Interesting, this doesn't really mean anything.

Now let's hope that they both disappear from this site !

If monster still remains active, they will continue producing overpriced crap, and ignorant people will continue buying them, even without the Dre label :/

If Monster continues down the road they began with the well regarded Miles Davis and turbine models, well, there may be hope yet.
 
Dre and Beats on the other hand, are a completely lost cause.

 

[shlok1993]

+1 for turbines, I got them for 80 bucks and they are totally worth it......the Dre products were horrible BTW

I don't know. Why would this be a great day for us? How will this make my life any easier?

In the the followup, Monster will pump eight new headphone lineups featuring due out this year, Monster is also noted to have brought in 60% of its own revenue from Beats by Dre, and now plans to shift its focus on older demographics, such as executive types, which the brand never exactly catered to.

 
This can't be good lol.  The next thing you know they will sue the pants off Audeze or something...  Hey your headphones are BIG  but we "patented" that @#%!.  FTL.

HTC Beats?

I wish they would have made a better quality product. That's all.

IMO Monster has been a heavy handed marketer and strategic player in the audio world --although now going after executives seems a little far fetched.  Their strength is not in product quality.

What a surprise, let us now hope that monster will focus on the turbine series... I wonder whose gonna produce those beats headphones, I'm kinda thinking Bose Beats. 

 

[Dubstep Girl]

this is a good thing.
 
monster can now make headphones that are as good as their turbine series.
 
or they can go downhill by making overpriced crap that isn't much better than beats.

Awful doesn't even begin to describe it. I tasted bile while looking at them. 
But hey, I bet they will sell a million.
