Been called a "stupid idiot with no taste in music" for not wanting the beats.
In college.
Ridiculous.

Sounds like people that'll listen to whatever genres that is considered cool to me.

LOL. Exactly. I see almost 80% of my friends using Beats, and 50% out of those looks down on me for not liking them. Ahah.

In terms of value they blow goats, but I'd buy a pair of Pros if they were priced properly, like maybe $150.

Subtract the 150 and maybe I would consider them.

Walked home in the snow with my D2000's on listening to the Moon OST, got some strange looks. But I could care less that was beautiful!

After the winter break, my roommate and I were driving back to school and my roommate tells me that he got one of the best headphones out right now. He showed me beat solos and I was like ~.~... Cool

I would've just laughed. Heartily.

So...i got back one of my final examn essays in business. It was just a short essay after the multiple choice. most people wrote one paragraph in like half a page of paper or less. i wrote one. i explained many things about demograhics and gave an example of high end audio and target markets and how teens like colorful fashion and stuff
 
. i get a teacher's comments about disagreement with the part on teens with it saying that "Teens buy $500 Beats these days"
 
OMG. if only i could express what i was feeling, she was implying that teens are the high tech audio peeps of today...the comment on beats being specifically $500 showed that she doesn't knw the market.

Or maybe that you don't know that there are models of Beats that do in fact cost exactly $499.99​

I'd still disagree with what the prof was implying.

yeah that's what i was going for
 
 
ANYONE...so do you guys think the Detox is a good improvement over the others? Any first hand experience with the sound?

It sounds better than the Studios/Solos and about the same as the "normal" Pros. It's probably the kind of sound you'd expect for ~100 dollars.

Sounds like you're saying that they're worth $0....
 
Many who've actually listened to the Pros will admit that they actually do worth $200 - $250 retail (not sure about street price though)
They actually sound significantly better than Solos/HD and studios. Better bass extensions, overall more balanced sound spectrum, cleaner and clearer sound and actually have a substantial respectable soundstage.  If you take that+Construction and packaging values, at $200 - $250 retail, for their intended sound-signature, target demographic and usage, they'd be really hard to beat in terms of value.    
 
$100.00 in my opinion is actually selling them short.  $450 - $500 definitely no..
 
 
Though they could be more comfortable.

let's give it some more credit. Maybe around my HFI 580 levels or pro 700MK2's?...ok..for a second there maybe i gave it too much credit >_<
 
does it need amping(probably not) and did you/were you able to use an amp on it to demo?

 

[ac500]

I've heard the value $150 stated much more frequently in context of the Pros. You're the only one I've heard say they're worth as high as $250.
