MLB unveils limited edition Beats headphones featuring five teams

For the baseball fan who has to rep their favorite team on everything, even their headphones, comes this: a limited-edition line of headphones that's a collaboration between Beats By Dr. Dre and MLB.

The baseball logo-emblazoned Beats were announced Tuesday, featuring five teams plus a set decorated in honor of this year's All-Star game in Cincinnati. The teams aren't surprising, considering what we know about market size and merchandise popularity. The five teams picked are the ones that sell best: the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants. The All-Star version is available now. The others are available for pre-order. Here's a look:

About 1,000 total pieces are available of the six designs, so they probably shouldn't last too long. The limited-edition nature of these and the team-specific designs have MLB and Beats thinking demand will be high, with fans willing to pay top dollar. The headphones sell for $379.99, which is the same amount as the standard Beats Studio Wireless model. Head over to MLB.com/BeatsByDrDre for ordering info.

This is said to be the first partnership between Beats and a pro sports league. The NBA has a deal for team-branded headphones with JBL, but they don't look as slick as these.
