The power of marketing. The wireless studios are pretty good though, best Bluetooth headphones on the market.

Jack a company, make them turn over the patents, rebrand then sell to the highest bidder (Apple). That's par for the course with these corporations. Ain't it?
Never owned anything by Beats, but I'm not gonna lie and say I wouldn't buy or try their stuff if I was in the market for headphones. Just don't have a need for them. My little Sony ear hooks are good and cheaply replaceable.

Messed up what they did to Monster but that's business.
Never copped Beats but given a pair by my cousin who worked for them for Christmas, sound was good but terrible build quality.

As much as Beats suck, Apple earphones are the worst. I have gone through at least 20 of them since owning the first iPhone. The things just break super easy. Last pair I got at Best Buy, I got a warranty for $7 and I am about to use it for the 2nd time this year.
Anyone recommend a good bluetooth earbud that I can use at the gym?

I'm still using the headphones from my iPhone 5 and they've been through the wash and still work fine. I don't know how dude is breaking them.

My Powerbeats 2 wireless joints are the truth though. Overpriced? Of course. Could I have gotten something better and cheaper? Probably. Worth it on my end (running, gym) anyways? Absolutely.

Yeah the son kinda ****** em over that's why you always need a lawyer when dealing with contracts. Beats out here acting like them dudes had nothing to do with the headphones outside of "sourcing materials"
Here's one of the articles I had bookmarked if anybody wants to read it
