If you live in Beantown, Dr. Dre's stock just went up. The famous rapper-gone-producer has teamed up with Monster and Major League Baseball to announce "Beats by Dr. Dre Red Sox Edition Headphones from Monster."
"The Red Sox are one of the most historic and respected franchises in all of professional sports, and their fans are among the most famously loyal," said Jimmy Iovine, Chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M and co-founder of Beats by Dr. Dre. "We are very proud to be partnering with our friends at the Red Sox to introduce these headphones to the fans of this iconic team. We enter this relationship with sincere gratitude to all the athletes that have been so supportive of Beats."
In addition to mad respect from your fellow BoSox fans and dirty glares from baseball's Evil Empire (Yankees), the Red Sox themed headphones come with a Monster headphone cable with Quadripole 4 twisted pair construction (Monster says this reduces signal loss), iSoniTalk iPhone enabled headphone cable, "Rigid Tour" case, anti-microbial cleaning cloth, 1/3 to 1/4 inch adapter, and two AAA batteries.
The headset is available now for $400, and for that price, we wish it came autographed by Beckett.

I don't think I'll ever buy a thing from Monster. Ever since they went on that lawsuit spreeagainst other companies with monster in their names. (for example Monster mini-golf in RI).

These headphones have shown to be nothing but some really overpriced piece of bass-s&&t. For that money, get some real headphones such as Sennheiser HD 595 / 600 / 650 or some great quality earbuds: Shure 530, Senns IE8 or the Ultimate Ears Triple Fi ... it´s really sad to see bad products selling well just because a famous trademark is printed on it

These are the ugliest things ever. My god you'd have to be a serious Dr Dre fan or a serious Sox fan. For 400 dollars they had better be beyond phenominal. However, like many things, people will be buying them because of the name.

Jeez, for $400, there should've been some kind of code for a digital download of his very long awaited (probably too long) Detox album (or whatever it'll be called).
