do have to wonder whats going on  - but maybe that is just because I was born into a rather different generation/culture.

After all - why not? If they like them, it's ok. At least then more of these cans are sold.

And some people might get aware that the Dre/Beats headphones aren't the only cool headphones on the market - and of the 'brand B&O'.

A bit blingy, indeed. But I do like the red/black ones....should perhaps have waited - I bought the natural leather ones just a couple of days ago. (Well, maybe they are just more 'me' after all).

like to see B&O play more left field and do a Norman Foster edition.... but if it puts B&O in front of a new listening audience then that is good.

am I the only person who wants to stop a person wearing Dr Beats and ask them "Why?"
