I used to trust Consumer Reports on my electronics purchases and always felt like I was making smart decisions based on their recommendations. I recently decided to look up and see what they say on headphones. I was really surprised at what I saw. They were recommending audiophile headphones but it looked like an advertising leaflet for Beats. The name Beyerdynamic didn't appear anywhere on their lists and the occasional decent recommendations always took a back seat to the Beats Solo, Studio and whatever Dr. Dre inspired gem they had.
And they claim these recommendations came after they bought a bunch of headphones, tested them and chose the best among them, based on sound quality.
Am I being unreasonable for losing my trust in Consumer Reports?
