Back in March, Beats announced a plan to launch a streaming music service codenamed Project Daisy. Today, the company's CEO, Ian Rogers, has posted a blog (via TechCrunch) stating the service will launch in January. There's no word yet on how much the service may cost, but Beats Music has launched a site where you can reserve a username now.

"When I joined Beats Music in January I’d expected we’d get this out the door before the end of the year," said Rogers. "Thankfully I work with people who have patience and are more concerned about getting Beats Music right than pushing it out the door. In retrospect we’ve accomplished far more this year than I’d imagined possible."

Apparently, the service is currently in beta with "artists and other influencers" giving Beats Music a test run. According to TechCrunch, the service may allow users to stream a playlist at the same time a celebrity user is listening to the same music.
 
I guess this means that Dr Dre is about to be a billionaire.
 
Sounds lame unless they partner with Soundcloud or something else out there. The reach isn't good enough.
 
I've seen lots of ideas like this recently. The way people listen to music is changing as much or more right now as the video industry was changed by Netflix.

This might be successful just because of the name. I mean, that's the only reason the headphones are successful.

The headphones are kind of on the expensive side but the sound quality is fantastic!

They just play loud bass and treble. They aren't actually that high quality, and they're certainly not worth their price. Comparable headphones are usually much better.

I used to own Bose and Sony noise canceling headsets until I borrowed some Beats on a road trip. I was blown away at how good they sounded! Crystal clear with amazing bass and mids actually.

Put my other headsets on Craigslist the next day and bought some Beats for myself that afternoon. Been very happy with them. Doesn't matter if I'm listening to Jay-Z, Led Zepplin or Miles Davis.

Not sure why you think this?

This is pretty much my view on it:

Bottom line. You're probably paying more for the Beats name, especially for models without active noise cancellation. In almost almost every category there are lower-priced models that offer the same, and sometimes better, sound quality. So if sound quality is your only consideration, choose one of those models rather than a Beats set.

But in almost every category of consumer goods, there are some brands that command a higher price because they have developed an allure that transcends their component costs, Apple being an obvious example. If design, aesthetics, and personal identification with a brand are important to you as a consumer, then Beats headphones may well be worth the extra money, provided you find their sonic signature compatible with the style of music you most enjoy. Most of Beats headphones we tested can deliver very good to excellent sound, so you'll have to determine whether the value of these other elements are commensurate with the price you're being asked to pay.

I don't think they're bad, but as a principle, I don't like buying things that are higher priced simply because of the brand. It's common opinion that they are not the best quality headphones for how expensive they are.

I've tried the Beats headphones. They are on par with a run-of-the-mill set of headphones. They are a marketing gimmick.
 
I got dem Bowers and Wilkins P3s, son. act like you know. I actually got the Ludacris ripoffs of Beats by Dre as well..only $30. lol. just for the gym.

Basically, "urban youths" are the best consumers. So you target them, then the crackaz follow.
 
Yeah, I mean Monster Cable owned them...they're the same guys that convinced america you need $100 gold plated RCA cables for your home theatre. :MARIS61:

Did you read this somewhere or have you yourself tested them. I don't know how you could make decisions on things without trying them out yourself. They are so outstanding in craftsmanship and sound I own the earbuds as well.
 
Interesting to me that just because something is popular some people on here wouldn't buy it.

I have no complaints. Well built, high quality.
 
I have used them many times..

It's not about how popular they are, they are overpriced.

Hey bro... My bass is so much stronger, and my highs are so much clearer with my Monster Cables. I run my cables in front of my equipment so everybody can see that I have Monster Cables.

It has nothing to do with them being popular. They are decent headphones, but nowhere near being worth the price.

They are popular because they have a great marketing team, not because they are the best headphones for the money.

I GOT THESE BIG "B" ON MY HEADPHONES SO EVERYONE KNOWS I'M A BALLER.

So the reason you don't own them is the price not the quality than.

I can't speak for Vanilla, but for me, it wasn't the price. It was that the quality didn't justify the price.
 
Anyone tried this yet? I'm enjoying using it. It seems to be really attempting to hang it's hat on helping the user find music they want (even if they don't know they want it).
 
Could be it's not the phones but the users ears? Some are better quality than others I hear
 
I thought this was a thread about the MUSIC SERVICE??? Not the headphones.
 
YES. EVERYONE STAY ON SUBJECT OR ELSE FACE A BAN.
 
No one gives a shit about the music service. It probably won't even exist in 18 months.
