Say what you will about Dr. Dre, but the man is a hip-hop legend. Say what you will about Lady Gaga, but she’s terrible. So you can either consider the fact that “Heartbeats by Lady Gaga” was just announced as one of two things: a callous cash grab, attempting to earn (?) more money while Lady Gaga is still popular, or… no, that’s the only reason these things exist.
The press release makes it sounds as if Jupiter himself designed the headphones, and that they will forever be known for their “incredible sonic clarity, pounding bass, and all the power demanded by today’s music.” Okie dokie.
That may well be true, considering the biggest knock against the original Beats by Dre was the price. The headphones weren’t too shabby, but $350 just wasn’t reasonable.
I kid you not, this is what Lady Gaga has to say about the headphones:
In the deepest hour of the night, I confess to myself three things; I would die if I was forbidden to write, forbidden to love, or forbidden to fashion. Heartbeats embody the trinity of my human-being, with one additional vow: that SOUND matters. Wear Heartbeats, love each other, and celebrate the art and lifestyle of music
“To fashion”? Does Lady Gaga carve little figurines out of soap or something? Or does she mean “to fashion,” like, to wear quote-unquote outrageous clothes all day long just to get heat? Because, frankly, Gorgeous George wants his gimmick back.
There’s only so much you can say about a pair of headphones without having heard them. (Not that they’ll give us a pair now!) There’s a built-in microphone, meaning that you can use ‘em on your phone and be able to talk to your friends and assoociates without missing… without missing a beat. They’re due this October, in several colors, and priced between $99 and $149, which, to be fair, isn’t too out of the norm when we’re talking about mid-tier headphones. But I somehow doubt too many of you guys would be interested in Lady Gaga headphones!
Also announced was the Beats Solo, a sort of entry level cousin to the original Beats by Dre. Those are anywhere from $179 to $219, and they’ll be available in November. No photos of those, though. Eu sinto muito.
lady gaga has a penis!
I thought she had it taken off to hit those auto-tune high notes better.
You’re a prick, LG is not a lame gimmick.
And those headphones look AMAZING.
Negative and bitter article. Sounds like Nicholas can’t afford Beats and Monster won’t give him any for free. No wonder.
Well said Whattha. he is a p****
Negative and bitter, maybe. But then again, he is right about one thing: They do it for the money. :D
i just want to say publicly, that if you hardly know anything about it, or even tried the product out for yourself, then you shouldnt rant negatively about it…..PUBLICLY……Deleon, YOUR lame for even POSTING this article….(idiot)
You showed me, Ricky!
Honestly dude you need to shut the f*ck up. These headphones are freaking awesome and who doesn’t like lady Ga Ga? She’s a national icon. And I’m a dude and I want these headphones and yeah I’m also a lady Ga Ga fan because she f*cking rocks so you can stop being a hater and shut the hell up
@fuzzy – aren’t all business ventures SUPPOSED to earn money? otherwise there would be no point in selling a product. why sell if you can’t make money?
i think they look great. i also think they will sound great considering Dre’s Beat sounded great. you can’t say for sure until they’re tested though.
Well, maybe I should’ve said “just”. Promoting your products with some wannabe-stars name doesn’t improve the quality, only the price tag. ;)
What is up with all the love for Lady Googoo?
I fear for the future of CG if its reader get their panties in a bunch over the mocking of a talentless pop idol.
LOL, talentless? You’re probably some jealous twelve year old loser who’s upset that their precious Vajonas Brothers couldn’t make their first two singles become #1’s. Christina Aguilera and Madonna were the only other two.
Watch her perform live, then talk shit.
(I was wrong, you’re not a twelve year old loser. You’re a MIDDLE AGED loser who takes pictures of tomatoes and posts them on the web.)
i know she lady gag what but why the the hell are the $300 tht just to much to ask for a piece of shit your probly not gonna look at it 24 7 to muchhhhh monney
WOOOP OUT IN OCTOBER
Rav.. They’re 99 to 149. Not 300. And that’s the norm for headphones of that nature, so don’t put it in your two cents if it doesn’t add up.

Lady gaga is a fucking badass, i dont care what you say. It’s people like you who she doesnt give a damn about. Lets see you be as creative as her.
