Who?

If they want to do a tribute Beats about a football player overcoming adversity, do this man instead:

Literally nobody cares about American football outside US and maybe some places in Canada. Football(yes, soccer) is the most popular sport almost in every country, except the US and Canada,despite you, maybe, thinking differently.
That being said, I can’t even catch up with all the different “custom” Beats coming out, like, every month. Do they think people will just replace old “branded” Beats or want to cover as big as possible customer base by slaping most basic and generic celebrity name on their product?

I care about functional differences and improvements. I don’t care at all about celebrity endorsements that are nothing more than a marketing ploy.
 
That is one ugly pattern - like Mickey Mouse had a seizure or something..
 
They’re nice, but I don’t know why they have to be related to Neymar, a 27 year old who has yet to live up to expectations.

For the same reason a lot of basketball players get shoe endorsements when 90% of basketball fans don’t know them. I don’t know what that reason is however.
 
The perfect partnership. The ability to transcend the arena they inhabit, but consistently and embarrassingly failing due to greed and myopic lack of self-awareness. Everything that is wrong with both the sport and Apple all neatly rolled up (in a ball writhing in fake agony) in one fragile lump of tasteless plastic and poor quality components.

Eloquently said.
 
Yes it uses the most common type of charging port.

What’s incredible is it doesn’t matter what connection a device uses, someone somewhere will find something wrong with it. Are you expecting five different ports so you don’t need to buy a dongle?
Micro-USB is hardly the most common type of charging port in recent devices, especially so in this price range. It’s never been good but now it is just embarrassing. Sony has updated the port in the newest 1000XM to USB-C. Is Apple strapped for cash?
 
Wow thought apple had forgotten about Beats - about time they updated the range with some new tech really?!?! Sports ones are what.. 2.5 years old? odd.
 
$350.

The profit margin on these cans has to be astronomical.

According to Gruber they are being sold at cost. The problem is that Apple is making too high of quality. /S

What are these "countries out side of the US" that you speak of? ;)
