This was going to be a fail either way. They were going to cost twice as much as the Dre headphones & give you worse quality. The only positive was that they were wireless, which would actually wind up being a con later because you'd likely have to keep getting new batteries for it.

Not to mention, not only are the Dre Beats cheaper & better quality, but they are the most trendy pair of headphones to have, like Skull Candy was before that.

So 50 basically got a chunk of change for featuring non-existent headphones in his videos for a few months?
