Beats Electronics, founded by Andre “Dr. Dre” Young and Interscope chairman Jimmy lovine, burst onto the audio scene in 2006 and has quickly become one of the world’s most recognized headphones.
Audiophiles have scoffed at the price of the headphones for the quality they produce, claiming they produce too much bass which distorts the sound, but despite their technical merits, the trendy headsets continue to gain popularity for their brand image.
Beats headphones generally run a couple of hundred dollars but if you were wondering what the most expensive pair of Beats you could purchase today is, it is likely the pro series which is priced at $399.95-$449.95 USD.
Custom designer pairs of headphones have also been popular. Below are the most expensive.
