Title: Alright, Who Really Got The Beats By Dre Headphones?
Post by: Digital Pimpin' on September 07, 2009, 01:30:13 PM
I'm in New York on Thursday for a week and I wanna pick up a pair of these and take advantage of the $-£ exchange rate.

But before I spend 300 notes on them, someone tell me, are they actually any good?

apparently the sony mdr-v6 sound very similar for a fraction of the price. but i kinda want to get some to see what they are like and as a fashion item they are cool too. not too keen on the compulsory noise reduction though.

buy the inear headphones, much more relaxed and half the price.

If they weren't so good they wouldn't be able to charge so much and still sell them

Cheers RoCcY. I didn't want to fuck with the Search function.

That's pretty much what I heard. I could get some sick Denon's or Grado's for the same price, but I will feel a little disappointed if i don't get the fashionable Dre ones lol.
I'm not too keen on the active noise cancelling either, but if artists are actually using them in the studio, they can't be all bad.

I looked at those a couple of months ago, but got the Sony MDR EX500's instead. I think I made the right choice, and saved £60.

lol, I didn't see that thread before I made this one, but I've seen people mention that they've got them here and there.
There's not one bad word about them, which made me a bit sceptical.

lol

btw, do any NY peeps know where I can get a pair for under $300, or without paying sales tax?

And none of this "I know deez niggaz in Far Rockaway who'll sort you out but no packaging" business. Otherwise, I'd just wait outside the Apple store with a ski mask and crowbar.

I don't know if this helps you:

Dr. Dre was also on hand to announce Beats Solo, an entry level companion to the original Beats by Dr. Dre. The less expensive headphones will cost between $179 and $219, and will be available in November.

I'd rather pay for a hooker with $350 than for some stupid headphones.

Got em for £200 at Heathrow duty free. Excellent headphones, although they're probably worth £150 which is half the price at retail.

This thought crossed my mind when I parted with the cash, but a British accent in New York gets you a discount on regular pussy ;)

Man, I got three pairs of the in ears I got to return to Monster for new pairs. Within a year of having them, the untangle-able cord fucked up.
