I don’t think they’re that bad, just a bad image. It’s just a bud with blue accents and a white bud with red accents.

You going to buy some?

That right ear unit with the word "better" on it -- is so bizarre..

A Canadian gift shop and the NBA partnering together on a set of Beats..
just...so weird..

For $250, those are absolutely ugly as can be! If they came out with those in black, I think they would look some what better, however, I would still not get them.

PS: $250 for outdated technology?! Come on Apple.

:apple:

I’d consider it as an NBA fan to celebrate year 75, but I’m put off by it also looking like a custom 76ers pair.
 
Actually Apple pays the NBA royalty fees for using the brand and their logo.
Most likely a large percentage cut from the sale of each unit.
I know that is likely the case, but they are so ugly… NBA just HAD to pay Apple to get them to do this. Had to. ?
 
Looks terrible… multiple company logos blatantly on a product…

Reminds me of how Job intentionally rejected and forbade the ‘intel inside’ sticker on MacBooks even at a financial cost to the company.

Maybe they are relaxing this because it’s the Beats logo… and not tainting/ cheapening apple directly.
