Beats By Dre - Beats Audio Headphones

[TheCount]

The whole anti-beats movement is so silly. I use Denon D2000's at home and hve never owned Beats, but why does it matter if someone likes Beats and can afford them? They are headphones!

The Razer headphones in the chart don't look so hot either, I wouldn't be caught wearing either. Heck, the chart is so biased and inaccurate that you'd be a fool to let it influence your purchase decisions.

I still can't believe people buy these things. They have no idea about music and sound. The price of those are for nothing, but name. They are terrible.

Ragu Effect: If you think they are good, it's because you've never had anything better.

One word. Logic. Because spending a lot of money for lower quality headphone is illogical. Some people just don't have any logical reasoning.

These are way better than any Beats headphones.

Even these $25 ones get the job done

Headphones are a pain to me.

I HATE the ear bud headphones (ones that came with Iphone or ipod). Hurt my ears and I just don't care for them. Used them on the plane during the recent vacation just because I figured if they got lost or damaged it would be no big deal.

I also do not like the big head phones that not only look to big on someone's head but personally the large cups around my ears bother me. Sometimes they make your ears (or area around your ears) sweat or feel funky.

So normally at work I just keep a cheap pair of Koss small head phones. Just the run of the mill generic head phones. They don't have the best sound but I know they are not over sized, I know they will not hurt my ears and I know they will not make it feel like my ears and side of my head are sweating.

Plus I am not out any real money at all and if they get wore out, tore up, damaged or lost than I can just go get another cheap pair without worrying about it.

The iPhone earphones don't bother me. I just swipe my wife's (she doesn't like them) and use them. I mainly use them on my commute to work and they sound well enough that I can listen to them while I dose (light sleep) on the train every morning.

Now, for my computer (read gaming) and guitar playing needs, I have a much nicer set of over the ear headphones. (Audio-Technica ATH M35, less than $50 after shipping) I agree, they can get sweaty if it's warm or you are very active wearing them, but I keep my house about 72-73 degrees and that isn't a problem. I would NEVER take them out of the house to use as headphones for listening to music.

I hate the ones that come with a phone. I like my Koss ear bud headphones because the have the foam rubber piece that fits in your ear. They are great on a plane because they block out most of the noise. the best part is they cost maybe $20.

That is what my wife likes, I hate the buds that you have to squeeze in to your ear. I find them uncomfortable. Which is why I get all of the iTouch headphones from my wife and kids.

I find those uncomfortable. She just likes them because they drown you out.

People who have Beats, and all the other types described here are better, Sennheiser.Audio-Technica, Shure, Beyerdynamics, AKG, etc, all of those.

Exactly... I had a buddy that bought some and lent them to me... I was appalled at how bad they sounded...

Bose it MUCH better at half the price... and the best bang for the buck are Klipsch... FAR & AWAY...

Sennheiser and Beyer are also a good buy... they've been doing this for decades...

Beats are not better headphones. The only thing better about them is the durabilty and housing enclosing them. That part of Beats is tight. The actual sound of Beats isn't near the price they seek for them. There are MUCH better sounding headphones on the market than Beats, hands down.

But it's really the "look" factor of Beats that sells them.

Look at the runt in this thread. Laker colors....nuff said.

I heard that Beats have problems with the arms breaking.

Maybe they do, I don't know. The ones I have checked out, I liked the durable feel of them. Much better than some plastic shells.

Beats suck. overhyped and overpriced. Senheisers are so superior. But there are so many great headphone at that price range its insane. It figures C and L would have a pair of those haha kid is a sheep for sure lol
