$400 Red Sox Beats headphones |
Dr. Dre and the Boston Red Sox have teamed up for a branded Red Sox version of the popular Beats headphones. At $400, these are about $100 more than a typical Beats.
You could have a whole day at the ballpark for less than that. You’re paying for the logo of course. These should at least come with a ticket to one of their games. Red Sox fans probably won’t mind the price though.











I am a fan of headphones that sound good for watching movies and playing games on my PC. Good sound is also nice for the few occasions when I want to listen to some music. I am far from an audiophile though and stick to reasonably priced headphones.
When my kids were young, we had a car with a DVD player built-in. The car had originally came with wireless headphones so the adults could listen to music while the kids watched a movie. When we bought the car, the headphones were missing and the dealer wanted over a $100 for a single set.
I can certainly see the desire to have noise-cancelling earphones with kids around. I can’t work if my son and his friends are playing games in the living room, they are too loud. A nice set of headphones would help me put up with his goofy friends and all their giggling.
If you are in the market for a new pair of rugged headphones that you can use out in the rain and take with you on camping trips etc, you might want to check out the Ryobi RP4530.
If you are a music fan that uses an iPhone for your mobile phone and music device you really need to get yourself a decent set of headphones. The problem is that most of the good sets of headphones on the market lack a mic for making voice calls. Shure has announced a new headset specifically for the iPhone and iPod that has a mic and great sound.
