Is it ever OK to wear Beats by Dre in public?

Break down the Beats.

THESE ARE BEATS.

They’re a brand of headphones by rapper Dr. Dre, and have just been bought by Apple for $3 billion. One BILLION, times three.

They’re really expensive (about €150) and basically ‘designer’ audio gear. But they look a little silly. A bit like this.

And aren’t known to have the best quality sound either.

We all know where they got their logo from.

But where do you sit on the Beats scale?

Dudes stay wearing they beats headphones around they neck. Like they neck can listen to music.

So, what’s the verdict? Are you in or are you out? In this absolutely non-biased study, we ask:

Would you wear a set of Beats in public, where people can see you with their eyes?

I would and I have. Deal with it (2872)

HELL. NO. (899)

No and I heavily judge those who do (540)

I'm still trying to understand what Beats are (311)

Thanks to @beatsbydre for dropping the dope commercial and thanks to all the 49er faithful for standing behind us, I got nothin but love for yall! #HearWhatYouWant #49erFaithful kaepernick7 kaepernick7
