Headset recommendations

[Buzzed Killer]

All joking aside though. I'm an audiophile myself and while Beats may not be the very best, they sound great and are very aesthetically pleasing.

There is however this huge hate for them in the audio community. For some reason I noticed usually white men 35+ have an unusual hate for Dre beats. They won't even try them and just discredit them right away usually or just repeat something that they heard from a website. Put some Bose infront of them and their all over it though,ASAP.

I think a lot of it has to do with subconscious feelings about who's behind the headphones. Human ears are not even that sensitive to sound ànyways.

beats by dre are way overpriced for their quality. you can get the same shit for half the price. quit being fuckin hipsters.

You might want to look up "hipster" (Def not wearing Dre beats)

Thank you though. You supplied a Perfect example of someone just repeating something just because they heard someone else say it.

Such simple minds these days it's crazy.

Beats scare me. I don't want to be considered one of "those" people.

The size of the drivers and quality of the components is shit compared to what engineers and real professionals use. Try a near transparent headphone with a clean, quality signal. Nothing like it. But obvi this thread is full of audiophiles with grados.

If you want to listen to compressed mp3 garbage through an iPhone beats are perfect.

Real headphones and a quality amp to drive them cost real money.

Yeah you are a real audiophile. Named Bose as an example of why Beats are good lol.

I agree that white people might wear Bose for image but Beats are about the same. They both have different images associated with them and both are way overpriced unless you value the image. They have huge margins compared to other headphones in the same price range. If you actually believe Beats are good you can't call yourself an audiophile.

Beats look cool and are a fashion statement. I don't mind people buying them but if you are 100% looking for something with good sound to be used in your home it is a bad purchase and not what this OP should be looking at.

I wear old headphones that we discarded as part of an e-learning initiative for frontline employees 5 years ago.

What? You lost me there. I been sarcastic the whole time. And I said a lot of folks will ignore Beats but run too Bose just because they don't like Dr Dre or don't want to be associated with anything black.

They all have good sound quality, they are all assemblies of massively ordered cheap plastic parts from China. Everything you know about them are based on marketing information and trends among people. Most human ears can't even start to distinguish the difference in sound quality in higher end audio equipment, and everyone's ears has their own preferences and pick up sounds differently aswell.

So stating facts is simple minded. I see but you are welcome to prove me wrong. I guess buying that 200 dollar Kanye West white t shirt is a good buy then. Dumbass people were telling me I could get a white tee at Walmart for a lot less.

You still have no idea what's going on do you? Lol.

Kanye West? wtf are you even talking about? All I said is, you might want to know what a hipster is before saying they wear drebeats. It's hard debating with sheltered people who have no idea what they are taking about.
