SO.... you judged a headphone's sound quality which had one blown driver and excessively loud volume? AND you thought it was bad... =/ gg
That part was mostly to poke fun at a display designed to be selling these things to the public. It's like if you went to the ford dealership and the mustang on the showroom floor had two blown tires and the horn was stuck on.
Aside from that, yes, the audio quality was terrible, as I specified. I was familiar with the song enough to identify it, but the audio quality was so horrible that I wouldn't have known even what band (or hell, possibly even genre) it was if I wasn't familiar with the song. The excessive loose bass and ear piercing treble completely washed out anything and everything inbetween.
My wife described them as "It was actually painful to wear those. The sound quality hurt my ears. I didn't expect them to be so bad."
Perhaps these are the worst individual pair of Beats ever. Perhaps this pair represented the bottom 1% of units ever produced. If so, shouldn't somebody take them off the display?
And even more amazing that nobody thought to take those headphones off the demo display, is that people listen to those and somehow still purchase the product?
All I know is, I'd be asking the Ford salesman "Uh, are they all like this? And is this the kind of quality I can expect from your products?"
