Hello Arun
hi
Apple: If we can't Beat them? Lets buy them.
This is standard practice in Business! Mac OS, Touch screen tech, Siri, Maps, Apple Chips etc etc all came from buying up other companies
Wait wtf your the guy who makes weapons out of popsicle sticks lol
Wow
Outstanding Move to beat beats
@- man wtf

Beat by Dre is basically the classic example of how you can use marketing to brute force any generic product into a premium one
Cracks me up when you can get custom molded balanced armature in ear monitors that are actually studio quality in the same price range hand made for you
That's why marketing is important. The entire "free" internet works on ads, and ads are marketing.
People are not forced to buy them though. I have never bought an apple nor a beats product. And people are free to spend their money however they choose.
@@dick8997 if you use a bit of common sense you'd realize that beats are not supposed to sound good. They are supposed to be fashionable. There's no point of comparing apples to oranges.
Just like digital watches vs super expensive mechanical watches. Yes mechanical watches are more complex to manufacture, but people buy them for fashion and to flaunt their wealth.
@@sepg5084 "Marketing" is a PC way to say that people are gullible and sheeple.
It's crazy how a piece of technology can encapsulate a moment in time. Seeing Beats again reminds me of my high school and early college years. They really were everywhere.
They’re still everywhere fyi.
I almost purchased a pair yesterday. tru story
@@CybericXL haven't seen a one in a while. Lot of chinese ones replaces them and also sony

It's worth pointing out that Apple didn't just "foresee" the rise of wireless earbuds and headphones- they helped drive it by removing the headphone jack from Apple devices. And it reeks, quite frankly, because if there's one device built with planned obsolescence in mind, it's an electronic device with a rechargeable, non-replaceable battery.
Non-replaceable with THAT attitude
good point
Facts!
Whoever did the research into Beats is a genius. This is probably the most significant acquisition by Apple.
Hearing someone say "Beats by Dr Dre" sends me right back to 2013.
09 tbh
Kids still used it at my school basically to show "they have money".
Even though there's MUCH better headphones at the same price. Products of great marketing 😂
"Dude, the bass on this Skrillex track sound so dope on my Beats..."
all it does is remind me that the majority of people are dumb consumers. now they all have Iphones.
2011 for me
So to summarize..
Apple: Beats is giving us competition?
Also Apple: *"Hippity hoppity, beats is now our property"*
Yes
Lmao so true
hahaha
Huppity hoppity this comment is now my property
You look kinda thicc btw
@@calledtim_ rip changed ppf 💀
I remember back in 2009 I bought my first pair of "more premium" headphones. I wanted the bass, so I settled on a $35 pair of Skull Candy headphones. I was in love with them back then. I thought they were the greatest thing in the world and had way more bass than the BEATS. Which in my mind made them better.
I bought my first (and last) pair of SkullCandy in 2008. They literally broke the same day I bought them, when I gently pulled them off my head. Never again. Cheap cheap cheap all the way.
Sound quality for skullies is better than beats.. lost mine in 2017
The problem with cheap headphones like skull candy is that they can sound good at an affordable price, but they are affordable because they have to save money somewhere. The speaker is the most expensive part on the unit. Everything else is trash! This is also happening with cheap wireless earbuds. At the end of the day, it’s best to just by at least a mid range pair, so the material won’t just fall apart and you will be right back at the store buying another set.
Not only did beats gain a lot of popularity because of the way they were promoted, but they gained even more popularity when dubstep came around and the whole world wanted to hear „d-d-d-d-drop the bass"
PEAK Beats culture was that friend you had in 2011 who copied Skrillex's style and would talk *at you* for hours about how a song that goes wubbwubbwubbwubwubwuwbwuwbwuzzwuzzwuzzwuzzwubwubwubwub was like listening to Mozart if you did it with your $300 Studio Beats that have a Spider-Man logo on it, for some reason.
Bro Dubstep was out way before beats was around.
It came from the UK around 2002, we was banging that bass way before beats 😅

