On Thursday the Financial Times broke the news that premium headphone maker Beats Electronics (sometimes known as “Beats By Dre”) was finalizing a deal to sell to Apple for a reported $3.2 billion.
Apple has long been criticized for its poor earphones and Beats could fix that immediately.
Rival HTC’s M8 is touted as the first music phone ever to use Harman sound, so Apple may want to add Beats to its own iPhone in order to stay competitive.
The purchase would help shore up Apple’s share of the music subscription service industry, thanks to Beats Music.
Dr. Dre Celebrates
