There appears to be some convergence happening in the world of Andre Young. As previously reported on Nodfactor.com, Dre Dre has developed a pair of headphones with the Monster Cable company called “Beats By Dr. Dre.” The professional quality headsets are now available at Best Buy, the Apple Store and online at www.beatsbydre.com. The ear candy retails for $350. “They definitely get across what my music should sound like,” Dre told USA Today.

Dre has also set a tentative date for the release of Detox. Finally feeling like the CD is near completion he anticipates releasing in time for the holidays.

“I’m just now — over the last couple of months — starting to feel that it’s going to be right and it’s something I can be proud of, and everybody is going to love it,” says Dr. Dre. “In a perfect world, I’m shooting for a November or December release.”

But just when you think things are looking up there’s always some drama to deal with. A young lady that bares a striking resemblance to the Good Dr. claims to be his daughter and has released a video on Youtube called “Daddy’s Shadow.” In the clip she rhymes over what sounds like a Dr. Dre instrumental and claims that “You tell me you don’t want me to rap but you out here helping everybody else…”

Monster, the popular audio peripheral manufacturer has teamed up with legendary music producer Dr. Dre to create a line of headphones called “Beats By Dr. Dre.” In development for over two years, Beats feature newly developed driver technology by Monster Cable and tuned by Head Monster Noel Lee and Dr. Dre themselves.

“People aren’t hearing all the music. Artists and producers work hard in the studio, perfecting their sound. But people can’t really hear it with normal headphones,” says Dr. Dre. “Most headphones can’t handle the bass, the detail, the dynamics. Bottom line: the music doesn’t move you. With Beats, people are going to hear what the artists hear and listen to the music the way they should: the way I do.”

Monster’s Beats by Dr. Dre advanced technology headphones deliver a true “high-definition” music listening experience, with all the highs, clarity, power, and most importantly, deep bass that is only paralleled by a big speaker studio system. A push-to-listen Mute button and folding design adds to the flexibility and convenience.

Scheduled to launch at the end of June, Beats by Dr. Dre headphones not only represents a major step forward in sound, and but also a major innovation in design for today’s style conscious electronic consumer.