In short, Apple pulled a Microsoft on Beats: "embrace, extend, extinguish"
On nokia?
Big difference: MS does "embrace, extend, extinguish" to other companies.
Apple bought Beats and integrated it. Anybody who thought paying 3 billion for Beats was too much was a moron. Beats made Apple more than 3 billion in revenue in around 7 months. Total no brainer to buy Beats, it was a bargain. Now the AirPods brand, if it were an independent company would be part of the Fortune 500.
@@bruxi78230 all tech companies including MSN buy companies to get hold of the tech. It's just in this case, the visibility is high
@@kewlkarthi89 ----- I agree with the general theme of what you're saying. Where I disagree vehemently with Jalabi is the fact that Apple buying Beats is NOT a case of "embrace, extend, extinguish". He doesn't understand history. In the late 90s Microsoft lost a case and became a convicted predatory monopoly. The words for it that the US Department of Justice used was in fact "embrace, extend, extinguish". They were successful in killing off Netscape and others through such tactics.
@@bruxi78230 I'm fully aware of the history of Microsoft, and of Apple, regarding the former's anti-trust issues, thank you. Ironically Microsoft made an investment in Apple in the mid-90s specifically to get the DOJ off of their back w.r.t. antitrust.
The general term for what Apple did w.r.t Beats is "acqui-hire": they bought the company mainly in order to acquire the intellectual property and/or products for use in their future products. But it's still a case of "embrace, extend, extinguish" because as @Mrwhosetheboss said in the video, for the most part Beats is a shadow of its former self since Apple bought them. Apple did that mainly to prevent Beats from becoming a strong future competitor to them in the headphones and digital music streaming spaces.
They made us wear them in Barns&Nobles as a demo to sell...yeah I was one of the quickly growing list of people allergic to to the dye they were made with.
It actually made me sad for Beats. Awesome Explanation and amazing storytelling.

Ahh, I had three pairs of Beats back in the day. I remember each of them clear-as-day: 2 pairs of Solo HD (white, baby blue) and Solo 2 wireless (in gold).
That really was a good era that I look back on and smile. I loved feeling like I was hearing all of the music back in middle school and high school. Man, the nostalgia.
I sometimes hate how “big companies” do business. But I find it so smart at the same time. There’s a reason why they are at the top when it comes to business moves. Love the way Arun puts it. Simple and easy to understand and yet so informative.

Yeah, I’m not sure how whosetheboss didn’t realize this one. Apple didn’t ‘predict’ a shift from wired to wireless with smart devices, they straight up willed it into existence. People also were not happy with it. Basically what happened in actuality is the exact opposite of what he said happened.

@@G_F1 Apple isn't the only platform out there that they would single-handedly change the market. There are *still* an enormous number of Android phones with headphone jacks. Currently using one myself and it is a new flagship.

Were they something like Beats by Dяe?
no
@@EpicB Beats by Djae?
@@kili7728 Jay-Z should start Beats By Jay.
I remember someone thinking my real beats were fake and even convinced me to force my mom to return them to the store because they were not real. ....
My dad was really into music and when I was growing up we had a decent headphones and loudspeakers around. I unintentionally learned to listen to music thoughtfully and hear nuances in different tracks. I never owned a pair of Beats put sometimes tried my friend's Beats and I was shocked. I couldn't understand why they (or their parents) had paid a hundreds of dollars for a pair that sounded like it shouldn't cost more than 10$. Going forward I treated Beats By Dr. Dre always as a case study in marketing, more than a high end audio company. And boy did they know something about marketing! Couple years back I had a fleeting thought and wondered when/where did they disappear. Thanks for answering that + delivering a well put together and entertaining video!
I remember my first beats in high school where everyone had them. The day I got em was the best in my life lol still love beats to this day. Got new ones on order atm
Beats by Dre were the OG Raycons: Marketing and fashion over substance.
I can say this now, but at least Beats looked good, Raycon just looks like a lot of different plastics put together
@@justinedzard But I do think that is due to what Arun pointed out in the video about reviews. Compared to 10 years ago, consumers are more informed about products due to the availability of entertaining and informative reviews. People realized that Raycon were poorly made because of videos comparing them to cheap Chinese products and testing their sound against earbuds that are half the price.
I do think product lines that are more fashion and style over substance can succeed. Comparing Beats to Raycon, Beats had a more influential figurehead and created hype from word of mouth rather than paying way too many TH-camrs to run ads for them. Raycon is also failing because of their poor execution of the same marketing strategy. They got into the wireless earbuds game way too late.
The same facility that produced Beats also produced headphones called the Monster - Inspirations... Spent $200 on them and their sleek, rectangular metal body won me over... They sound great, don’t know about Beats though... :/

