Beats Solo3 and Powerbeats3 Wireless Headphones Get New Pop Collection of Colors

[Apache1]

These colours look cheap, and tacky, targeted towards children. My god Apple what are doing? There are many good headphones from Sony, Bowers & Wilkins, Panasonic even, to name just three. I think Apple paid over the odds for this company. Just like Microsoft does when it buys out all the other companies it has bought over the years. Nokia in particular.

You are thinking about executive types where there is little money. Think of every 10-20 year old.

powerbeats 3 needs a serious update. too many failures due to sweat exposure.

Lov the colors. Beats its just top notch quality. Better than B&O and many others. Only with Dr Dre you can hear the deep bass sound. I just wish they add a display on the sides that shows the album’s cover and random photos from my instagram there. That would be cool.

That’s actually a really good idea!! Billion dollar idea actually. That and an arrangement of 300lumens LEDs that you could slightly program an arrangement or respond to te track you’re listening too!

Something for the Joker from 80’s Batman.

You mean the 90’s movies with Val Kilmer and George Clooney?!

You're right. My timeline was thrown off by those colors.

And that everyone has these headphones at the gym too.

And a huge line off knock offs in the bodybuilding industry that was made to resist sweat unlike the Beats Solo3/Studio3s and they work.

How do you propose they be more wireless?

There is a rumor Apple is working on “truly wireless” over-ear headphones but that will take a very innovative design to get right.

Oh yeah BIG CANs on your ears or covering your ears with ear clips to hold them there, great thinking.

Lmao no the rumor specifically stated Apple is working on high-end truest wireless headphones that may include ANC not over the ear ones only. Lol.

Except that Apple has already made their money back +

Because it’s a multi billion dollar business

Is it just me asking this question: why did Apple buy this tacky product?

 

[Cigsm]

They have no problems selling, figuring they’re the top selling headphone company by far. Seems you’re the one not making sense.

If you can't sell your over priced garbage, instead of coming out with new stupid colors, maybe think about improving your product. Nah, that makes too much sense.

Remember when Apple was a niche company?

Remember when Apple used to focus on pro computers, not headphone and watchband colors?

 

[Cigsm]

Lol Apple has more then made their money back from buying beats.

They will still have poor should. Apple wasted a lot of money buying Beats.

Fragmentation doesn’t mean what you think it means.

It's weird they use USB-B. Apple products are SO fragmented now.

Some products use USB-C, others Lightening, these headphones, USB-B. 3 types of connectors!! Good Job Tim.. that is some good product integration and ecosystem management. When does Tim retire?

You should quote world wide sales of Android devices, Apple's market share in the world vs USA (one of Apple's last places that is still has leadership). Also, you should quote Microsoft's sky rocketing revenue.

I say if Craig or a monkey been in charge of Apple, Apple's market cap and revenue would be higher

Somehow, I doubt that, but I guess it’s a moot point given that we are both dealing with hypotheticals here.

I hope Apple release Powerbeats 4 which have no cables at all, its one of the very few earphones that actually stay in your ear. That would be awesome and very airpod like.

There are some Apple fans that don't want to see Apple succeed if it means they aren't catered to.
