I was listening to my brother's Beats Pro just for fun and I swiveled the left ear thing the wrong way and severed the line inside. Now I'm forced to pay for overpriced headphones lol

Ouch x2
 
Why didn't you just lie to him and go "Your left driver isn't working"
 
And have him replace them for himself

Why not let monster pay for their design-flaws.
This is ridiculously bad design if you can destroy your product with a common mistake.

He doesn't know, it just happened. Unfortunatley also I don't think he cares much about audio quality, he just likes the looks. On Monster's defense he bought them from Craigslist so I don't even know if they are real.

Maybe they are real, and Monster will honour the warranty. Worth a shot, no?

Better yet, act stupid and call up Monster via the warranty
 
Say "I don't know what happened by the left speaker isn't working."
 
But that probably depends on the warranty period
 
 
 
Bettererererer yet, buy him some Koss DJ100 because they have a lifetime warranty, limited to defects, but there is no defects like a Beats has

Don't the PROs actually sound good? They are overpriced but the PROs actually sound good. Not many audiophile headphones will compare in bass quantity and still have the construction and sound it does. The only brand that I can think of is Ultrasone that may have something comparable to the Beat Pros.

They are like a bar of metal built around you head.
 
The sound was OK, but you get the idea on what more respectful people say around here.
 
I would buy Beats if they were better priced. But $400 for a can that has $100 of SQ and $50 of Bass is pitiful
 
If they were at $200, I might think about it. If on sale from that, their mine.

Alright so this is what I did. I bought him new ones at Best Buy, paid for the no questions asked replacement warranty, so I will put the broken ones in the box and trade them in a week or so. That at least will make it 2 Beats for the price of one.
 
Upon comparison of the two headphones, his were fake, but really hard to tell. I have purposley purchased some new fakes that should be in next week so I might do my first review by comparing real with fake ones that are $100
 
BTW I see what everyone complains about the real ones about how muddy they are.

Ditch the Beat, get him a Grado

There is absolutely no comparison between ultrasone and monster bass. period. Comparing the beats to my 900s, the bass sounds flimsy and muddy. There is no snap to it at all, its just thick sticky mud. Add onto the lack of resolution, the constant humming of the noise cancelling circuit, and the cheap plastic feel and you have yourself one heck of a mudbath!

Another reason for not using the Beats.

Beats Studio =/= Beats Pro

I could have got the Beats Pros for $210 but went with the TMA 1s instead for $200 is that a bad mistake?
