List of average Human height worldwide - wikipedia List of average Human height worldwide Jump to : navigation , search Below are average adult human heights by country or geographical region . The original studies and sources should be consulted for details on methodology and the exact populations measured , surveyed , or considered . As with any statistical data , the accuracy of such data may be questionable for various reasons : Some studies may allow subjects to self - report values . Generally speaking , self - reported height tends to be taller than its measured height , although the overestimation of height depends on the reporting subject 's height , age , gender and region . Test subjects may have been invited instead of chosen at random , resulting in sampling bias . Some countries may have significant height gaps between different regions . For instance , one survey shows there is 10.8 cm ( 4 ⁄ in ) gap between the tallest state and the shortest state in Germany . Under such circumstances , the mean height may not represent the total population unless sample subjects are appropriately taken from all regions with using weighted average of the different regional groups . Different social groups can show different mean height . According to a study in France , executives and professionals are 2.6 cm ( 1 in ) taller , and university students are 2.55 cm ( 1 in ) taller than the national average . As this case shows , data taken from a particular social group may not represent a total population in some countries . A relatively small sample of the population may have been measured , which makes it uncertain whether this sample accurately represents the entire population . The height of persons can vary over the course of a day , due to factors such as a height decrease from exercise done directly before measurement ( i.e. inversely correlated ) , or a height increase since lying down for a significant period of time ( i.e. positively correlated ) . For example , one study revealed a mean decrease of 1.54 centimetres ( 0.61 in ) in the heights of 100 children from getting out of bed in the morning to between 4 and 5 p.m. that same day . Such factors may not have been controlled in some of the studies . Data is representative of the majority of the country or region 's adult population .

It can be seen that the image is formed by actual light rays and thus can form a visible image on a screen placed at the position of the image . Producing a real image . Each region of the detector or retina indicates the light produced by a corresponding region of the object . In optics , a real image is an image which is located in the plane of convergence for the light rays that originate from a given object . If a screen is placed in the plane of a real image the image will generally become visible on the screen . Examples of real images include the image seen on a cinema screen ( the source being the projector ) , the image produced on a detector in the rear of a camera , and the image produced on an eyeball retina ( the camera and eye focus light through an internal convex lens ) . In ray diagrams ( such as the images on the right ) , real rays of light are always represented by full , solid lines ; perceived or extrapolated rays of light are represented by dashed lines . A real image occurs where rays converge , whereas a virtual image occurs where rays only appear to converge . Real images can be produced by concave mirrors and converging lenses , only if the object is placed further away from the mirror / lens than the focal point and this real image is inverted . As the object approaches the focal point the image approaches infinity , and when the object passes the focal point the image becomes virtual and is not inverted .

Beats Electronics - wikipedia Beats Electronics Jump to : navigation , search Beats Electronics LLC Formerly called Beats by Dr. Dre Type Subsidiary Industry Audio Consumer electronics Founded 2006 ; 12 years ago ( 2006 ) Founders Andre `` Dr. Dre '' Young Jimmy Iovine Headquarters Cupertino , California , United States Area served Worldwide Key people Luke Wood ( President ) Matthew Costello ( COO ) will.i.am ( partner ) Noel Lee ( Inventor ) Products Headphones Bluetooth - enabled accessories Speakers Revenue US $ 1.5 billion ( 2013 ) Number of employees 700 ( As of 2014 ) Parent HTC ( 50.1 % ; 2010 -- 2012 , 24.84 % ; 2012 -- 2013 ) Apple Inc. ( 2014 -- present ) Website beatsbydre.com Beats Electronics ( formerly Beats by Dr. Dre , or simply Beats by Dre ) is a subsidiary of Apple Inc. that produces audio products . Headquartered in Culver City , California , U.S. , the company was founded by music producer and rapper Dr. Dre and former Interscope Geffen A&M Records chairman Jimmy Iovine . The subsidiary 's product line is primarily focused on headphones and speakers . The company 's original product line was manufactured in partnership with the AV equipment company Monster Cable Products . Following the end of its contract with the company , Beats took further development of its products in - house . In 2014 , the company expanded into the online music market with the launch of its subscription - based streaming service , Beats Music . In 2011 , NPD Group reported that Beats ' market share was 64 % in the U.S for headphones priced higher than $ 100 , and the brand was valued at US $1 billion in September 2013 . For a period , the company was majority - owned by Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC . The company reduced its stake to 25 % in 2012 , and sold its remaining stake back to the company in 2013 . Concurrently , Carlyle Group replaced HTC as a minority shareholder , alongside Dr. Dre and Iovine in late 2013 . On August 1 , 2014 , Apple Inc. acquired Beats for US $3 billion in a cash and stock deal , the largest acquisition in Apple 's history .

