Beats By...Jay-Z?

So Roc Nation has teamed up with Skull Candy headphones to create the Roc Nation Aviator headphones.  I guess the popularity of the Beats By Dre and Heartbeats Beats by Dre by Lady Gaga headphones inspired this, they are pretty popular, I've seen a lot of people (celebrities and every day people) with them.  Prices for Beats By Dre are around $150 to $350 so I'm expecting these Roc Nation ones to be about the same. Or maybe he'll low ball it to sell more.
I'm a lover of music, but I can't justify spending that much on headphones unless creating music was my actual job.  Headphones break pretty easily and even though I love the sounds of the beat and what not, unless I'm producing it I don't need that much quality. Plus they are kinda big since I carry headphones around with me everywhere and one of the points of headphones is mobility. The Beats By Dre laptop from HP is about $2,200 and I know for sure I don't need that.  I'm not saying this a bad product to make, there is definitely money in it and the quality of headphones is great, but I don't have a need for it.  If they created a speaker set that would be pretty cool.  I will say these Roc Nation headphones are hideous though.
UPDATE: Diddy has beats by Dre headphones too called Diddy beats.  Headphones are the new fragrance for artists.  Everybody has a scent and now everybody's making headphones. I think you need to be a reputable producer or artists to have headphones.  Like beats by Ray J? I don't think that would sale at all.

As for a video, I was going to post the video for one of my favorite Jay-Z songs, "Big Pimpin" but embedding was disabled.  I know, weird.  Anyway Eminen and Jay-Z are going to to play concert at their hometown's respective baseball stadiums (Eminem in Comerica Park, Jay-Z Yankee Stadium) and they are going to be each other opening act.  Crazy, right?!? I mean great performances and baseball park food is good lol. Yeah I plan on going of course.  Here's them making the announcement in Comerica Park (and why was I not there!?)
