03.23.12 | I see everyone wearing them so just wondering if their decent or not. Lookswise they're pretty sexy. |

03.23.12 | I don't recommend these. Buy some "Bose" headphones |
Inveigh
03.23.12 | idk dude they're headphones, probably not worth $140 but then again they're better than bose headies
i just rock a pair of like $50 sonys and i'm really happy with them |

03.23.12 | @Inveigh I wouldn't even consider them usually but randomly came across abit of money recently and everyone hear has a pair, listened in the shop and they sound awesome but I'm hardly a pro at these things. |
Winrar
03.23.12 | Don't buy them.

03.23.12 | unless you listen exclusively to mainstream hip-hop they're not gonna sound very good. |

03.23.12 | I have the the dre earbuds there good but yea sennheiser is wayyy better headphones |
TheArkitecht
03.23.12 | @Auberginedreams not really my tastes are all over the show so I need headphones that complement every style. |
Inveigh
03.23.12 | yeah you can get an awesome pair of sennheisers for like $60, definitely better than any beats headphones |
Winrar
03.23.12 | I don't spend too much money on headphones but im using ATH AD700s and they're great. |

03.23.12 | i have a pair of ath-m50s and they rule big time |

03.23.12 | For about the same price you can get Klipsch Image One.
You'll be glad you did |

03.23.12 | They're really not all that good |

03.23.12 | I have the Bose ear buds and I've been thinking about buying some over ears as well. I wouldn't go with the Dre ones though, I feel like it's all hype and meant to be trendy rather than quality. |
SCREAM!
03.23.12 | Yeah with the Beats you pay a lot for the look and the name |

03.23.12 | Dre Beats are way too bass heavy. They are really only good for hip-hop. I know they look sweet but I prefer my Sony MDR-NC6 ($39.99) to them (they are out of production though). Just get these: http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-202-Professional-Headphones/dp/B003LPTAYI/ref=sr_1_5?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1332467688&sr=1-5
You will get great sound for all types of music and you can go buy other things with the leftover cash. |
Dunpeal
03.23.12 | fact: you're not a cool guy unless you roll into the gym wearing some dre beats |
TheArkitecht
03.23.12 | Hmm I'll think I'll have to have a serious think and test of different headphones before I make a decision. |
lancebramsay
03.23.12 | Dre Beats are to headphones as Jordans are to shoes |

03.23.12 | Don't fucking get them. They blow. Too bass heavy and very unbalanced. Get some Bose or Sennheisers or AudioTechnica |
ChuckyTruant
03.23.12 | I have Sennheiser HD 428 and they are fucking great
Bose are also good. Albeit expensive |
lancebramsay
03.23.12 | I have a pair of Klipsch speakers. They kick ass. Didn't even know they made headphones though.. |
Strider
03.23.12 | I made a list about this last week (well, for the earphone version, but same thing...). I got mine at
auround 35 euros, they're real, and frankly, if you don't listen to a lot of hip-hop or
techno/electronica, they're not for you. they are extremely bass heavy, and for rock music, or any
other music that doesn't rely essentially on bass, the sound is going to be a bit messy. then again, I
got used to the sound, and having an iPod touch helps too for the sound settings. I've sort of gotten
used to listening to rock music with them, plus, it forces me to keep the sound to a normal level,
which I wouldn't normally do. So, yeah, try them out, if you can get them at a fair price |

Alternative summary: don't buy Bose or Beats by Dre |

03.23.12 | i got a pair in september, used them for vocals/drums at full blast maybe a couple times a month, the left one just blew out. it had been funky from the beginning. bunch of bullshit |
CakeWithCream
03.23.12 | i heard that they break incredibly, incredibly easily |
SCREAM!
03.23.12 | "I bought $30 headphones from wal-mart, and they work beautifully for everything. Just do that?"
Don't listen to these people. They know not what they are missing out on (I know, I used to be one of them) |

03.23.12 | sup east hastings
yeah i have a pair of 20 dollar sonys that i take to the gym because i've broken four or five pairs there but they aren't anywhere close to the higher end brands |

They cost me $50, and they slay for the price. |
auberginedreams
03.23.12 | i really like my bose ae2 headphones, but i'm on my third pair in about 3.5 years because one side or the other always ends up blowing out. which is kind of stupid considering they're $150, but best buy is usually good about replacing them if you have a warranty. |
auberginedreams
03.23.12 | funny story. i had some in-ear headphones and the rubber tip came off inside of my ear and i had to go to an urgent care facility to have it removed. it sucked, and it was like three days before christmas too. |
Acanthus
03.23.12 | Retarded headphones of laughable quality. Go to Guitar Center or the local equivalent and get some DJ headphones if you absolutely have to have huge ear cups and long ass cords. |
baldymort
03.23.12 | they do make you look like a fair wigger but they are ridiculously good. iv got the studio ones and they sound amazing for any type of music. that crisp. |
Ire
03.23.12 | they're pretty awful. the bass on dre beats is pretty much the worst i've ever heard. keep in mind i don't try to check out shitty headphones but yeah man you're much better off getting anything else.
i have senn 280s and i love them. the treble is a little bit sharp but i love that quality. the 280s are 100 bucks and have a great warranty too |
insomniac15
03.23.12 | get some Sennheiser, they're good. Right now I have a Audio-Technica designed for studio use and I find them really cool (and cheaper). |
ChuckyTruant
03.23.12 | ^ yes this
exactly what I said. |
LiquidVelvet
03.24.12 | Bose are worse than Beats. Get some Beyerdynamics if you want actual quality, the ST770 Pro set is good and affordable. From someone who actually knows about hi-fi audio and has done a lot of custom installations etc, I can say in confidence that Bose is overpriced barely-decent audio wear with really good marketing and nothing more. Shoot for sennheiser or beyerdynamic if you want quality. |