Iovine later recalled that Dre said to him : `` Man , it 's one thing that people steal my music . It 's another thing to destroy the feeling of what I 've worked on . '' Iovine sought the opinions of musicians with `` great taste '' , such as M.I.A. , Pharrell Williams , will.i.am , and Gwen Stefani during the early developmental stage . Beats initially partnered with Monster Cable , an audio and video component manufacturer based in Brisbane , California , to manufacture and develop the first Beats - branded products , and debuted its first product , Beats by Dr. Dre Studio headphones , in late 2008 . To promote its products , Beats primarily relied on endorsements by pop and hip - hop music performers , including product placement within music videos , and partnering with musicians and other celebrities to develop co-branded products . Beats ' use of endorsements by musicians helped the company aggressively target the young adult demographics . HTC purchase and non-renewal of Monster contract ( edit ) In August 2010 , mobile phone manufacturer HTC acquired a 50.1 % majority share in Beats for US $309 million . The purchase was intended to allow HTC to compete with other cellphone makers by associating themselves with the Beats brand , as the purchase also granted HTC exclusive rights to manufacture smartphones with Beats - branded audio systems . Despite its majority acquisition , HTC allowed Beats to operate as an autonomous company . Luke Wood , President of Beats in May 2014 , joined the company in January 2010 , when the company was a `` licensing business '' . Wood had previously worked under Iovine at Interscope Records . On January 19 , 2012 , BusinessWeek reported that Beats and Monster would not renew their production contract and their partnership ceased at the end of 2012 . Dre and Iovine subsequently decided to oversee the entire operation of the company , from manufacturing to R&D , and aimed to double its workforce to around 300 employees . Monster would ultimately begin marketing its own competing line of premium headphones aimed towards an older demographic . At the time , neither Dre , Iovine or Wood were experienced in the operation of a company at such a grand level , but Nani Wood explained in 2014 : I did n't have manufacturing experience , but I had experience of building something from scratch ... Every time we put out an album , it was basically like building a new business -- a unique cast of characters , unique challenges and opportunities , and trying to figure out a unique path to market . In October 2012 , Beats unveiled its first two self - developed products , `` Beats Executive '' headphones and `` Beats Pill '' wireless speakers -- Iovine believed that the company would now have to `` control ( its ) own destiny '' in order to continue its growth . Iovine also commented on how other headphone makers had attempted to emulate Beats ' celebrity endorsement business model ( including Monster themselves , who unveiled Earth , Wind and Fire and Miles Davis - themed headphones at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show ) , stating that `` some of our competitors are cheap engineers who have never been to a recording studio . You ca n't just stick someone 's name on a headphone that does n't know anything about sound . '' Following the decision to transform Beats into an autonomous entity , the company 's revenues reached the US $1 - billion mark , according to Iovine . HTC sale and Beats music ( edit ) In July 2012 , HTC sold back half of its stake in Beats for US $150 million , remaining the largest shareholder with 25.1 percent . The sale was intended to provide `` flexibility for global expansion while maintaining HTC 's major stake and commercial exclusivity in mobile . '' In August 2013 , reports surfaced that Beats ' founders planned to buy back HTC 's remaining minority stake in the company , and pursue a new , unspecified partner for a future investment . On September 27 , 2013 , HTC confirmed that it would sell its remaining 24.84 % stake in Beats back to the company for US $265 million . Concurrently , Beats announced that the Carlyle Group would make a US $500 million minority investment in the company . The overall deal valued Beats Electronics at US $1 billion and helped HTC turn a net profit of US $10.