Apple acquired beats to suck the life out of it until it fades away. Unlike, Google who took TH-cam and made it into a giant in its market. I guess there are two ways to form a monopoly, either way, they still corner the market. I prefer the latter.
Lol watching this video on my Beats 🎧 studio 3’s 🤣 I love your Content!
Amazing video! Thank for the great info
Dre and Iovine were smart to sell when they realized Beats already peaked.
Facts. How much did they sell it for? And how much did 50 Cent sell Vitamin Water?
@@jezebulls Ultimately they sold the company for $3 bil. although not all of it went to them as there were other stakeholders at the time. For Dr. Dre at least, he walked away with $500 mil. after taxes.
Even better how they acquired it. By taking advantage of a greedy and inexperienced Monster Cable company son of the CEO
@@bosstacofarms8821 they stole the idea from Monster..nothing to be proud of
@@check2000 no they didn't. They worked with Monster to develop their original idea for headphones. Monster agreed to a very lopsided deal out of greed and then got burnt.
Beats was a marketing company that happened to sell headphones.
Every company in the world is a marketing company btw. Bringing products to market is what defines a business.
*no bass headphones. Known as Beats.
can't agree more...well....i'm not some geniuses of sound or wadever...but even in my "deaf ear"....there is another brand that is not look good....but definitely sounds far better in cheaper price range at that time....IMO...so me personally never interested to buy this brand...even when when at their hey day or even now.....
yes. the fact that Beats headphones had extra weights inside to make seem more pro is as shitty as can get.
I never got it. Every pair I tried sounded dreadful.
Bought some beats studio 3s recently, mainly for the connectivity, and I think they sound great. I’m not big on headphones and bought them for when I travel as well. I wasn’t about to shell out $500+ for Apple AirPods max. Got them for under $200.
I for one never actually owned a pair of beats headphones because I saw them as nothing more than a trend and funny enough I saw Apple AirPods as the same so instead I bought some Sony airbuds and I can’t say I regret it
I've tried a few different brands and I've been the happiest with JBL. I still prefer over the ear headphones for music though.

They were shockingly bad! In the DJ world if you had a pair of Beats you wouldn't be considered serious about your sound. Pioneer or Senheissers were the ones to have, even a mid range level Sony headphones packed a better punch than Beats.
And I back his claims fully because I used to own a pair. They were terrible and I wouldn't buy them again, not even for $50.

though I love being nostalgic this was one of the best/smartest acquisitions ever in tech next to e.g Instagram. And if one brand could still honor the philosophy behind, Apple was a good home. Love my airpods pro - thank you Beats. Coming from one producing music on AIG, Beyer Dynamics etc. Who no one knows (outside music production). + the whole part of music streaming was probably a big part if not the biggest reason to get a head start in that war.
I had the Solo 2's, no Bluetooth, in 2014. First the little Beats logo medallion on the back of the 90-degree angle plug fell off. It's a miracle it didn't go down into the backseat of the car. Eventually the left speaker would only play when I held it in a certain place. This was before warranty so I was able to get it fixed but then, the red "leather" of both the earpieces started to come unattached. My dad was able to force it back in with a pocket knife but by then, I'd pretty much given up on them. Only lasted me like two years of light, careful use. On the other hand, the Sony Bluetooth/aux cord headset I got before going to college is still with me about 6 years later, after using it for walks, study sessions, travel and voice calls online.
Dre didnt dream up Beats, he was approached by a company that wished to use his likeness. They were never great cans but the marketing efforts were top notch.
Isn't that the truth. Clever marketing can definitely lure people into buying subpar products at an inflated price. Thankfully there are some great unbiased review channels these days.
Fashion headphones, that's what it is. Also most people don't know how good sound is supposed to be, however everyone knows louder bass when they hear it.

I remember getting peer pressured into buying a pair of Beats Studios back in High School, only for them to start falling apart after about 6 months. They taught me a valuable lesson to never chase trends.
Would be interesting to see an update now the Studio Buds, Studio Buds + and Studio Pro are here. I really think Beats have entered an exciting new era, like a more fun little brother. The Studio Buds compete directly with AirPods but in a more sound focused way. Sound quality is way up and you get noise cancelling at a price Apple can’t offer.

