^ Headphones I would be concerned with. But I buy refurbs often enough especially Macs.
But the price they charge, I rather have the saved the 100 or get the pros. Like I said, oh well. it was Chanukah money.

What does your reply have to do with his? My take? Absolutely nothing.
Beats are not that bad at 150. However, there are too many concerns about build quality to ever consider them. Too risky.

Not talking to you, homie.
Since you want to be acknowledged, your post is not very good either.
My dollars are votes. I'm not supporting the mass-marketed garbage that is the Beats brand. M50s have been lauded on head-fi forums; Beats have been roundly criticized. The former is just a better purchase. There's nothing else that needs to be said. I spent a lot of time researching before I bought my headphones because it was my first foray into the higher-end market (read= greater than $10) and M50s are the best bang for the buck for the ~150 range (109 when I bought them). For the ~300 that Beats usually cost, I'd rather pick up a pair of Denon AHD2000s.
If all this is labeled "elitist," I'll wear that shirt.

Yes there's tons of sites and dudes on the street selling fake Beats. And honestly, only thing people can seriously complain about is the bass. If you don't like bass, Beats aren't for you. But otherwise, the brand is great. Studios especially. But by all means, jump on the Beat hating band wagon everyone.. its super original

i can't believe this thread is still going. it's not being elitist, it's being halfway intelligent. stop trying to justify your %*$%** purchase and accept the fact that you're a @%$%#!# idiot.

Buying shoes for a "look" and buying beats for "quality" are two totally different things. Quit trying to compare apples and oranges.

How do you know he has done that in the first place? And so what if he has? Like he said (!!!!!!), these are completely different situations. People in here are insinuating that Beats are a good purchase from a sheer features, performance and build perspective. If it's for looks, go ahead. I don't care. But that's not what people have said in this thread. According to your logic, every single piece of advice in the history of the world is null and void. If someone has committed a mistake, and we all definitely have, his advice doesn't matter? Good to know.

That is such a flawed argument. We wear sneakers casually as a fashion accessory. You wouldn't wear, say, retro Jordan IIIs to hoop in, would you? Performance actually matters for headphones because we use them to listen to music. If you're in it for the looks, by all means, go ahead and get some Beats, otherwise go for the many better alternatives to overpriced and overrated Beats.Originally Posted by RetroSan

You prolly don't know what that is, though.
and if you've ever spent over 100 dollars on sneakers you have no right to question anyone who owns a pair of beats

The Sony XB500 is a better alternative for those who like bass, correct me if im wrong audiophiles.
My friend just bought the Detox version Beats, they don't leak sound as much. Unless it was because his heater in the background made it less noticeable.
I'm planning on getting some M50s with a Fiio E5 amp with my xmas cash

if they brought Beats just because they look cool or hype hat's ok because people do that regardless of what the product is (iPhone, Jordans, Fuji Water).
Yes there are products in the market that are better (probably by a sizable margin) than Beats but people see them as an overall upgrade over whatever headphones they had before.
it is NOT that serious call someone an "idiot" for buying headphones

I got a pair with "maritz points" my company gives out for meeting sales goals. I paid $20 for some Beats Solo shipped.
I don't travel a lot and live by myself so I really have no use for headphones except the gym. These are more comfortable and sound better than the last pair of $20 headphones I was rockin with. I'd never spend more than $50 on a pair but like I said, I have different needs.