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 , following HTC 's first quarterly loss in company history . The appointment of a new chief operating officer ( COO ) , a role previously filled by Wood , was announced in early November 2013 . Matthew Costello , formerly of IKEA and HTC , was formally appointed into the role in May 2014 . On January 21 , 2014 , the company launched Beats Music , a subscription - based online music streaming service . Prior to the launch of the service , Beats stated that it intends to provide a different type of streaming experience to what was available on the market at the time . Additionally , the service would only be available to consumers in the U.S. at inception . Chief executive of Beats at the time , Ian Rogers , said : We wanted to build a music service that combined the freedom of an on - demand subscription service -- unlimited , uninterrupted streaming and downloads of tens of millions of songs -- but layer on top features that would give you that feeling only music that moves you can give . The right song at the right time will give you a chill . Make you pull someone close . Nod your head . Sing in the mirror . Roll down the car window and crank the volume to the right . Subsidiary of Apple ( 2014 -- present ) ( edit ) On May 8 , 2014 , the Financial Times reported that Apple was in negotiations with Beats to purchase the company for US $3.2 billion -- the largest purchase in Apple 's history , ahead of its US $429 million purchase of NeXT in 1996 . The impending deal was prematurely and indirectly revealed in a photo and YouTube video posted to Facebook by Tyrese Gibson on May 8 , 2014 ; the video documented a celebration in which Gibson and Dr. Dre made boasting remarks about the acquisition , with Dre declaring himself the `` first billionaire in hip hop '' , while Gibson declared that the `` Forbes list '' had changed . Both the photo and video were removed from Facebook the following morning , but both remain on Gibson 's YouTube channel . Indeed , analysts estimated that the rumored deal would make Dr. Dre the first billionaire in the hip - hop music industry in terms of net worth , assuming that he held at least 15 % ownership in the company prior to the deal . Dr. Dre was listed with a net worth of US $550 million on Forbes ' The World 's Billionaires 2014 list . It was also estimated that the Carlyle Group would receive a profit of US $1 billion from its minority stake in the company . On May 28 , 2014 , Apple officially announced its intention to acquire Beats Electronics for US $3 billion -- with $400 million to be paid in Apple stock and the remainder in cash . Some reports suggested that the reduction in value may have been a result of lower - than - expected subscriber numbers for the Beats Music service . Iovine felt that Beats had always `` belonged '' with Apple , as the company modeled itself after Apple 's `` unmatched ability to marry culture and technology . '' In regard to the deal , Apple CEO Tim Cook stated that `` Music is such an important part of all of our lives and holds a special place within our hearts at Apple . 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 . '' Beyond stocking Beats products at its retail outlets , Apple did not provide any further indications over how Beats would be integrated into its product line at the time , and whether Beats Music , which competed with Apple 's own iTunes Radio service , would continue to operate after the finalization of the acquisition . The acquisition closed on August 1 , 2014 ; to eliminate redundancy , Apple planned to lay off 200 workers from Beats ' workforce of around 700 . Beats Music was discontinued effective immediately with the launch of Apple Music on June 30 , 2015 . Bose lawsuit ( edit ) In July 2014 , Bose Corporation sued Beats Electronics , alleging that its `` Studio '' line incorporated noise cancellation technology that infringed five patents held by the company . Bose has also sought an injunction which would ban the infringing products from being imported or sold in the United States . The lawsuit was settled out of court . Apple pulled all Bose products from its retail outlets , although it is unclear whether it was in response to the lawsuit , an ambush marketing conflict involving Beats and the NFL ( which had recently named Bose as one of its official sponsors , and thus fined a player for displaying the Beats logo during an official activity ) , or as a result of Apple 's acquisition of Beats . However , two months later , Bose products returned to the shelves of Apple Stores . The companies settled in October 2014 : details were not disclosed . Monster lawsuit ( edit ) In January 2015 , Monster Inc. sued Beats for fraud , alleging that the company had used illicit tactics to force Monster out of the venture whilst retaining rights to the technologies and products that it had co-developed , and engaged in collusion to harm Monster 's own audio products business . Monster argued that the acquisition of Beats by HTC and its founders ' subsequent buyback was a `` sham '' to take control of Monster 's stake in the company -- which could have been valued at over $100 million in the Apple purchase , that the company had `` concealed '' the role of Monster and its CEO Noel Lee in the design and engineering of its products , and that `` had the partnership expired on its own terms , there would have been no transfer of Monster 's years of work ( onto the company ) . '' Monster also alleged that Beats had partaken in anti-competitive practices with retailers to force those offering Beats products to not offer Monster 's competing products . In June 2015 , the Wall Street Journal reported that in retaliation for the lawsuit , Apple Inc. revoked Monster 's membership in the