arnold layne Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 They break easy but with that said I've had them the longest. Good bass.And fuck off if you're all going to argue sound quality with me. I don't care. I think they're pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care. I think they're pretty good.Yeah, in all honesty, I could care less about quality of headphones; earbuds are fine with me. The home theater stuff is what I focus on.

They're solid, sturdy and help me do my job. Works for me.Otherwise, I just use earbuds for my iPod while I'm exercising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bran Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 i had my pair for about 10 years now my dad bought me a nice 70s stereo for my birthday one year, it came with a record player, cassette deck and those headphones. i then myself found a 24 disk cd changer that someone was selling at a flea market for 5 dollars they said they didnt know if it worked or not it worked great with my stereo matched the color and everything, the flea market down the road where i live still sells needles for record players so thats coolthose headphones are just sturdy they dont break for nothing lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyman Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Monster is actually a VERY GOOD brand in everything it does. Beats is like it's trendy-cool line. Get the turbine pro if you have the money, it's worth every penny. If you're a sports guy, get the submersion one. It's great too. Better than the BOSE I used to own.I had a pair of Bose that were great but very cheaply made. They snapped in half after a year.Same thing here. The earphone broke by itself, something you would expect from a $50 one. Interesting. I had some over-ear Beats By Dre and they snapped in less than a month. I've had a Bose set for more than a year and a half and they're still in great condition. I did enjoy those Beats By Dre, for the record.

highvoltage Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Motherfuckers don't know about my AKGs...This.Check out Audio-Technica or AKG... both really good brands that offer great sound at reasonable prices.The Dre beats aren't TERRIBLE by any means; they're a good sounding headphone - but they are HIDEOUSLY overpriced and for that kind of money, you can actually start pushing for serious, audiophile-quality headphones that will give you great sound! The point is that you can do a lot better.I used to sell Bose products when I was a teenager in retail and same deal as the dre beats... they sound OK, but there are some seriously great phones out there for that kind of money.

I ALWAYS put them back in the case when I wasn't on the air. Then one day, they just snapped.The cord really wasn't as long as I would have liked/needed anyway.I LOVE the KOSS ones that I have now. I've had them for two years now. They're tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're designer headphones more than anything. Like buying a louis vitton purse, you can absolutely get a better value, but it won't be as pretty and it won't say louis vitton on it. You can get better sound quality for the price of a pair of beats, but they won't be as pretty and they won't say "beats by dre". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projected Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I can't believe that only one person here acknowledged AKG. They are by far my favorite headphones brand. No bass boost, no "making songs sound better" shit. Just CRYSTAL CLEAR sound.High fidelity is all that I care for. I want to hear the song the way the artist intended, not how Dre thinks everything should sound. Never found any headphones that do that better than AKG.

I remember being really pissed because I just got them. If my Bose break, I would definitely consider getting Beats again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostie Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Fuck at Best Buy tried to steer me toward Beats and Bose, which told be to focus on the other ones. I came home with a pair of Klipsh for 150, and was very pleased. Review online said they have the goods of headphones twice the price, even though it's their 1st forray into the headphone market.
