Which do you prefer - Beats by Dre or SMS Audio? Competition results.
14 December 2015
In order to be in time for Christmas, this time we are announcing the results extremely quickly. We have been reading your answers over and over again, trying to identify the one, the only, the best. We have gone through all sorts of justifications, which, for the sake of simplicity, can be divided into:
- Onomatopoeic (try pronouncing the word out loud) - e.g. "umc umc umc umc trrr bang - did I win?".
- Free-form styles that would not have been shamed by a teenage Eminem writing on a bus heading to a Detroit factory.
- Blackmailing ('my son/boyfriend/roommate listens to terrible music, give him headphones so I don't have to listen with him').
- And the aforementioned "Dr Dre is better than 50 Cent, because..." or "50 Cent would spread Dr Dre on his shoulder blades, because he has a bigger boob".
To whom did the object of desire of thousands of participants finally go, the symbol of glamour on the town, a shiny piece of plastic with the power of a powerful bass hidden inside?
To Simon, who justified his answer thus:
Why Beats By Dre instead of SMS Audio by 50? It's simple: I'm choosing the product of a master who has survived three decades in the industry over the product of a disciple who has passed in a few years. Beats By Dre are more than headphones to a hip hop fan, they are a symbol of all the values that the culture carries: the struggle against the odds, the originality of style, the unique combination of aesthetics and sound. I'll be listening to carefully produced beats straight from Compton on these!
Simon will walk out from under his InPost Parcel Machine with the iconic Beats by Dre on his ears.
Respect, congratulations, the Winner will be contacted soon.... And to all those who didn't win this time, we invite you to the next competition. Be as persistent as Dre and as strong as 50!
