Diddy x Diddy Beats. Word around Interscope headquarters in Santa Monica is one of the big reasons Diddy was so excited to sign with Mr. Iovine and Interscope is because he was promised some of that “Beats by Dre” headphones action. Well apparently Iovine kept his word as Diddy revealed “Diddy Beats” ear buds and iPod speakers will be hitting stores next year all under the same Interscope/Dre x Monster partnership.

“We designed some ear buds called Diddy Beats that will be out next year,” Combs stated. “We also have an iPod speaker base for your house coming out. That experience as a whole was good, we (Dr. Dre) had a great chemistry with each other.”

No word yet on the tech specs of the ear buds or iPod speakers but it’s safe to say they will be close to Dre’s. Also interesting how Dre and Diddy are actually now working closely together considering the old school Bad Boy vs. Death Row days. Anyone excited for Diddy Beats headphones?
