Special Edition Beatsbydre Hello Kitty Headphone & Earbuds

Beatsbydre, now a subsidiary of Apple, released special edition Hello Kitty headphones, last fall. While the headphones are quite expensive and slightly hard to find, online from third-party sellers, the earbuds are still readily available from the original merchant¹. Beats audio devices are often criticized for being marketing ploys -instead of being reputable for their quality-, but the design of these Beats HK editions are super awesome!

 These earbuds also come with their own carrying pouch.

So, they look awesome, but I can't account for the quality, versus brand [insert here] -at a comparable price-, however, if you look at some other common Hello Kitty audio devices, such as Target's headphones, I would opt for the Beats.

I do not own any Beats audioware, but friends enjoy them, and I have had positive in-store tests.
