Headphones....Beats by Dr. Dre Studio vs. Beats Solo

[LooN3y]

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

Lol apple products is much more than just "over priced fashion items"


It has the most powerful OS (for a phone and don't tell me android is a better OS cuz that's straight bs) and on the best hardware, might not be the most powerful but it's basically perfected


It's expensive for a reason, but stay in a couple weekends And the average consumer for damn sure can afford it, or have a side hustle.

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 competition

People 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.

lol man, thats tunnel vision thinking, your only thinkign of iphones, ipod as things to play with, like games and music.



but its a samll computer, one of the best, and it makes companies paperless with a couple of itouchs , iphones, and ipads. it cuts out man hours and saves the company time and money.

and its the most stable operating system, much more stable than the andriod ios or windows as apple has very very strict guidelines about the app.


like i said your only thinking one sided.

The people that whine about the price just have no money

Or we don't want to spend hundreds of extra dollars just for Dre's name.

You're paying for a high quality headphone made to listen to hip-hop and dre's name. 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

[OG Jaydc]

I'm not sure what's so lol about that. I don't want to wear something that are completely hideous. I care about the way i look in public, and when you can combine a great sound and the best looking headphone on the market, your winning.Maybe your the type that doesn't give a shit about how you look, but that's on you.


However, when I see people rocking them at a club or having them around their neck with no cord plugged in, that's lol worthy. I mean they look nice, but I'm wearing them for the sound first. Wearing them like a fucking scarf is a fail.

I used to own the studios a while back theyre awesome had to invest in some rechargable batteries tho because i always used them if its between those to go studio. However, you can get better sound quality headphones for a cheaper price.

i 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.

All that rationale over a pair of headphones? 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.

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 lol

and yea the studios for a present, sold it for 350, and got my pros for 400, so only spend 50 dollars on my pros

Headphones are headphones to me. They all look and feel the same

Like I previously mentioned, my old Panasonic ones were cheap low market compared to beats price-wise, yet to be honest there wasn't much difference sound wise. Maybe it's because I'm getting older? But they were comfy, even more so than my Sony ones which were double the price



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.

End of the day, it's up to the buyer. Two of my friends have different beats headphones hence why I was able to compare with my own sets, and it doesn't matter who buys what. Like you said, some people prefer buying more expensive models of specific items. I have a friend right into his movies/home theatre and he has spent a scary amount of money on audio set up and everything else. Whereas me, I'm happy with a standard surround sound, hooked up to my ordinary sized TV, but I spend more on footwear than him

It's alright to buy, but you do get these people out there that buy them simply to front and for bragging rights and believe they have the best in the market, and look down their nose at anyone who has anything that costs less. Not you judging by your posts, but there are those people out there

Cars are a good investment. Expensive cars are still gonna be considered stylish after they are outdated. Generic cars aren't (unless they're mentioned in a rap song), but then again you aren't spending on them. Anyway, headphones wont even last long enough to be a good investment.
