Beats Electronics, LLC is a producer of audio products and equipment headquartered in Santa Monica, California. The company was founded by hip-hop/rap artist and entrepreneur Andre “Dr. Dre” Young and Interscope-Geffen-A&M Records chairman Jimmy Iovine, and primarily produces products under the brand Beats by Dr. Dre.
Since its inception, its products have been primarily manufactured and developed in collaboration with consumer electronics company Monster Cable. The collaboration has led to financial success for both companies — Beats headphones accounted for 53% of the monetary value of the headphones market in the year 2011, and has also led to competition from other headphone brands seeking similar celebrity endorsements.
The company is currently majority owned by HTC Corporation. Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine and Universal Music Group all own minority shares in Beats.
