Tried them today and don't understand why they cost £300?

are they not meant to be pretty good?

they are close to top-of-the-line noise cancelling headphones. "Noise cancelling" being the key phrase, and the limiting factor. They are in their own category, and we can compare them to other gadgets, like the slim Sony single speaker that is supposed to create a 3D effect-- they are good at what they do, which is look slick and sound somewhat like what they are trying to imitate, but overpriced and rubbish (in comparison to that half-decent 5.1 surround sound system).

There is nothing great about the beats for $300, which is what you can find it for @ headphone.com

I'd rather go with with some Denon, AKG, or Sennheiser for some closed headphones. They just offer more refinement in SQ.

These headphones are very good for jazz music.
Inside, they have an amplifier and are very good at listening to old music
I am very pleased with the purchase

Beats sound is tuned for the masses and while they are expensive many brands are.

My sony's only sound a bit better than my old beats
