So, a company known for selling way overpriced things that are overpriced just because of their name is buying another company that does the same.

The circle of life.

Are those headphones with diamonds?

I don't understand about Beats by Dr Dre brand headphones. Why are they so expensive? What are they made out from? Gold and diamonds?

It's an established name, mostly.

So basically Apple but nowhere near as well-made.

they're made from hype

They look decent, they have brand recognition, and they sound far better than what their target market is used to. Sounds like a good fit for Apple, honestly.
