Turn my music up in the headphones, Curtis. The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2011 kicked off yesterday in Vegas and Fif held a press conference to introduce his Sleek By 50 Cent headphones. The Wireless Hybrid platinum headphones will be released this year and will run you about $350.
i suppose all the 50 Cent stans will call this a ‘power move’. rofl
i like fif, but this will flop.
IF FIF THINKS PEOPLE WILL TRADE IN THERE BEATS BY DRE STUDIOS HE HAS LOST IT. THE ONLY OTHER HEADPHONES I USE ARE THE AVIATORS
why do niggas type with capslock on? like that will make people read it, get your brain out the gutter
I DONT MIND 50 BUT THE HATERS CAN KEEP HATING THIS NIGGA ONLY GETS RICHER
Kevin Harrington ? ohhh, you can’t imagine how serious this is.
More money and same Haters! I respect a REAL Hustler over a Blogger/Commenter anyday!
I guess bedding and home cleaning products are next..
I would assume this is a technology already created and 50 is merely attaching himself to horse already to leave the stable.. If so great.
If he’s investing significant bread in this, not so great.
And to all the Dre clones, the difference is… Dre owns the technology that goes into the headphones.. Very different business structure.
Dre got better beats.
50cents is an idiot! Who on earth will trade their beats by Dre/ diddy beats for this crab? Me neither
I’ll wait for this to be featured in the You Played Yourself section.
Right underneath the YN Blackout rant on people shouldn’t hate on Waka Flocka. SMH.
2011 is poppin’ off with a bang. Lol.
blood clot crying @Adam Shallah. FIF making POWER MOVES. Meanwhile U stuck in your parents basement like my son ZOOM ZOOM. If hating was a crime yall niggaz would be in jail SMH.
I may get one…after i try its quality of course!
Its funny how theses dudes say “DRE got the beat headphones”. When diddy and jay got there headphones yall didnt say shit.
R.I.P BEATS BY DRE VIDEO PRODUCT PLACEMENT.
50 is not the idiot… You mufuckas spending $300+ for headphones are idiots.. YOU niggas are crazy… LOL
Queens get the money, Haters make no moves. They hate year, after year, after year, and they still in the same position they were 4 years ago.
50! STOP WITH THIS BULLSHIT BUSINESS MOVES AND GET YOUR ASS BACK TO THAT STUDIO AND CLEAR YOUR NAME WITH A DECENT FUCKING ALBUM. WHAT WAS THAT? YOU CAN’T MAKE ANYTHING DECENT ANYMORE. FUCK YOU NIGGA!
These are better than Beats by Dre, read the specs, fuck niggaz.
@Shawn beats are made by monster you fuckin idiot “dre owns the technology” lol he probably couldnt do algebra how can could he possibly process the algorithms that go into electronics like that
once he doesnt make money with albums sales. for the haters this product is way better than dres beat ant it is wireless the only one on the market go and read their press release its crazy. these headphone will be a problem. that deal had 50cent a part owner in both companies(sleek and tv goods) and will be seating at their board. so haters keep hating 50 will keep winning
@ Money Mitch… No need for cyber thuggin this early Killa. Dre also struck a deal with HP.. Point is.. Monster is the vehicle, to my understanding, now if I’m wrong, correct me..No need for childish name calling. And Dre not being able to do algebra has no bearing on ownership. Creation and ownership are two different things. Just because you a own a oil well doesn’t mean you know how process oil into fuel.
im still with BEATS by dre….
@Shawn touché good point
I was just at engadget and these are some nice freaking headphones. They are hybrids wireless or wires. up to 60 feet with out wires and up tp 4 people can listen to the same audio from an mp3 player. that’s badazz. This shit is a generational leap from beats by dre.
SLEEK BY 50 CENT > G-NOTE RECORDS
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Sound quality wise beats by dre= sleek by 50 features wise sleek by 50>>>>>>>>>>>>
u niggas are stupid if u think this is gonna flop with the backing of a person who has a percentage on every cable brand in north america and shares in cbs
a drowning man clutches straws……fif u lost son..i wont buy that shit
Fuck the headphones,i have my BEATS.When i see 50cent in a suit talking in a buisness media conference like this i think,what the fuck is this nigga gonna rap about on his next album? He doesnt have any drama at all in his life anymore,thats why his music sucks now.Maybe he will rap about the cheap bullshit straight-to-dvd-movies he is doing
I am a 50 supporter but idk what to think about this. This swagger jacking. @ least Jay respected the came and made the Aviators look totally different with a completely different name, Beats by Dr. Dre versus Sleek by 50 Cent!? “C’mon Son!” *Ed Lover voice… Their design look like a dang spinoff! Smh!!! I do NOT seeing this flying over. The wireless thing may the only thing that saves face but Beats by Dr. Dre are Jordans of earphones now.
technically better headphones than Dre’s….but no way they’ll hit the market as hard…. $350!??! GTFOH
don’t be mad cause ya’ll sit at your computer all day and nobody wants to do business with you!!!! then you wonder why they hate!!!!! spend a little more time worrying about your own grip instead of trying to give business advice from your mothers computer………
@Shawn
I thought spending 300 on headphones was crazy until my friend let me borrow them and I was like DAMN! I still wouldnt buy me some, but I understand why people do it now them bitches clear as shit.
Dr. Dre, Diddy, Lady Gaga, Ludacris, and now 50 Cent have headphones. Dre has a laptop. Luda and Diddy both have their own liquor. Jay-Z and Eminem have a limited edition video game. Jay has a nightclub. Luda has a resturant. 50 Cent and Vitamin Water will forever be bounded together as far as I’m concerned. …
… Rap sure has come a long way from simply pushing Adiddas shoes.
Gotta test’em to know the quality, you niggas just hatin for the sake of hatin. Beats by Dre are dope, but regular niggas aint spending $350 on a pair of fuckin headphones. Especially with how easy them shits break. We’ll see if this was a good move when they drop.
Dr Dre’s headphones R not even da best. Bose Quiet Comfort 15 now those R true headphones. So if 50 can put out a better or same quality it will surpass Dr Dre’s no matter WHAT.
Let me Guess….
$500 a pair!?
GET BACK TO RAP YOU DR. DRE’ IN TOO MUCH!!!!!
For the people saying it will flop….I think you should have a look at who is behind the headphones, that is the company behind it, and the man behind it.
One of the most powerful men in the world who has a big share in almost every TV and cable deal in North America. And HE decided to get 50 Cent on this.
50 Cent received 7 million upfront for this. He now has a share on its profits. There is no losing.
$350??? Ha! Who would buy that?
these headphones dont focus on hq quality or go after high class or the broke trying to be high class niche. u know who Kevin Harrington is? if these are focused on the middle class and get that tv spot, there’s no limit on how much can be made. remember they are wireless and not bluetooth something new, which means the middle class will eat them up even without 50’s name, he just adds to the success.
Are you in it for the MONEY? Or in it for the Love?
No originality. No art. That has always been 50’s Achilles heel. Gettin money only impresses me so far (What up P. Miller!). Am I hatin? Maybe. I love 50 though and so I’ve always been very critical about his moves.
Hate goes on
key to business is innovation. this how product sells. if some of you ignants would went to school u will know.
50 innovate the concept. people would love wireless phones. this will do well with ads etc…

all you people that are hatin, saying Dr. Dre’s beats are better, you all are just jealous because something new and BETTER came out. so all you guys are whining and stuff cause you wasted your money on beats and 50 came out with these and you don’t wanna feel dumb and admit 50’s headphones are better.
you guys just hatin
