Business Battles | Monster vs Beats by Dre | 1

With all the hype around portable and smart speakers, it’s easy to forget that they didn’t always exist.

In this one-episode Business Battle, we explore the time when headphones became fashion, what it takes to get people to shell out $350 for a pair, and what happens when a million dollar mistake becomes a billion dollar mistake.
