Over-priced fashion item just like Apple products.I'm happy with my Sony MDR's (aroudn the same price), and even before that the Panasonic Pro set I got for around a measly £90. I've listened to music through beats, and my own headphones and notice no difference. They don't make non CDQ tracks sound CDQ, or tell you the lottery numbers in clear crystal sound, but what the extra price does guarentee (sometimes) is that it'll pay for the extra time they spent on the shop floor "testing" the product, and paying for their test equipment, labour, as well as advertising costs, and any additional warranty that might come with them
Apple products are over-priced fashion items, whichever way you look at it. They market their products that way, and spend a large portion on apperance of their products compared to their competitionPeople think that by buying an Iphone, or Ipod, that they're getting the best. From my experience, and 4 Ipods later, I can honestly say that Ipods are not the best Media players on the market, and they tend to be almost double that of other media players that are just as capable of doing the exact same thing. I can stream and record from mine. I've not had an IPod that's been able to do that yet. The IPhone does have the best operating system, but it doesn't mean that it's the best. It is a fantastic phone, but when I changed from my Apple 3GS, to Galaxy S, I thought it was a better phone IMO. Depends what you want from it.
The people that whine about the price just have no money

Does it matter? You got people buying thousand dollar jeans but paying for a name in headphones is somehow different? If someone wants to pay that money that's on them, why do people feel the need to bitch and moan? I personally love them, best sounding and best looking headphones I've ever owned

And lol at headphones being a fashion statement.co-signi would never spend more than 40 dollars on jeans, i wear dickies, levis, the most expensive piece of clothing i have is either jerseys or suits (of which i only have 2)if i were going to spend 1000 dollars on clothes it most def would be suits, but anyways, the i get studios because their good quality, and they look dope too.a toyota can be just as efficient as a bently or a corvette, but that doesn't mean people are going get a toyota "because its life span is about the same and its cheaper"people have different tastes, and yes it basically is like jewelry, same shit as if you were buying those old school narrow hats that r for 10 for 3 dollars where as a new era hat costs 25 for one.if u don't like it thats on you, but id bet if u were to get one for a gift all you guys that r talkin shit would treasure it.yea its expensive, but when i couldn't afford it couple years back i didn't act like i didn't like it cuz of that, shit i wanted it bad. i don't care if there were "better" cheaper ones, beats just look dope too.anyways yea theres complaints about the beats, but the "cheaper better" ones r way more flimsy.lol and plus a grip of hoes breaker the ice with my beat pros when I'm flying.

Nigga who you wearing that shit for? Shit at least with the car or clothes there's a possibility you can use them to impress bitches or something. No one even cares what headphones you've got on in the first place. And Fact: You aren't interacting with anyone while you're listening to music. Putting on headphones is an antisocial statement. It means don't bother me, I'm listening to music instead of talking to you.If I got one for a gift yeah I'd wear it. Because it'd be free so why not? Headphones are headphones and they sound better than the 20 dollar ones I use. But if you're actually spending all that money on it thinking it will make you cooler I feel sorry for you.
Unlike Jewellery, jewellery tends to retain it's value, or increase in value, and can be re-used, melted down and so on.... Headphones though are a technological item, and are not a good investment by comparison. Either's a car though I suppose.
what in the world are you talking about, who am i wearing that shit for? did i now explain in my previous post? I'm wearing them for me, because I LIKE THEM, i stated this in my last post, i assume u didn't read in detail or didn't get the context of it.like i said if people can afford it, y do people get corvettes or g37s rather than a corolla or camry when it initially does the same thing; get you where u need to be. because they prefer it.i didn't get it to impress anyone, it seems like the only part of the thread was the last part, yea its a plus its a nice ice breaker, obviously i didn't get it to "impress" people.im not gonna buy a dodge challenger to "impress" people, its because i want it, it may sound selfish but i care more bout what i want than what others think of me, i can careless. if i was so into "impressing people", y would i wear dickies, white t's and jerseys, that shit aint impressing anyone, i just prefer it.if u have a job, you can basically afford it with cutting down on expenses, my homie buys j's i don't, i would only buy the all white 06 3's. but id buy beats if i had the money. he buys over priced shoes i buy over priced headphones, WHY? because we prefer it.its the concept of LIKING something loland yea the studios for a present, sold it for 350, and got my pros for 400, so only spend 50 dollars on my pros
