... Isn't Spotify free? I like free. I know that beats music isn't free. And meanwhile I just use Nokia mixradio and skip all of the other streaming services. If I didn't have a Nokia Lumia and didn't have the option of mixradio, I know id rather use the free one, especially since its basically all the same music. (I love mixradio. Awesome streaming service only on Nokia phones.) my point is that beats music imo isnt going to threaten any of the other services. Compete yes, threaten no... Unless beats music becomes free that is.Apple clearly didn't buy Beats for their sound engineers so why would they want Bose? Besides, Bose already works very closely with Apple and is always a featured partner. They don't need to buy Bose and Bose doesn't need to sell. Apple already owns the same demographic as Bose so again, what would they gain by purchasing them?
Apple mostly owns the music industry but they don't have anything in streaming and studios are loath to give them the licenses. That's where Beasts comes in. They have a number of licensing agreements with major labels already and through their purchase Apple now has them, too. I don't think any headphone companies we worried when Apple bought Beats but I bet Spotify was.
