Ugh...Beats - it's an appropriate name for what I want to do with the person's head who bought those idiot headphones. These people have no interest in headphones at all - then Dr. Dre says "Yo buy my headphones dawg" and now people are like Oh man Dr. Dre said they are good so I better buy 'em - how much? $300? Here you go! WHAT!? I've seen SOOO many people using stock apple earbuds...and you mean there are people who will dump tons of money without ANY research based on name and endorsement...every person I see with Beats makes me lose faith in humanity (As if I had much anyway).
When I wear my ATH-M50's around campus I frown disapprovingly at anyone wearing Bose or Beats (The only two I usually see). Why these people will pay $300 when $100 headphones sound better I don't know, it just amazes me how much they won't even research things. It really makes me disapprove even more because they bought them on a whim (And $300 is not "on a whim" kind of money). I've thought about getting a shirt that says "Your headphones suck" on it, but I'm not the type to wear such things. And besides, I have seen a handful of people with good headphones though. Someone had some nice Denon headphones and I saw a pair of AKGs. I heard a guy tell his buddy after one dude got off the bus wearing Beats "Yeah maybe you can trade your headphones in on some Beats!" and his friend replies "Why would I do that?" and he says "Because they have good bass!" and he replies "No, they're boomy - I like good imaging and my headphones cost less and sound better!" I just about turned to this guy and said "THANK YOU FOR NOT BEING BRAINWASHED LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!" Such a revelation when you hear someone smart in a sea of stupid people. But to be honest I think most college age people don't know soundquality if it smacked them in the face. Bose and Beats are top end to them...BLECH
