Apple didn't buy Beats for the headphones. As others have stated it's cheap crap.
This is what Apple was after: http://www.beatsmusic.com/
Whether or not this is true, there is a LOT of money to be made by Apple by selling beats headphones. Just sayin'.
If in fact Apple only wanted the streaming music portion, I assume they could have easily purchased only that. Considering how much money beats makes from selling headphones, it doesn't make any sense that the former owners of the company would sell the headphone portion of the business and forgo that revenue stream if Apple didn't want the headphones.
Bottom line: Apple wanted the whole ball of wax, for whatever reason.
