My Audio-Technica's arrive today. Can't wait.

And idk, if anyone saw on Groupon, they had "new/open box" M50x's on sale for $100.
 
Anyone have experience with the following:

Klipsch R6 IN-EAR BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES 

Jaybird X2

Powerbeats wireless

Currently own the Jaybirds, but even after swapping the tips, they tend to slowly make their way out of my ear canal when I run and IMO they should be a little louder. Strong possibility I'm not using the right combo/given the tips a long enough trial period.

Considered the wireless PBs because they actually bar the wraps around the ear.  Have never owned any Beats products and that partly has to do with stuff I've read about their quality and tbh, I cannot do those large earmuff headphones. Too big, bulky, and don't care for the look either.

Klipsch R6, was a strong possibility since I've owned some of their home floor standing speakers way back to the '90s. Wired headphones were decent, too.

Anyway, any feed back would be appreciated. I'm certainly not an audiophile, but do rather enjoy and appreciate it when it not only sounds good, but functions well.
 
Would like to know as well, been looking for a pair of wireless ones for the gym and have heard good things about the jaybird x2, but my buddy can hook me up with wireless in ear beats for cheap

I saw the wireless PB2s for $129, but I was looking more sub $100 myself. I got my X2s from the Army / Air Force exchange about a month ago for $99 shipped.

Beats are severely overhyped!. I can get better sound quality from my Skullcandy Mix Master's paired with my FiiO E11 DAC. They are certainly not the best sound quality out there , but they are much cheaper than a pair of beats.

my hesh 1 and 2s crush beats anyday of the week
 
i had my pair since 2011 and still running strong... dont know how yall break yours...i enjoy my beats headphones but i know there are cheaper alternatives but dont look as nice which was 1 of the reasons i copped.. but beats is popular because of the marketing just like iphones... there are better options out there for cheaper price
 
i love my beats pill but its not powerful enough

DEF not worth MSRP, i got for 100 bucks off flee bay
 
I got the Powerbeats 2 Wireless for $50 and Beats Pill+ (Pill 2) for $130 while working a stint at BB.
Overhyped? Definitely.
Overpriced? Depends. Shop wisely.
Both sound great though.
Powerbeats while hoopin' :pimp:
 
I had the first generation Studios. They felt cheaply constructed. The sound quality was real good to me. Definitely not worth the price I paid though. They got stolen out of my truck when it was broke into last year. They worked perfectly fine still. I got a pair of Monster Beat Pros on black Friday for 130. Sound is great. The bass is not as deep as the studios. The volume seems to be louder with the studios too. For 130 I couldn't pass up. They feel sturdy and are made better. I would not pay full price for them though. I think 150-200 is a good price.
 
I know they aren't part of the Monster brand anymore but anything with that M is ridiculously overpriced for the performance. I remember working at Best Buy and having to push $120 HDMI Monster cables that did the exact same thing as the $30 ones. lol

Same thing with the Beats, I had a pair of Tour 1.0 that I thought sounded excellent but when they broke I bought a pair of $15 Sonys that sounded the same if not a little better. SMH. Haven't bought another pair of Beats since.
 
had the beats and the cord got messed up. couldnt hear **** with out moving the cord.

bought the wireless beats buds will charge but wont turn on.

went back to my old $20 sony joints from BB MDR-ZX100 and work beautifully and been through hell and back and 2 motorcycle accidents
