I like how it already has 19 bids on it. It probably started pretty low and some guy just jacked up the price.

Dead rechargeable batteries?

This is either the result of prank bidding, or proof of P.T. Barnum's most famous sentiment.
Let's see. Would I like to have a pair of good-sounding (or so I'm told) celebrity-endorsed phones, or would I prefer to take the same amount of money and buy one of Ray Samuels's better amps and a pair of truly great high-end phones? With change left over?
Or, since the cans on offer are used, let's compare apples to apples. Can you imagine what a judicious search for great used gear could turn up at that price?
The Internet does not make us stupid. It merely underlines how stupid we have always been.

You have to realize these are the special edition. They are so amazing that they must be plugged into an outlet.

It's prank. They do that to get on TV/News, see CNN picks it up.

Could it be these morons think the headphones were owned by Dr. Dre. The title seems a bit ambiguous: 'Beats By Dr. Dre'

Please. He has people for that. Aside from which, this guy is one of the highest-paid producers in music (deservedly so.) He doesn't need to pull minor-league nonsense like this to make a living.
