How does this help students? Do you know what students don't have... MONEY. They need discounts, not free swag.

No student will complain about free beats headphones. I have a pair from last years promotion and I love them.

Remember when free iPod touch was offered?
Feels like it's getting worse and worse.
Next year they will replace free pair of beats with free lightning to 3.5 jack adapter, lol

These beats headphones are in addition to the already applied student discounts.

The free swag is on top of Apple's student discount. If you go to any U.S. campus they are chock full of MacBook variants. Students may not be rolling in $ but just about every student needs a laptop. Many prefer Macs so this is a bonus.

Beats headphones are so low in build quality, design and sound overall... I can't believe Apple is trying to shove these atrocities upon us, truly disappointing.
That may be your opinion, but I can tell you from my experience that the beats headphones I got last year are very good in build quality and sound reproduction. I was a studio engineer for many years, and even though there are better headphones than beats, they are pretty good, and a no brainer if they are free. I heard over and over last year that beats were terrible and I was surprised to find out how good they actually were. If you don't want them, give them away.
