You know what else is better than beats, everything else on this website. Studio Dj headphones, now that's hilarious. Sorry for being a jerk but you should try some more research on headphones, and stop wear beats if you want to join head-fi.

^ I find your opinion fairly funny too you know. The MDR-V6 and HD280 are great low-cost headphones, regardless of how they're marketed. The guy also owns Monster Turbines which are great in-ears (his Pro Copper's are even better) so he has some real quality references to compare to.
I don't see anything wrong with the guy buying Beats and coming to learn on his own that there are better options through headfi, that's what we're here for. If he like them for the purpose they serve and wants to keep them after paying that kind of money for them then he might as well enjoy them; it's his prerogative. Some headfiers have forgotten that people have the right to enjoy their own ****.

These "Beats" Dr. Dre Cans are just overhyped Marketing blah...they sound not really that good...but for the stylish generation,
it might fit...design over sound quality.
