Dr Dre sponsors olympic swimmers?

[psychocandy]

Where do they put them when they're swimming? How comes no-one nicks them?

Dr Dre beats Olympic brand police by sending headphones to Team GB

Love the photo caption - "Dr Dre sent British Olympic team members special versions of his Beats headphones" - and the thought that Dr Dre and his homies actually carefully packaged, labelled and shipped the headphones from South Central LA!

For that matter, have you looked at the male swimmers, mincing is really not what comes to mind when I see this:

Clearly with nowhere near the drooling, slack-jawed relish you have

Budgie smugglers? When did you last watch competitive swimming, 1978? For that matter, have you looked at the male swimmers, mincing is really not what comes to mind when I see this:

Anyway when you're walking out into the Aquatics centre listening to Dub Step (they're a popular London band) exquisite sound quality is hardly the most important thing.

Agreed, who needs music when you can mince around in a tight pair of budgie smugglers listening to adoring middle aged mums screaming your name

[d000hg]

They may be most valuable for sound-cancelling rather than music quality, if they provide that?

I got a pair as my main and I think they are great, much better than anything else I have used

Ok maybe not crap but £300 good?

I have a theory about cheap Chinese fake goods, they most probably come out of the same factory as the branded items... just via a different door.

One of the swiss footballers was on my flight yesterday and was wearing a pair.

Probably a coincidence.

Oh, he also had an S3 and an ipad. #pointlessinfo

They're crap though, I know someone who bought a fake pair for £40 through dealextreme and compared them to the real thing, the fakes actually sounded better.

Fools, money and the power of advertising.

But hats off to the guy for subverting the corporate will of the IOC and LOCOG

Thought so, and it isn't just the GB team.

Beats at the Olympics

[Moscow Mule]

Are you sure they aren't Fanny Wangs.

Whats with quite a few swimmers wearing Beats by Dr Dre headphones when they come to swim. Guerilla advertising?
