Yup, just like my HD600s and HD650s that I picked up for less than $300 last year!

Btw...ALL headphones are over priced. The only set of cans I've paid MSRP for were my SR60s. I take that back those Grados are not overpriced!

Every headphone you thoroughly enjoy is not overpriced. Every headphone you don't use because you don't like it is overpriced.

The actual cost of manufacture of headphones are pennies. That has nothing to do with anything.

Well put exactly right Beats taking into account economies of scale third world labour and the cheapest materials have a huge mark up. Beyer however do use rather higher quality materials and hand built in Germany.it's got everything to with it

Beats buyers aren't free they're enslaved to a giant marketing cult !

What's funny is that I've heard that kind of thing from people who think that $10,000 cables are amazing.

Nothing matches The Beats Machine though not even Apple
They are a triumph of marketing like no other. Phenomenal

I think $10,000 cables are amazing...and so is the decision to buy them -- from my perspective.

Looks like Solo 2s will be $97 on Black Friday!
Guess I'll be joining the Cult...another mindless lemming that needs de-programming.

Welcome to the rest of your life. There's no going back. You become one of them.:-/

Actually I'll correct the above. Sorry got a bit carried away Their lifespan will probably be measured in months and not a lifetime. By that time you may have seen the error of your ways. Good luck 

 
 
EDIT To add to that you have Amperiors?I?  Why why why would you go for them Solos. I think you might just be pulling my leg. Ha Ha> Fell for it hook line and sinker. What a

 fool I feel.

Oh no sorry looks like I quoted the wrong person. I've lost the plot.
 
I'm going out now to get me some Beats. If you cant Beat them join them.
 
If I'm going to do this though I will need to go the whole hog no half measures. Thinking the Leopard Skin effect Dr Dre Studio special edition. That way I will really be able to blend in in that urban jungle.
 
Anyway that's all from me babbling away to myself. the last remaining deranged 'hater'
 
I'll turn out the lights and lock up. Shame it didn't make a thousand posts though

 

[GearMe]

Ummm...the Studio's suck!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[god-bluff]

Oh wow I thought this was all over maybe it lives on?!?

Well,the sound quality or lack of won't bother me too much. I'll make use of Beats revolutionary 'removable cable technology'tm
I'll use these exclusively over my woolly hat (edit Pink in colour) over the winter months.☺

You didn't think I'd let the thread die at 985 did ya?

Besides, this thread will never really die; may go dormant...but never die!

 

[god-bluff]

Been meaning to say dig those HD414. They are classics. Most historically important of all along with DT48?

Thanks...yeah, 1st headphones I owned; got a lot of use and were pretty decent for the $$.
