GD&TOP’s headphones are not authorized products in the Dr. Dre line?

Hardcore fans and fashionistas alike have dented their wallets in order to purchase the ‘GD&TOPedition’ of “Beats by Dre“ headphones. Many were prepared to pay extravagantly for the product, unfortunately, the ‘GD&TOP’ edition of “Beats” may not be the real thing.

We were recently contacted by a representative from Monster Cable (the manufacturer of “Beats”), notifying us that GD&TOP’s headphones are “not authorized products in the Dr. Dre line.” Our contact further clarifies, “It is unclear at this time if they are authentic Beats headphones that have been customized with GD&TOP artwork, or if they are counterfeit products making unauthorized use of Beats logos and design.”

The staff on the “Beats By Dre” official Twitter account have further asserted that GD&TOP’s headphones “are NOT an authorized product and does not come with our warranty or support.”

EDIT: beatsbydre twitted “They have customized the headphones which voids the original warranty when they resell them [TS]“
Basically these headphones might be original or customized beat headphones, they’re not sure yet, but what they know is that since YG customized them that voids the warranty contract of the product with Beats so you don’t have warranty with Beats if they get ruined.
