This post was very ignorant. Sorry for that.

As much as people bash Beats, I think they're a welcome addition to the industry. Why? Because people no longer think spending a few hundred dollars for headphones is crazy. After the iPod came out, people refused to buy full-size headphones at all because earbuds were the rage. Further, no one wanted to even pay for headphones because the free ones that came with your .mp3 player were good enough. Now, consumers, as a whole, are closer to head-fi'ers than they've ever been before. Flash forward a couple of years and they'll be a lot of people in this community who got their start in the hobby via a pair of Beats.
If this isn't in the "1000 things you learned on Head-Fi" thread, it should be.People on here sure do talk a lot about things that they don't like.
People couldn't be further from audiophile headphones. Beats are a fashion statement, nothing more.
It's a fact that many people will buy Sennheisers, Grados (etc...) after being introduced to "higher-end" cans with the Beats.
