Beats by Dr. Dre - 2

Seeker99 · 06-20-2012

Beats are so overrated. I have $20 Sony headphones that are comfier and a lot better. It's just like iPods, everyone has to get them just to hate them.

I think someone should compile a list of headphones they think are the best. I only spend 180 for mine and if I could have gotten better for 80, I would have. When I feel my shipping and handling prices (of them being sent in) has reached half the price I paid for my headphones, I'll, hopefully, stop sending them in.

Headphones cost maybe 30c to 5$ to make right?
It may seem that they are losing money, but I highly doubt it.

I'll compile said list by budget...

$1-70:
VSonic GR06 (IEM)
Audio-Technica ATH-CKM50
Klipsch i4
Grado SR60i

$70-150
Audio-Technica ATH-M50
Ultrasone HFI-780
Sennheiser HD555
Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10

Also I might think of starting up a thread to help people with headphone choice... thoughts?

sounds like brand naming and nothing more

skullcandy can **** off too, no self respecting person should be purchasing products from either one.

I think a thread would be nice if you organize it by quality, while giving price, and information others might look for.. ie. bass, or ghz or whatever..

I know I'd find it useful.
The only real brand that I have ever known of, besides cheap crap in stores, are SkullCandy and I have heard of Beats.

I agree, whereas it seems they are slightly getting better, their costs have gone up greatly, and they have gone from lifetime warranty dollars, to points (1900 points were $19.00), to points that go away after 2-3 months. Basically not allowing you to save them.

I have paid for Skullcandy headphone from E-Bay which I received not working...
Emailed the seller and they sent a stupid letter back saying I could send them in.
(That is shipping money wasted on my part to send in their defect.)
I then emailed SkullCandy who sent me a free pair and a smaller cheap buds pair too.
(I then sent in the defect for the extra points since they did not tell me what I could or could not do with them.)

I've had many where parts would just go bad.. my last pair:
Aviator Blacks - Broke in about three months, the mic stopped working. Sometimes I couldn't hear through the headphones because of it too. Then they dropped and the wire came out of the mic. o.O

I've had maybe 7 other pairs of Skullcandy that I constantly returned for others...
(Which is why I say I'm stuck in their loop.)

I now have:
Hesh 2 Carbon W/Mic
Heavy Medal Black W/Mic
And another discontinued pair from them somewhere W/Mic.

I do like their looks and keeping their bags though..
The sound quality is... good? I guess.
Can't say I really look for sound quality or can I really tell the difference..

I give them less than 6 months.

(Yes, I've actually justified why I find them horrible, and not just saying they are without reasoning)

I'll start a thread not for listing by budget as I've posted already, but for personal recommendations based on the poster's personal preferences if you guys want.

Some people might want the next best thing if they are on a budget though.. I mean, it doesn't have to be organized by price, but by quality.. Price can just be listed, unless they can go on eBay and find it cheaper.. which I would try for.

Already posted a thread though 3:

David K? · 06-21-2012

It can still be edited. o.o
The starting post though, where?

Pazx · 06-21-2012

I thought the people in this forum would be smart enough not to buy beats/skullcandies... I was wrong.

Sessy · 06-21-2012

I don't really think compiling a list would work too well for some people, due to subjective audio and sound signature preferences. I would definitely add something like the RE0 to the list and just have people disapppinted by the pack of bass. The thread I posted is in the same section.

holy **** I'm a ******

Okay; listen up. The thing about those beats is this; they fked up the bass and made it sound like there is ALOT more bass, while the middle and higher sounds are normal. If you like that they're okay, but still overpriced. The one thing I like about them is that they isolate the sound so it doesn't disturb others. Long story short; don't buy them. If you get them or can get them for a very low price (50-60 dollars) you should do it though ;).
Just some advice ^^.
