Beats Pro Review!l - Page 9

This isn't the usual Beats-bashing (although I love that sport). The OP doesn't need someone telling him the Pros aren't the greatest thing ever, he needs opinion on his intended upgrade.

Never has a headphone that reaches the recognizability of ibud. So essentially, you are paying $400 so people know you can drop $400 on headphones. SQ vs price is always relative. Difference between Pros and HD800 is price tier. $400 may be expensive for those who can kind of afford it. $1000 is not expensive for the others who can afford it. People have different demand and usage at these price levels.

Head-fi has it's own values... mostly.

I am feel so guilty for bumping this thread.

I will go put on my Z1000 now...

I use my beats pros as a way to convince people there is better options.

i kinda wanna buy pink beats just for the looks. but ill probably just buy hd 600s with that money instead

i still wonder how beats  sound off a WA6SE with my dac.....

After many years scientists have come up with the perfect product description to sell beats.

Bump?

Oh how I love a nice long thread. Made for a good read. 

I am going to chime in and say that I do enjoy my Beats Pro very much. I have listened to other brands and I can say that yes, there are others that sound better than the Pros. HOWEVER, for my music tastes and listening preferences, I thoroughly enjoy my Beats Pro and the sound they produce. I had the Studios first and returned them because of the build quality and over emphasis on bass. They also leaked more than I liked. I then tested out a friend of mine who had the Pros and after offering him a six pack to let me borrow them for a week for a test drive, I was able to give them a good run through. And I was impressed. Compared to the Studios I was really quite pleased. After my week long period with them I bought my own. And I did not pay 400+ for them. I paid 250 via the Monster Outlet Store. I believe that price was more in line with what they should cost.

What irks me is when I read that people generalize us Beats wearers are those who want to show off to the world "HEY! Look at me! I am wearing Beats! And you KNOW they cost a truck load of money! Weeeee!" Maybe some do, in fact I know some do. I work for a major airline and see 700 plus people a day. Many have Beats and many clearly just dont care about what kind of sound they are getting. They wear them for style (which is something that I dont hold against a user). Some people like to coordinate their outfits and style with other accessories. More power to them. 

Then you come across a user like me who happens to LIKE what the Beats Pro supply me and I get classified under someone who is out there to show others that I am hot **** because of the headphones I am wearing...Ugh.

Either way this who Beats debate will never die. I leave ya'll with what I usually share with my cellphone forum buddies. To each his/her own. If you like em, enjoy em.

The Beats Pro I listened to sounded pretty nice, I just thought they didn't sound as good as others in the same price range. But of course we all have different ears, so I'm sure some will have the opinion that they're better.

denon d2000 better imo

I have to say first off that I don't like Beats every time I have auditioned the headphones I have been underwhelmed with them BUT I don't listen to music that most Beats users do.

For the people that say Beats are the best without trying anything else I have no more sympathy or respect for than the people that blindly antagonize happy Beats users would are humble enough.

Yea, like beats pro are also a ideal headphone for drummers, as they've got some pretty decent passive noise cancellation, and they're really durable so it would mind if the stick hit them (i've done that in many occasions).
