If B&O is stupid because of this advert, Mercedes, BMW, Subaru, Fedex, Pepsi, Audi are all stupid. All these brands used to name competitor in their adverts.
But it is really good to know that there is somebody in this forum knows better than all these giants and their marketing departments. Respect.
B&O are RELIANT on the Apple store for a HUGE HUGE HUGE percentage of their sales...
Are they? 😮
Do we have figures to back this up? Whenever I've been in an Apple Store, both in the UK and the US, nobody on their staff has given a damn about B&O.

Indeed I heard Apple threw out most of the BeoPlay products.Are they? Do we have figures to back this up? Whenever I've been in an Apple Store, both in the UK and the US, nobody on their staff has given a damn about B&O. Lee
Firstly, NEVER put down a competitor in business, it shows that you are weak.
Watch Apple show how weak they are (were):

beats is only one thing: Good marketing.
Beats headphones have anything but absolutely nothing that you could describe as "good sound". They even don't seem to know what "Hifi" is. Using a beats headphone is like putting your head into a subwoofer to listen to classical music. But I have to admit that their marketing works great and people buy that stuff.
For big headphones I'm using Sennheiser, AKG and Beyerdynamics during all the years of music love.
I want to have a realistic and natural sound reproduction and not a head massage.
As I'm not using Facebook: Could somebody post the link to the ad B&O play is referring to?
This is the Beats link. I just copied what was shown above!:
Doesn't surprise me a bit...Beats are not sold on their engineering expertise, or sound quality (which is dreadfully over bass boosted and unsubtle) but on their hip/cool factor to people with no exposure to anything better. Same market segment that will line up for athletic shoes, or to be frank even line up to buy an iPhone that they have never seen or laid eyes on to know if it's buggy or not, just to have the cool, slick shiny item before their buddies do.
And showing it won't matter one whit, the kind of fanboy who is into this will attack the people who pointed out the emperor is naked rather than turn their ire towards the company selling them crap for high prices. Eric Hoffer's "True Believers" in a nutshell.
