That's assuming they are still available. Apple are known for buying successful companies (think Siri, Lala etc), taking some aspect of their technology, then stopping the sale of any products. In the case of Siri, they stopped the App and integrated it with the OS. In the case of Lala, they stopped the whole service and eventually launched iTunes Radio. Beats have a streaming service , together with the licences to stream music from a lot of record companies. Apple may be interested in those licences.

Far more "awful" than even the awfullest of Beats.
I don't buy the low end ones. Besides, even if I did, I would not have paid nearly as much as I would on a set of Beats. So, I'd be more inclined to think I'd got what I'd paid for rather than I'd been ripped off..
