A guy I walked past in the hall with my M50 on (picture the AT logo) excalimed, "Are those the Mountain Beats?"

If it wasn't getting late I might make a quick photoshop of Sherpas leading Dre up Mt Everest or something...

Eh, I do know that, but I'm willing to sacrifice. Sometimes open is a benefit, so you know where the car is before it hits you

 
 

I'm not sure it's as lean as you think. I have to double my usual volume with open headphones to get anything out, and that way everyone can hear me. Trying to hear music on the subway is impossible. I just don't want you to make a purchase you might regret. There are very good closed headphones out there, and they usually have more bass punch because the sound reverbrates inside the shell. But ultimately it's your call =) you can always end up using them at home if you can't use them outside.

Eh... oh... Well I'm starting to get some occasional outbreaks of tinnitus in my ears so I've had to keep my headphones at 40% of iPod volume (I had it around 60-70%, which is supposedly borderline safe, but I guess my ears are too sensitive). I guess the researchers were wrong. So I probably shouldn't consider it. I'll have to consider other treble/mid range options with a closed backing then, possibly. I like having ears keen enough to hear the buzz from the electric current in a light bulb

YOUR CABLE IS RED. THIS COLOR OBVIOUSLY BELONGS TO DR DRE. YOU'RE A PHONY.

Also, I laughed at 'Why is there a fan in your headphones?' That was awesome.

Oh and...Cheap piece of crap...My face.

Fire up the medical chainsaws!!!!!!!
 
this will clearly show him that red belongs to everybody

 

[crayonhead]

You could always say. "This red is from the blood of my vanquished foes and serve as a reminder that you shall meet this fate one day from my hands"
 

 

[iceshark]

Meh. The red is for the suffering it caused you to pay for all that stuff and lug it around to computer class all day.

 

 

[crayonhead]

true. at 170 usd min new.. That's basically for me.. 10 days of food (breakfest, lunch, dinner)
But then again, i'd go for a month without food for an amp or headphones..

the average beats owner says this to me when i tell them my headphones are better
 
me: look at my headphones, these are professional headphones used in the studio.
beats fan: are they the beats studios
me: no they are the shure srh840 studio headphones, they cost $200
beats fan: my beats are better
me: no beats are over priced, my pioneer se m390 i got for $70 bucks sounds just as good if not better.
beats fan: your just jealous cause you can't afford the beats.
me: *facepalm*

Shouldn't have said sensitive sentence like that in front of someone who owns Beats, give him a try of your headphone and let their own conscience judge their own purchase.
 
Got a friend who just bought beats, well I think he's quite mad after I post some stuff regarding the reviews and critiques in Facebook about how overpriced Beats are in reality. There you go... typical Beats user, they need to justify their own purchase with that kind of attitude.
 
EDIT : forgot to add some stuff
 

 

[legitaudio]

This hasn't happened to me yet but i always ask the question "why do people over-wearing your beats?" I mean I got the solos because i didn't feel like paying a lot of money for basically the same thing only as an over ear and I barley wore them out in public. I'm just saying that i think people overwear their beats. So I guess you should just tell them you wanted to put your money toward something better and you feel as though you don't need beats to feel good about yourself.

This would be the part where I pull out my Cowon J3 + Practical Devices XM6. "Oh yeah? This is nearly $700 of hardware right here. Better spent here than on any two pairs of Beats."
