    What is going on with Beats?

    The leaks about new Beats are unusual. Beats Studio Buds Plus are in between 2 products. Beats Studio Buds, and Beats Fit Pro. The idea of some new Beats Studio Pro headphones makes sense. I think there will be multiple new headphones in the next 2 years. (This is not a leak.) However, most of...