MFi Program on May 5 , 2015 , meaning that Monster can no longer manufacture licensed accessories for iPhone , iPod and iPad products , and must cease the sale of existing licensed products that contain the certification or technology licensed through the program by September 2015 . The case was dismissed in August 2016 , with a Supreme Court ruling that Beats `` had the right to terminate the agreement as of January 7th , 2013 or when there was a transaction resulting in a change of control of Beats '' , and that Monster `` did not obtain the right to approve the change of control . Nor did the agreement require that any change of control had to be objectively reasonable '' . Products ( edit ) Personal audio ( edit ) Beats ' original product line were Beats by Dre headphones . In promotional materials , Dre outlined the line 's advantages by alleging that listeners were not able to hear `` all '' of the music with most headphones , and that Beats would allow people to `` hear what the artists hear , and listen to the music the way they should : the way I do . '' In comparison to most headphones , Beats products were characterized by an emphasis towards producing larger amounts of bass , and are particularly optimized towards hip - hop and pop music . In October 2012 , Beats unveiled its first two self - developed products , the Beats Executive noise - cancelling headphones ( to compete with similar offerings by Bose and Sennheiser ) and the Beats Pill portable speaker . In October 2015 , Beats launched a new collection of speakers including the upgraded Beats Pill+ Speaker . Beats audio ( edit ) The company has also licensed the Beats brand , under the name Beats Audio ( rendered beats audio ) , and technology to other manufacturers . In 2009 , HP began to offer personal computers equipped with Beats Audio systems , beginning with its HP Envy line . The system features a software equalizer with a preset that HP marketed as being optimized for higher quality sound output . Beats Electronics ceased its partnership with HP following its purchase by Apple Inc. ; HP subsequently entered into a similar agreement with Bang & Olufsen . Following its acquisition of a stake in the company , most new HTC smartphones began to be released with Beats Audio software , beginning with the HTC Sensation XE / XL with Beats Audio in September 2011 . The software was to be included in most new HTC devices , such as the One series . The Sensation XE and Rezound were also bundled with Beats by Dre earbuds , but HTC abandoned the practice on future devices . A HTC product executive claimed that despite the prominence of the Beats brand , `` an accessory like the headphone does n't factor in when someone is buying a smartphone . '' Car audio ( edit ) In 2011 , Beats reached a deal with Chrysler LLC to feature Beats - branded audio systems in its vehicles . The first vehicle under the partnership was its 2012 Chrysler 300S luxury vehicle , which included a 10 - speaker Beats by Dr. Dre sound system . Beats audio systems have also been included in models from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles ' other marques . FCA marques that currently have Beats audio systems available in its vehicles are Dodge , Chrysler , Jeep , and Fiat . Beats music ( edit ) Main article : Beats Music On July 2 , 2012 , Beats announced it had acquired the online music service MOG , in a purchase reported to have been between $10 million to $16 million . Beats stated that the acquisition was part of the company 's goal to develop a `` truly end - to - end music experience . '' The acquisition did not include the company 's blog and advertising network , the MOG Music Network , which was sold in a separate transaction to the broadcasting company Townsquare Media in August 2012 . While MOG indicated that it would continue to operate independently with no immediate change in service , Beats subsequently announced a new subscription - based online music service , known as Beats Music , which launched in January 2014 . In comparison to its competitors , such as Spotify and Google Play Music , the service emphasizes recommendations by music professionals alongside algorithmic recommendations . MOG was shut down on May 31 , 2014 , and existing users were directed to Beats Music . Beats Music was in turn replaced by Apple Music in June 2015 ; the service also incorporates a Beats - branded online radio station , Beats1 . Critical reception ( edit ) Some critics claim that Beats products emphasize appearance over quality and function , arguing that more durable and better - sounding products are available for the same price or lower . Tests done on an HTC smartphone with Beats Audio indicated that the audio technology is a combination of audio equalization that boosts the low ( bass ) and high ends of the audio range , audio compression , and audio amplification . On accusations that Beats ' products were `` bass heavy '' , Beats current president denies it , citing that their products are not for reference , but rather for playback .
