I once got called out on it on Facebook when I was commenting about how expensive the Beats are- I compared them to my ATH-M50s and the possibility of custom pads for the noise isolation (which is decent on the Beats Pro thingy).
All bloody night long, this idiot was arguing about how his point of view was as valid as mine (he has no musical experience or tech experience, I've got 7 years of both contemporary and classical music alongside pretty decent amateur tech work).
Some people will serve you **** and declare it's gold.
This all happened in Australia, by the way. The guys' heads came to about 600AUD because of the shipping and whatnot.
What could you buy with 600AUD?
