I remember a time when I would have thought of $25 as a LOT of money to pay on headphones. I mean they always break, so why pay more than the minimum, right?
 
Also saw someone with HD280 Pros, and a lot of Beats and Bose QC on a plane.

I used to pause when buying $5 Fake Flagship Sony IEM's off of Ebay thinking if it was worth it. SINCE THEY ALWAYS BREAK. 
Nowrops $150 on headphones
 
Friends:   :O What is wrong with you man. I love music but.. (no you don't)
 
Friends with Beats: *look all smug and stuff* and then subtly put on their beats as a fashion statement of *DUH THESE ARE BETTER* (no, they are more expensive, you are a guy...can you see the worth of putting gucchi on a bag and a car, your answer is no...so why did you get beats?)

You don't need good gear to love music.

It's all about appearance that's why. That being said, Bose is starting to pop up more around school here. Same with Beats, but it's gotten the point where I don't care that much. That being said, lots of people care about looking cool rather than staying warm. Beats+(not-actually-fleece)hoody<eVent(or whatever waterproof membrane) shell+synthetic insulation piece on that one. Toasty warm even on the coldest days of freezing rain and worse. Last laugh is mine because I don't get sick

Wow OP she was totally into you. You guys should go on a date or something. Maybe you could take her to a headphone store, you know because girls love to shop, and then the two of you could go back to your place and have a swell time. And by swell time I mean like listening to music on your headphones.

Yeah, he explicitly talks about them as RS-2s on the show. He actually gives them to this one kid during one of the episodes...

Not sure where to post this but i don't think anyone will hate me for posting it here.

First story. My dad came home and started telling me that the people at his work were talking about Beats and how great they were, so my dad comes in to the conversation and tells everyone that Beats aren't worth their price at all and that compared to headphones for half as much they sound like crap. Couldn't be more proud of him, haha.

Second story. I was sitting in my Biology class when my P.E. teacher comes into the class to talk to my Bio teacher, with Beat Studios on... Wasn't going to say anything but then she asks me if my Shure 940 that was sitting on my desk was loud, i told her that they could be loud if hooked up to a proper amp. She seemed to know what an amp is and she also seemed like she really was interested in hi end audio but just didn't try looking farther than ads. I have a four hour long bus ride with her on sunday so ill see if i cant convert her then.
