 The Beats by Dre headphones have been getting a lot of attention lately form music lovers around the world for their sleek look, exceptionally high quality sound and noise cancelling capabilities. For a limited time “Daily Winner Alerts” is offering free beats headphones through their promotional sweepstakes.
To enter the drawing participants simply need to visit the participating beats by Dre website and provide their email address. No payment information is required to enter the drawing but participants must be at least 18 years of age.
The sweepstakes is in response to the unprecedented success the headphones have achieved since their initial release. The headphone’s signature is their crisp sound, which captures the subtleties usually lost with regular headphones. "People aren't hearing all the music,” says Dr. Dre. “Artists and producers work hard in the studio perfecting their sound. But people can't really hear it with normal headphones. Most headphones can't handle the bass, the detail, the dynamics. Bottom line, the music doesn't move you. With Beats, people are going to hear what the artists hear, and listen to the music the way they should: the way I do."
The free beats headphones retail for $350 and the sweepstakes is expected to draw considerable attention before its quick closing. “Getting in early is key,” says Dan Jacobs of Corporate Marketing. “There is a small window there so if you can get in before it shuts you have a good chance of being selected. Spots are purposely limited to sweeten the pot.”

According to sources in the United Arab Emirates, the rapper sent members of his team to Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Doha, which is in Qatar, last week to look for potential filming and financing opportunities. Reportedly several local municipal officials and film companies are involved in a “heated bidding war” for work on the project. A source told the New York Observer, “In Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Doha all of the film initiatives are government controlled. A bidding war is going on between various government entities and private investors to fund the film. There’s pretty intense rivalry here between Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Qatar. They all want to claim the film as their own and take credit for generating the publicity.”
.
“He conceived the story, which is set in the Gulf,” the source noted. “It’s supposed to showcase the beauty of the region, a piece that’s culturally sensitive and embraces the customs and traditions of the region.”
 .
West has performed in the Middle East several times, including a recent gig with Jay-Z at a private party for one of the ruling sheikh’s family members. West apparently wants to offer an “authentic” depiction of the culture and may cast some of those royal family members, as “many of the Sheikhs like to be flashy and appreciate celebrity notoriety.”
.
West has not officially commented on the project yet, however West’s most recent tweet, from January 7, reads, “The world is our office.” That sounds like confirmation to us. |
