That price makes a lot more sense.JBL Charge 2+ in wacky colors can be had for half price just because it's not black:

They're the size of a tall 16oz/500ml soda can; the volume/quality of output (especially bass) is dumbfounding.
I gladly picked up a "safety orange" model for $77 w/ S&H a week ago, brand new (not refurbished) instead of in "dull black" for $150.
If you get two of them, you can simultaneously us both, either as dedicated L + R speakers or both mirrored in "party mode"
FYI, the charge 3 model is significantly larger/heavier and no-where near as portable.

That's exactly why Apple bought them ... to fit in with their existing pricing scheme.
Two words that do not go together are Apple and discount. Also, they would have to give me a 90% discount to even consider these.
Wow. It's comments like these that make me wonder why you even comment for the sake of nothing. And for the record, you're wrong. But....that may come as a shock to you.
Such as?
A decent speaker JBL, Sonos, Sony, Panasonic and even the discontinued Jawbone costs way more than 20$.
And yes, Beats are overpriced, I've never bought one, but the rest of your comment makes no sense at all.

There hope that helps. Let me know if you need more.
Your comment was invalidated in 2014 when the Solo 2's were released and blew the competition out of the water. Time to update your trolling.
Agree. Most people don't care for the sound quality they listen to on headphones, for a start its been compressed and most likely not at the best quality. Just look at the marketing for Beats, it's all arts/cultural and sports aimed for the youth market who care more for branding than for fidelity.
I just got my first Beats product, the PowerBeats 3. The sound quality isn't very good, I knew it wouldn't be but with the W1 chip the syncing difficulty I had with other bluetooth headphones has disappeared. The Beats products which have the W1 chip I would recommend very much but not for their sound quality.
