mono - by the numbers, this looks like a fine purchase, but Beats are trendy, low quality, fads. That's not what Apple is. Apple has done a masterful job of selling design and quality at a premium price.
When you add Beats to the equation it looks like they are chasing numbers and not quality. Apple has plenty of cash, so why not buy the best if they want music streaming and audio (cars, headphones, etc.). That would be Harmon and Pandora (or Spotify).
To me, this reduces the quality of the brand. Burberry CEO hire sounded good, like they were aiming for a higher end fashion. Beats buy screams "trendy over quality".
Personally, I don't want anything that has the brand "Beats" printed on it. Harmon, etc., Martin Logan, etc., I'd pay a premium for (in a new car, for example).
