How is it different from iTunes?

 

No downloads to a device. You pay a monthly fee to listen to music.

That would be one example.

Is it safe to assume that the headphones that come with a phone purchase will get an upgrade?

Maybe stream music wireless on the headphones connected to wifi? Can you do that already? I wouldn't ever pay $150 for a pair of headphones so I don't own a pair of beats.

I wouldn't pay that much either but I'll take an option of marshmallow earbuds or something better than those sorry factory headphones they give us.

Does this mean Beats will start coming with a different plug that won't fit any thing else

At one time Monster Cable was the distributor/manufacturer of Beats by Dre. That relationship was severed a year or two ago....bet they are not happy.

 

 

Average headphones at best.......

At best? I strongly disagree...

How would that be different from Itunes radio, which doesn't have a fee??

Yes.

 

For the money you pay for Beats top end, you are getting into Focal/Sennheiser/Audio-Technica/V-Moda territory.

My assumption is that the Beats streaming audio business will no longer be in existence within 6 months.

My understanding is that you can't create custom play lists in ITunes radio. That's a big deal.

 

Plus Beats already has agreements in place with record companies that are better than Apple might get.

I have heard that beats are lacking in the sound department but not in the popularity department.
