I actually bought a pair of Beats, can’t remember where they are now.
Bad quality for being Apple-ish. Didn’t used them much.
Prefer my AirPods in every way.

This ads for them doesn’t make them better, just more like….trash.
 
arent there going to be a lot of men who would have bought those colours but arent going to buy the 'kim kardashian' ones as it would be seen as feminine.

me id buy them, but if she's on the box its going in the bin before anyone sees.
I bought the purple ones when they first came out (liked all the other colours even less), and I'd have bought one of the new colours had they been available at the time. Still, no regrets, they serve me very well despite their weird colouring. And as Kim Kardashian doesn't get delivered to my doorstep along with the order, I wouldn't worry about her advertising them. Get them if you need good wireless headphones for sports. Don't get them to listen to Mozart at home.

I've never liked Beats. I always thought they were overpriced and were an easy way to spot a douchebag a 20 paces. That faded a bit as Apple bought them and they moved to the smaller, less obnoxious in-ears, but I still never liked them.

This, however, does nothing to further alleviate my dislike of the brand as a whole.
 
Good for her. She and Apple are going to make a lot of money. Not the first Apple has allowed a celebrity to pick a few colors and tap into the celeb's social media presence to move units. I would like to see companies Apple's size impose charity requirements in their contracts though. Sure we'll partner with Kim and she can pick 3 colors she likes but half of her cut goes to a charity of her choice. It would shut up some of the haters (myself included) if knowing that Kim's fans were at least giving back when they support their celebrities.
 
I like to get clothing/shoes in these colors, but not sure about the earbuds. With hearing aids/assistive devices people want them to blend in better and hide ones that are too big, but with earbuds you want people around you to be aware that you’re wearing them.
 
I am surprised they don't sell for 100 bucks extra "while supply last".

MR might hate her but she seems to be doing something right. Her stuff always sells out in no time.
It sells out because of the brand name. There's nothing more to it. Many people have mentioned the quality is bad.
 
I came for all the snarky comments. You can hate Kim Kardashian all you want, but she's smart as a whip when it comes to her brand and business. She and Apple will make a killing, and you'll all still be whining on the MacRumors message boards.

Also, I don't mind the colors. They're not what I would choose, but they are nice shades and my wife and daughter would be all over them.

Personally I think they would go well with all those brown Zunes that are still out there.

When has anyone discussed the quality of her Skkn product line here? I knew nothing about it prior to reading your comment, but a cursory look at the reviews seems to indicate her product is a solid entry into the market at their price point.

Smart enough to agree to her husband naming their child “North West” then both of them wanting to sue compass manufacturers or anyone who used the geographical direction of “North West” for infringement. She’s smart at undoing her bra and showing her jubblies and batty off I’ll give her that, but she’s only in this position for her looks. Would Susan Boyle get the same treatment?
