I bought them because they look cool and they are at LEAST an upgrade to the crappy bose headphones that I bought (This was before joining head-fi)
Sure, I secretly respect Beats the same way I secretly respect politicians and people who club fur seals for fun and profit. Monster can make decent IEMs, but the Beats are just a fashion accessory - go in and audition a pair at an Apple store. Early, before anyone sees you.
Yeh a fashion accessory is what they are, to be worn round the neck and feel good about yourselves, I know loads of people in my school who wear them but no one seems to ever be listening them....:
Oh and most I see are fake
At my school about 50% of the people that have beats (which is a very large population because everyone here is rich) wear beats around the neck while the other 50% have them over the ears. Are they listening to music? Who knows, maybe it's just something to block all the even poorer quality music being blasted out of iBuds while looking fashionable.
To the last bit about are they listening to music. Funny story we was piss taking a kid think he was listening to music as the beats were over his ears and then it turned out he was not and he had a go at us, so by the looks things so reckon their are only 20% who own and listen. Wont be long to a beats range that do not actually play music
that's pretty funny xP
I wonder if people would notice if Dre stopped putting drivers in Beats.
I respect the marketing team behind the brand; but I scorn the brand it's self for selling such shlop to people.
