NFL bans Beats By Dre

NFL players can no longer wear Beats By Dre headphones on gamedays when there are cameras around.

I wonder if they can get sets without logos or cover them up.

Does this mean Kaepernick is no longer giving media interviews?

Enough chaning the rules! Ruining the sport.

I find this pretty damn funny.

Per NFL : RW+Bose > Kap+Beats. Haha...

Not a new rule.

They are just referred to as Beats after Dre sold the headphones to Apple.

I think the NFL has bigger problems (see officiating as one example) than to worry about what headphones guys are wearing.
.....and for the record, I hate beats headphones.

But it is a big problem. Companies pay big bucks for endorsements...look at the backlash from announcers calling the MS Surface an 'iPad' after MS shelled out almost half a billion for exclusivity. If the NFL doesn't uphold the terms of those deals, they can lose the contract and/or be sued for violation. And we all know the last thing the NFL wants is to not be profiting heavily at all times from multiple sources of revenue.

Ask Jim McMahon from nearly 30 years ago.

At the risk of me sounding like a jerkoff...........Oh well, I really don't give 2 squirts if the NFL is profitable or not. I am NOT a fan of the NFL, I am a fan of the Seattle Seahawks, period!

I couldn't care any less about their revenue sources and or product placement.

Their focus should be the integrity of the game instead of all that other BS, along with manipulating rules (see expanding playoffs) to make the Dallas and Pissburg teams relevent again, and rules to help the offense out because fantasy football goobers like scoring. Let the sport stand on its on merit, and what happens, happens!

Hate to say it maybe Kap will now dress like an adult not a teen.

Not to worry, I'm sure he still has his Dolphin's gear.

They must have seen the inside of them and realized what a piece of shit they are. I tried to fix a set for a friend at work and it was a no go. I wouldn't pay $5.00 for pair.

To his credit, looks like a douche without Beats. Or clothes.

Business as usual

Beats and Bose are for poseurs who care more about image than build or sound quality.

Go do some vigorous exercise in pouring rain and high wind with these: http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/sho ... es_samsung

Then get back to me on their build quality. In fact, just put them in your ears and then tilt your head to the side and shake your head as hard as possible, purposely trying to make them fall out. Bose audio products are too heavy on bass for my personal preference, but they have created the perfect physical earbud design that stays in no matter what while being comfortable for hours and hours.

Absolutely nothing, and I'm not affiliated with Bose in any way. I just like to pimp a product that is truly great in some meaningful way; and while the sound quality is, as I said, too bass-heavy for my liking, their physical earbud design really is THAT GOOD. I wasted quite a bit of time and money trying out numerous competing products before coming across the original version of those a couple years ago.

The vast majority of people in this world only get really motivated to tell other people about negative experiences with products. I try to do it for seriously negative AND seriously positive product experiences...Don't be a hater. For the record, I literally own nothing from Bose besides their earbuds.
