Now that we've mass marketed cool, everyone can be a 2chill4u rear end in a top hat with a pair of beats and some wayfarers. You can see these dupes from a mile away, their head smugly tilted back while a pair of $400 overpriced plastic headphones clings to their skulls. Seriously, the bass is not that great, the plastic band easily breaks, and it sounds like you taped some running earbuds inside a waterbottle. fuckin get some sennheisers, or is that too much research in the hummingbird mind of a beats buyer?

They literally have mirrors in the headphone dept. of a major electronics franchise in Australia. This was not there until Beats existed. gently caress Beats.

Beats suck. I don't understand the dumbasses that buy it. Instead I spent $104 on Amazon on some V-Moda headphones that kick rear end, look amazing, sound great, and are tested to aerospace engineering standards and use materials from space age poo poo. It is great. Do a google image search. I dare you. Buy from Amazon. It is like aural sex in headphone form.

Yeah OP i feel you. I'm a music producer as well as a music and film nut with ridiculously sensitive hearing. Basically i'm a total autismal bitch when it comes to sound quality, and I have been through all kindsa headphones, from cheap crap to stupidly expensive. What i use now are far and away the best headphones I have ever encountered. Look at the price, too: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-MDR-V150-Headphones-Reversible-Monitoring/dp/B00005QBU9

dre sold his share in beats to apple. they also don't release the meaningful specs like you'd normally get with a pair of $400 headphones which isn't surprising because they sound the same or worse than headphones in the $30 range. last time i saw a chart of their response time the highs were poo poo. the whole thing was started by jimmy iovine and dre as a way to reduce piracy because i guess they were gonna convince people that you can't pirate high quality digital music or something so it would sound like poo poo in their totally high quality headphones. they ended up becoming a trend though so dre is getting rich as gently caress from selling off his stock. if you think dre actually uses them or any pair in the studio that cost under a grand though then lol.

beats are the only headphones you can wear in society that make you look like a poser, which is better than all the others which either make you look like a rich twat (sennheisers) or a nerd (every other pair of headphones ever).
