Product placement in Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce “Telephone” music video
Everyone is talking about Lady Gaga’s recently premiered video “Telephone”, featuring Beyonce. It is absolutely fabulous, mind-bending, and also revealing of what the two ladies love and endorse. This 9:32 minutes of video is saturated with blatant product placement. So here are some products they nod to:
♥ Lady Gaga Heartbeats In-Ear Headphones in Bright Chrome ($99.95 excluding tax and shipping)
Seen around 1:34 in the video on one of the inmates.
These high definition headphones claims to accurately replicate the sound of aprofessional recording studio, that precisely captures clear vocals, deep full bass, punchy drums, and the natural harmonics of each musical instrument. Developed by Jimmy Lovine and Dr. Dre, these headphones are a little pricey, but definitely worth the investment, especially if you’re an avid music listener. The Lady Gaga twist to these headphones are a plus, and are bound to turn heads and attract admirers. Comes in Rose Red, Dark Chrome, and Bright Chrome.
