Apple on Wednesday confirmed it's buying Beats for $3 billion, giving the electronics giant a popular headphones business and subscription streaming music.
The company said Beats co-founders Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre will join Apple.
"Music is such an important part of all of our lives and holds a special place within our hearts at Apple," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement. "That's why we have kept investing in music and are bringing together these extraordinary teams so we can continue to create the most innovative music products and services in the world."
