Background and Identification

Beats Electronics LLC (also called Beats by Dr. Dre, or Beats by Dre) is a consumer audio products manufacturer. Beats was founded by music producer and rapper Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, but the company became an Apple subsidiary in 2014. Beats by Dre’s product line is primarily focused on headphones and speakers. The company’s original product line was manufactured in a partnership with the audio/visual equipment company Monster Cable Products. In 2014, the company expanded into the online music market with the launch of a subscription-based streaming service called Beats Music.

The PowerBeats2 Wireless Headphones by Dr. Dre is a set of in-ear headphones designed for the active user. The headphones were launched in 2015 after Apple purchased Beats by Dre. The headphones are built with lightweight design and wireless capabilities. The PowerBeats2 Wireless Headphones by Dr. Dre were one of the company’s first in-ear headphones, as most Beats headphones were over-the-ear models. According to a review of the PowerBeats2 Wireless Headphones by Dr. Dre by TechRadar, the headphones are lightweight and built for active users, but the grippy measures on the device designed for staying in place in the ear come at a sacrifice of comfort and sometimes sound performance.

The PowerBeats2 Wireless Headphones by Dr. Dre include sound drivers, Bluetooth radio, and battery. Bulbous pieces of plastic extend from behind the earbuds to allow the device to cling to the user’s ear and prevent falling out. They also include silicon hooks that offer grip around your ear’s cartilage. These earbuds include four sets of silicone ear tips in different sizes to ensure a good fit.
