Everyone. If you don't, you're decidedly catatonic.

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?

I have to wonder why you even continued to argue with him for so long over something largely inane.
In a sense, he can argue that his PoV is as valid as yours; however, that doesn't indicate it's as valuable as yours. The credentials you listed boast the value of your input, not the validity of it.

Inane arguments are the hardest to quit.

Inane arguments are the easiest to quit. People won't cease arguing if they see value in continuing, be this value self-gratification or dialectic, but no one will feed an argument he/she believes inane. 
Bear in mind: this includes silly endeavors such as trolling. Those who troll often derive amusement from doing so, and while that may be of questionable value, it's still valuable enough that they've incentive to exercise trolling. Conversely, if they can't achieve their aim via trolling (whether it's amusement or otherwise), they will stop.

The line just fell, I've actually tested them out, the drop is true, after 20hz it was gone.

I have the ath-m50's and have compared beats with these side by side. The sound from the Beats was over inflated which I could see some people enjoying. But I liked my m50's more. I just hate the style of them. I think they look cheap and gotty. I wonder if they make a 2nd generation version if it will improve to compete with the kinds of headphones reviewed on this site. I'm sure some of the people who buy them are getting a taste of the hobby and after doing more research may wish to try a different head phone.

600 AUD ? Thats a PRO900 with the E17. BTW which part of Australia are you in ? Check my sig if you are in Perth.

I saw a pair of Beats Pros for 750AUD. I think they were a special edition or something. Rediculous.

I know it's lying dormant now, but if it does get passed and the internet goes down. WE can take a few congressmen and sites down with us. Just post copyrighted images, works, and links to torrenting sites on their sites

Recently, got into an argument over Beats in a Best Buy. Two employees complained my headphones didn't go "loud enough".
It's true. All consumers care about nowadays is loudness and bass. Though playing a track with low sub bass seemed to sway their opinions a bit...
Note that the $300 Beats have the huge dip in FR at 20Hz. Something even my Pioneers managed to avoid for the most part.
