Seven years before apples bid to buy beats electronics, dr. Dre teamed up with a harbor form firm, monster, the design headphones. Yet it was to create a stylish accessory for mainstream consumers as well as Audio Quality fanatics. To create the perfect sound, monsters founder created profiles that serve as a baseline for beats products. Noel lee is with me now in the studio. Struck an years ago, deal to make headphones. Tell me how this came about. Jimmy was looking for Something Else to do. He wanted to do speakers prayed i said the new speaker is the headphone. People dont listen to speakers anymore. They are too big. At is how it started. That is how it started. I wanted to get into making the best headphone in the world. Dr. Dre used . 50 as they cent as ay soundboard. We have beats headphones with us today. What part of these headphones are you responsible for . New ones. Re the we didnt do any of that. Winds, we did everything. The engineering, the design, and the great thing about what we was what was it like working with them . Probably the most rewarding time ever. In my career. I was exposed to the music business, and to jimmy, who is a who isng genius, and dre a music icon ray begot to meet cool people. It was fantastic. What do you think of this deal . Is it surprising . It is a shock to everybody. We have the same questions everybody else has. What the final outcome is going to be. We would like to see it because audio, highquality sound, and valuation of what the company could be. How much are you getting . Like that. Zero. I wish we couldve participated more. We got the valuation out of it. Shining light on our technology. Before we shot the headphones, do you have any regrets about the deal that you struck with them . They actually, you parted ways in 2012. Theyhalf the company sold half the company to htc. Why do you think they did that . Jimmy told me, you build companies to keep them. I build companies to sell them. He is in a different mode than i am. Im an entrepreneur. I never took in any extra income. 35 years weve been in business. It is a passion for me. I never thought of selling my company. You are not upset about not getting a cut of this . No. It is not about the money. It is always about the sound quality in my passion for what is happening in the audio business. I have some regrets on the lack of recognition monster has withn after our split beats. I wish we couldve got more recognition. Being on the show, people dont know that monster designed the beats products. Lets take a look at the headphones you are making now. You are still in the game. Those are diamond. Stunning. What is so special about these . Weve gone on to new technologies. What i designed was five years old now. The new stuff is phenomenal. The sound quality, the dynamics, we call it pure monster sound. Music. Closer to the we are reinventing the game. Collaboration with James Lindsay on promoting that for the hiphop audience. This is our new technology. Last question. How do you view competition in the Headphone Industry question mark some dont like beats headphones . Industry. Mpetitive there is skullcandy. There are a ton of products. Beats, kids want to hear the base. They want to hear the bunch the punch. Some critics say it is overhyped. Listen to hiphop, maybe that is what you want to do. Monster sound is about clarity. With all of the competition, they have their own versions. Identified a competitor that can compete with either one. All right. Noel lee, thank you for joining us. Thank you. We will be right back. Welcome back. Im emily chang. We turn now to our wiring the world series. How technology is changing retail.

Others, neiman target got the attention for its massive attack. The Neiman Marcus one got nearly as much focus. There was a jump in the increase in the number of attacks. How much is a cost . The costs are all over the place. To stop and cheaper remediate the problem. One of the things we saw was the level of increase. A lot more money being spent by these companies. For the cost of companies predicted 5 billion. These are estimates. No one really knows how much is being spent behind the scenes. A lot of companies as well.
