That’s thanks to a gift from receiver Chad Ochocinco, who is participating in the first Super Bowl in his career.
The Boston Herald reports that Ochocinco dropped around $28,000 on Beats by Dre Headphones for every member of the team. The headphones, widely regarded as the best in the industry, were designed by rapper Dr. Dre. The version Ochocinco picked out for the team produce a “clean, yet forceful sound.”
Can someone get this man a copy of the latest GQ.
He obviously hasn’t read the piece on Terrell Owens

Don’t player hate
I actually love Ocho being on the Pats. I only hope he can be as corrosive as Randy Moss was before him. (Randy was on the 2008 Pats, if you recall).
But seriously, this Beats thing? I’m betting it was a publicity stunt and that he didn’t have to pay anything for the ‘phones, thanks to this fluff piece making the papers.
A long time ago I worked for the biggest PR agency in the land, and one thing you learn is that a well placed media mention is worth even more than a Superbowl ad.
