But you have no idea how embarrassing it was for me the other day when I was in a local store kindly asking to try some schiit......

I get a kick out of it. A few weeks ago I asked a local hi-fi store if they carried any replacement schiit tubes. they thought I was kidding at first

edit: akhh, some more dr.dre nonsensery!

They were $499. The vendor at Amazon uses a false list price, $4,999, to try to make the discount seem bigger!

This is what I was talking about a few pages back. I've seen half a dozen of them being worn by athletes so far. Also saw two SOL and one Bose. I kinda hoped it was the athletes's choices of headphones, but this article confirms what I doubted.

How can they get by with such insulting marketing tactics? It seems like, again, they slid trough the first loophole they found. And they're not even being subtle about it. Still the crowd blindly falls for it, and will probably use this to reinforce their view that beats are the best headphones ever. "Cause if all the athletes use them, it's obviously because they're the best!"

Who the heck is Dr. Dre anyway   

If it said, "Beats by Beatles" then perhaps maybe I would consider it

Customs aren't exactly cheap, you know. His friend got those headphones for free. Who wouldn't want free headphones like these?

He's a professional musician with a lot of experience working with some of the most well known names in hip-hop. Of course they're going to worth it. They're popular for a reason. Crystal clear vocals, deep, punchy bass, sparkling highs, forward mids. Beats bring everything to the table in one stylish package. Goes well with my Macbook Pro Beats Edition too"

I can't tell if he's serious...

..........since when did they make a Macbook Pro Beats Edition?

Probably a "Limited" edition

(obviously there's something wrong with this guy since he says Dre is a professional musician? )

You obviously need to re-calibrate your troll-detector.
