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.

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.

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.

People don't flee from Beats to Bose because they are scared of blacks.

Younger people like Beats because of the image.

As you put it, white 35+ year olds like Bose because of the image.

Beats are made of cheap plastic and have huge margins. If you bend them wrong they break. If you buy a good pair of headphones in the same price range that aren't marked up because of the image you will not have a bunch of cheap plastic parts, as you put it. Beats are the first headphones in that price range to market like they do, slapping headphones on celebrities and athletes.

There is a huge difference between the quality of Beats and a real pair of headphones that everyone can notice if they tested them both.

Like I said I have nothing against someone buying the headphones because of how they look because you do notice people wearing the Beats headphones out in public where most headphones in that price range wouldn't be used out of the home. It is a fashion item for a lot of people and it makes them feel good being in public sporting them, good for them.

On the other hand if you believe the hype that they sound good you are a mindless sheep that can't think for themselves.

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.

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.

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.
