I don't see what people are talking about here. Beats are a fashion statement. And even though many people here including me don't like the plastic look, I think very little people will deny that the beats laptops aswell as the pros are nice looking products. I've used basically all beats headphones. And I tell you the pros stand out as quality. Leather feels nice, the chrome is actually metal. I mean there's a lot to love if you forget about audio for a second. And to me yes audez-LCD-2s or jeckin floats or stax sr-007(especially these) look like the best thing in the world. But that's only because I know what they are, only because I know these are premium products with sound to match. Imagine if you had the same stereotype about beats(which most people do). You would like them just because they seem/are said to be premium. So I guess that justifies why people buy them.
And please don't get me started on: for the audio quality they aren't worth the price. Neither is a painting, or a sculpture or a watch for that matter. You pay for the style, thats just the way it is. I bet a watchmaker will tell me: you payed 120euros for that crap???
Perhaps, you're taking some of what is mentioned here too seriously. A lot of us are not replying to the thread to bash on the Beats. We're here to have some fun.
