Why the first set of BeatsByDre headphones will be very expensive someday
A while ago we saw the price of the 2001 Apple’s first generation ipods go up, on sites like ebay. As old-fashioned as they are, prices could range from $20,000 dollars up. Devices like this are now considered tech relics. The Same will be for the BeatsByDre headphones in due course. Especially the wireless ones.
The age of sound devices has evolved. From the penetration of the BeatByDre sound devices into the market in 2006, until now. There’s been massive changes in terms of sound quality, product design, product quality, e.t.c. Not only that, nowadays, if you’d like to purchase an earphone or headphone, you can choose from a range of sound; bass or treble, or both combined with an amplifier included. Some companies dedicated in the making of headphones, have followed with the aforementioned changes. A lot of them are adapting to the new age of sound device production, and this is all because the Beats trend.
Looking at the Beats Studio Wireless Over-Ear Headphones as an example, we see a range of features included. Starting from the design to the sound quality. Firstly, we see the uniqueness. Not only fold-able, but also rests well over the head and ears. Then the tech specs; Active Noise Cancelling, With Remote and Mic, Wireless. Then the logo which is just amazing. The headset also comes with a cable just in case you do not wish to connect to a wireless device, or you do not have one. It also comes with a great battery life. The details of this headphone can be found on the Apple or Beats website. Now, let’s take a look at its compatibility which is not just limited to Apple devices alone, but also other music players and phones.
The acquisition of Beats by Apple in 2014 without indications over how Beats would be integrated into Apple’s product should raise concern, and this is also the reason why the first set of beats products will be expensive. When Apple’s first generation ipod came out in 2001, prices were around $199. But now, you get the same ipod for over $20,000. The Beat Studio Wireless headphone cost around $400 then and now, think about how much the same set will cost in future. You guessed right! Of course, if you had the first versions, you will get more money as most people prefer to buy them as collectibles or tech relics. So if you have them, keep them. Furthermore, Apple has this trend of incompatibility as we know. Let’s say you buy an ipod and you want to share files or docs over Bluetooth, that won’t work. It may work on a few devices, but not all. The BeatsByDre products are all compatible with Apple’s devices. It is really hard to say whether Apple is going to adopt the incompatibility method with the Beats wireless sets especially, but with the release of the iphone7 which didn’t include any 3.5mm jack for cable earphones and headphones proves that soon the Beats wireless sets will only be compatible with Apple’s products. More reason you need to keep your wireless Beats headset.
So if you are looking at the first set of Beats wireless earphone or headphones, you are one of the lucky few.
