Count me in, it's not complicated, if you've seen the Beats, and you want to comment on their looks, that's fine, but don't make speculative comments, based on what other people have said if you've never heard them, and this goes not only for headphones, but for any other piece of audio equipement as well.
I also think that even if i have heard X headphones, i feel it's important that i try to be as objective as possible when i comment on them, i try to remember that not everyone has the opportunity to go out, and listen to practically any headphones on the market within a few miles from their houses.
Yes, that's exactly my point. I'm willing to bet most people who bash them never heard them and are bashing them purely because they want to make themselves look like they're knowledgeable about headphones, because as we all know, hating bad headphones automatically means you have golden ears and know everything about headphones. Especially if you recommend M50's right after bashing the Beats. Its ridiculous.
Funny how people who do proper reviews on them dont absolutely hate them. Like Tyll on Innerfidelity when he tested the Studio together with other noise cancelling headphones, he didnt bash them as complete trash, he says they were pretty good, while on the other hand he called the Klipsch M40 bad, which is weird, isn't it?

So many of these threads and yet they never get anywhere.
I think derbigpr is specifically talking about the blind hate we see on Head-fi, not the generic "beats r overpriced" spiel that we hear all the time. I have seen, time and time again, people that have never heard the beats bashing them as "horrid phones" and in return recommending some other headphone that they haven't heard either. It's just silly.
