Beats EP Headphones?

Beats EP Headphones….or something else entirely?!

Updated 13 September at 14:50 GMT I was actually SORT of right all along….(you may have to read the sequence below to find out what I’m talking about) Updated 07 September at 14:50 GMT A lot of people have gotten to me to to say that the below headphones aren’t new, they are Will-i-Am earphones that have been available for months on the apple store and they aren’t beats. So I may have been a bit hasty in rushing this onto the interweb However, the fact is still that there is a trademark application from Beats for “Beats EP” which was published for opposition in the US yesterday. So, I’m wrong about them having anything to do with Will-i-Am it appears, but what are/is Beats EP then? I was also wrong about being exclusive (sorry, it’s been a long few days and I only had 3 hours sleep last night) Thanks to Mike, and MacRumours for setting me straight. http://domaingang.com/domain-news/apple-registers-beats-ep-domains-files-for-trademark/ Here’s what it’s registered for:
