(Robert) Brunner's Beats

By Rain Noe - January 8, 2008

The design industry has produced its share of strange bedfellows, but a collaboration between Robert Brunner and Dr. Dre has to be one of the most unexpected we've seen. The Kindle designer and the hip hop producer have teamed up to design a set of headphones called Beats. Says Dr. Dre, according to the press release, "When I'm making a track I'm trying to capture the sound that makes me go 'now THAT's the shit!'"

Must have been one interesting design brief. If only Jeff Bezos had been as passionate in his directions for the Kindle.

How can you tell how these function? I can't tell anything from the pictures. I kind of makes you seem quite dodgy making comments like this.

This is just as non-functional and senseless as Kindle. Tasteless. I don't see Dr. Dre wearing it. It doesn't fit his style. Did the designer really do it for Dre? or just whoever?

Didn't Robert / Pentagram get into a law suit because Dr. Dre was not happy about it? And that headset doesn't have a rotatable ear muffs? What kind of lame headset is it?