Ah, poor Dr. Dre. He only became the wealthiest musician in the world who's worth 800 million. I'm worried about him hahahaha.
@@bruxi78230 lmao word, him and Jimmy finessed everyone way too big with that 3 billion deal off of $20 headphones. 😂
@@mahadalisajid7374 ----- They didn't just sell $20 headphones. The had lines that extended up to $350 dollars. Second, what counts to an acquiring company are sales and profits. Beats had plenty of both. Like I said before, total no brainer to buy Beats. Imagine what revenue Apple Music does now. It's in the order of 8.5 billion per year (times 6 years is about 51 billion). Who cares about 3 billion, it's the coins lost in the sofas at Apple HQ.
@@bruxi78230 IT COST 20$ TO MAKE BUT SELL THEM 350$ THATS WHAT IT MEANT
I absolutely loved beats music when it was out, it helped me discover so many amazing bands. Apple Music is great but I’m sad beats music disappeared.
My mom got me wire beats some years ago, a year later the headband broke at the seem and I never used it again.
I remember reading a news article some years back that compared "official" Beats by Dre versus the cheap knock-offs; and the testing/teardown revealed that the "knock-offs" were actually made with superior parts and craftsmanship than the "official" beats.
The tear-down also revealed that several models of "official" beats had added unnecessary metal weights to simply make the headphones heavier for an "expensive" feel.
And sounded much better. Beats were among the worst headphones that have ever existed. Plenty of $30 sets have surpassed them
@@Wylie288 Yup. People just bought them cause they where the new trend product. And they are only usable for HipHop, Rap mostly everything else urgh
beats were a piece of crap . even their knock offs were better sounding and used better parts . the knock offs were made for 25$ and sold for 30$ where as beats original would make headphones for 20$ and sell it for 200$ . i remember way back in 2013 i bought a beats pair for my ipod touch and they absolutely sucked . i had used apple official ones till then . but the apple official ones sounded better.
Okay well that’s not true
The current Beats are good though.
"Apple knew that wireless earphones were about to explode"
Of course they knew.
RIP headphone jack.
Create a problem.
Then sell them the solution.
Even if that is partially correct, you have to admit they are a genius company.
How is it not correct? I mean sure wireless was gaining traction and investing in that is foresight, but removing the wired headphone jack and turning it into a dongle that costs extra money is basically like daring your customers to leave and relying on the fact that switching ecosystems sucks so much to keep them there anyway.
It’s fucking genius
What a bunch of idiots... The customers who let them get anyway with it, not the company.
Although... After making music with Logic, GarageBand and Beats Studio headphones for a while now...Apple are also either really incompetent, or they just don't care about the quality of their products 😂
@@touffedaviau8370 logic is a top notch daw, I wouldnt knock it at all. Garageband is also great for what it is but it's not a full fledged daw. As far as the headphones, I can see how you got fooled but no professional has ever suggested using beats studio headphones in an actual studio, at least not for doing work
Really good video,congradulations
I remember being in RadioShack around Christmas listening to a parent mention their kid wanted a beats headphones and that they were expensive and wondered what the difference really was. Well a lot of branding I said they were basically the Nikes of headphones at that time and if they actually cost $20 to make a rip off too.
So, in conclusion, Apple are geniuses that used Beat as a Trojan horse to eat the wireless ear buds and headphones market.
And now they make the best in the market, me likey
@@sirdaniel1862 Arguably.
@jerrin jos call it whatever but from the business point of view gotta give them props
@jerrin jos why don't you tell me a company that *isnt* capitalist
Smart? Yes. But very fucking anti consumer by eliminating choices and competition.
The most messed up thing about Beats headphones is that it was possible to get counterfit versions that were better quality than the genuine ones. The Beats Studio's from around 2010-2013 were the worst hit.
Listening to this on a pair of beats my dad got me for Christmas.
when you mentioned Dr. Dre at the end of the beats word i felt nostalgic
"sure they're made of metal, but they sound like they're only made of metal"
Ah yes..,the floor is made out of floor
But they are made out of plastic
They're super fuckin flimsy
This man can talk about the history of cereals and it'll be so interesting

Cereals, do have a really interesting history. tho.
I have a pair of blue Beats Solo3 and they are amazing
