Dear Apple, Please Bring Back The Studio 2’s
Apple is one of the largest conglomerates in the world. They have a strangle hold on the cellular manufacturing industry and have a great many other electronic products that dominate the market. Music is one of the greatest aspects of living in this world. I haven’t met a human alive who is fond of it. So, when apple acquired “Beats By Dre” in 2014, I was very skeptical. Full disclosure, everyone knows large corporations are bad, but we believe Apple to be by far, the worst. We believe Apple does a great marketing inferior products that are engineered for obsolescence. That being said, when Apple acquired Beats, I was not happy. However, when they released the 1st few versions of the Beats studio headphones, I can’t lie, I was impressed. The sound quality, and not to mention, the bass made them the hottest headphones on the market.
Memories Of Beats Before Apple
The original Beats Studio’s were good, but the Studio 2’s were immaculate. I still remember the 1st day I brought home my gloss white studio 2’s. I had gotten them on sale for black Friday, I remember I couldn’t afford to pay full price for them so I’d saved up all year for that one night, got to best buy thanksgiving night and got the last white pair. It was straight out of a fucking holiday story. I went straight home, unwrapped the plastic and didn’t even bother to read the instructions. I plugged the aux cable into my headphones, watched the lights come on then plugged it in to my phone, turned the volume up all the way, then spent the next 4 hours laying in my bed listening to my entire playlist with no care for the outside world. That memory, I will cherish always.
Now
I say all that to say this, the Studio 3’s do not make me feel that same rush. After my Studio 2’s broke, I bought them a few years ago expecting an upgrade and I was woefully disappointed. The signature bass I had come to expect from the headphones weren’t there, and the overall experience made me feel like I had bought a product that trying to be something it wasn’t. As a loyal “Beats” customer, I do not want you to change the foundational principles of why I loved the product, I just want you to improve on what was already there, and these didn’t do that. With that being said, “I beg and I plead, but today I am still just a bill”. But seriously, please re-release the Studio 2’s, my perception of music is just not the same without them. Peace!
