I was thinking the same thing...
I got some Bose in ear headphones and those are great... not big and cumbersome like the beats by dre joints
so I dunno... I thought about buying them, but then I thought is the ridiculous price for sound quality or am I paying for Dre's endorsement?
bose been doing this for years, so I stuck with my bose joints, and they were free...bonus! -
IMO...no...i've used them before, yes they do improve the quality of the music, but not worth the price they're asking for...my ipod head phones work just fine for me

I think I'm gonna buy some high quality expensive joints and be done with it. I'm on my 4th pair of headphones this year.

no. they are not...
and anybody spending $200-$400 on earphones that are not professionally in the music biz needs their ass kicked... -

I buy chea joints for like 20 a piece. It's wear and tear mostly from the gym Like one will just stop producing sound. -
I got the studio joints. If you aren't an audiophile or into music production...I see no purpose in spending that much for headphones. I love mine though....can't complain.

I just talked my partna out of buying some whats the point of buying hi-quality headphones when most cats listen to low quality music they stole off the net. If you have stuff in CD quality then maybe, but anything else I don't think its gonna matter.

me too joe i can't even understand why the ? they keep falling apart. mot sure how those Dre junts sound but 200 for some headphones is too dam much. ? a kindle fire tablet is 200 -
I got a bootleg pair from Iraq, sound like the real thing I guess.
But speaking of Beats, I watch Book of Eli last night and the girl had Beats in her ear at the end. I thought it didn't fit the time line. But then again there really wasn't a time line. -

MP3's do sound better with quality headphones tho. I can easily tell the difference between my headsets that came with my phone compared to my $120 pair of Sony joints. On top of that the phone headsets blew within a month while my Sony's are going on 6 years.
I may invest in some Beats by Dre if my Sony's ever die on me but until then ? all that. They look dope tho -

pretty much...downloading music means you're getting some songs loud, some softer...having expensive ass headphones wouldn't really make a difference -
My $10 headphones don't last very long either.
-
I got a pair and love them.
-
i use EARPHONES.
£7.... lasted for 3 months now and counting...dunno how u ? ? be breaking. -
I love my Beats. They should great. But a nice pair of Bose joints or whatever prolly sound as good or better. But to be 100% honest, I dig the look of them more than anything Bose has.
-
....Bought these in Japan for $200 in 1999 and they STILL goin strong.

I swear every man and their mum these days are wearing these Beats headphones. They're basically Head Candy headphones all over again, i.e overpriced, poorly constructed fashion accessories with ? sound quality. If you want good quality headphones then buy some Sennheiser HD25's or ? off.
Edit: Actually, I take the '? off' comment back, that was a bit strong and uncalled for, but you get my point. -

Overpriced? Maybe.
Poorly constructed?

hahaha yeah, i peeped that also... -
Yes worth it

SMH can't ? see you're blowing 200 bucks for a trendy ass hiphop product. Every review i've seen for Beats by Dre have been ? , the tech people say it doesn't measure up to better headphones like Bose.
I swear to ? ? are so trendy, for 75% of the cost you can probably go buy the same quality headphones somewhere else. -
Nah, Beats and Bose are overrated as far as audiophile-grade headphones/IEM's are concerned.
