If they bought Senheisser, nobody would say anything.
Or even Sennheiser.
I haven't ever listened to Beats headphones, so I don't know anything about the quality. Are they any good?
If they are only "good" with a couple of genres, I personally wouldn't classify them as good. So what's the verdict?
Any professional reviewer would, and has, panned them. For the same or less money you can buy better-sounding headphones from several companies.
Beats ushered in the current era of headphones popularity, specifically medium/full size "non portable" headphones, based on a widely-known used-to-be DJ hip hop artist's involvement and promotion. Beats was the first in the modern era to combine style with a huge marketing push. Think Bose from the 1970s.
