So thats the geezer who's responsible for the dog awful, overpriced, cheaply made over rated headphones.
Bose and Beats are crap - there is no argument. We can try and educate kids about getting scammed in life by helping fading celebrities get richer but why bother let them learn, let them spend hundreds on crap headphones only to discover later that what they really needed was the headphones the artists use in the studio - SONY MDR-7506 for $99 they're professional not consumer, they're neutral not artificial. But if children want to play puppet drone let em, let them learn like we did, life's a short ride if I could do it all over again I'd listen to people warning me about buying ego driven celebrity endorsed *****
Meh. While I agree with you to an extent, I have some AKG Q701's, and while they're, well, they're AKG Q701's, they also have their cons. I've got some Beats by Dre, too. They're plenty good for the average user, and they have their cons. Everyone listens to music differently, but the headphones aren't nearly as bad as people make them out to be.
I think it is because they don't make enough money to be able to afford them.
Maybe you should learn how to listen to Rap music.
Maybe you're not cool enough for em.

Aren't we all.
Heh, before I saw this article, I thought Beats were made by the Monster Cable people they seem to use similar marketing strategies.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beats_Electronics)Its products were manufactured under exclusive license by consumer electronics company Monster Cable since 2009. Beats has not renewed its five year contract with Monster, which ended late 2012. The company now manufactures all of its products themselves.
Unles apple plans on adding a spotify like service where we can CHOOSE what songs we want then no thanks on and service from apple
Why the hell would I want to pay apple for a pandora radio program?
Dr Dre, Birdman, Jay-Z, 50 cent
These are just some names with a higher net worth than any of the artists you listen to. Maybe all the artists you listen to combined. They also invested in a lot of ventures outside of music. Dre with Beats. 50 cent with Vitamine Water. Jay-z...
The best part of Spotify is that they even have ancient out of print stuff and are international.
Try that from the US itunes store!
Sennheiser is a cheaper Bose? What? Seriously? You're joking, right?
Bose is at the very bottom of the totem pole when it comes to quality. They're so far at the bottom they're fighting with Beats to get a peak out from under the dirt just so someone will notice them.
Sennheiser is light years beyond Bose. Sennheiser, Audio Technica, Grado, AKG.. all names that are so much better than Bose in every way possible that there literally is no comparison between Bose and the other brands.
This: http://intellexual.net/bose.html article is still relevant today. Bose is pure junk and no one would should buy their products. I recently had a car salesman try to push a car with a Bose audio system as a perk. I asked him if he'd knock money off because of the junk audio system pre-installed and he stormed off.
Bose is pure, unadulterated junk.
It may just be your opinion but:
I've never read so much BS in one post before.
Wow, you seriously have no idea what you're talking about. Sennheiser are one of the most respected headphone companies in the world and produce some of the best headphones, ask any audiophile. Bose are no different to beats overpriced crap, the only thing they have going for them is their marketing and a good example of that is the statement you just made.
Invested in? Invested in... I think what you mean is their Agents/producers/labels use them to market certain sounds and certain products to certain demographics... which makes me wonder if Jimmy is also the man behind this...
And incredibly bad headphones that have been marketed brilliantly.
I call BS.
Now that Jobs is dead, you're going to see allot of people coming out and saying, "I told Steve to do this and I told Steve to do that." etc. etc.
Iovine is a business man. If he had such an awesome idea, he'd have kept it and tried to develop it himself. IMO.
He certainly saw the business opportunity to involve himself with a overpriced, mediocre product like Beats.
No. You are wrong. You were born wrong. Lived wrong. And I am trying to save you from dying wrong!
I'm a huge audiophile. I owned every "good" headphone on the planet.
Comparing the three listed, Bose beats all of them in sound quality. This is from expericing listening to a wide range of music. The QC15 always sounded better and were ALWAYS most comfortable. How about you buy all three headphones and try it yourself for half a year. Because that's what I did. Bose was best in that case.
.
The claim of "huge audiophile" and being pro-bose are not compatible!
I'd normally not bother to respond, bu your obnoxious 'born wrong, live wrong' to fellow poster indicate you yourself are in need of some education.
Bose has partly hung on to some of there former value in the noise reduction technology presently used in cans for flying businessmen - I will give you that. But otherwise, bose is a over hyped (but super well marketed, they got you hook line and sinker after all) bottom feeder in the audio business.
I think it's funny that so many people are bashing on Beats products, it's like everyone hates this product for some reason... Frustrated much?
Nope. You're wrong too.
Compare the QC15 to Beats and Sennheisers with the same price tag, and the QC15 will sound better. It's also about comfort. When you listen to music for a long time you don't want the blood in your head to boil or your ears crushed by crappy cushions.
I factored everything in. The complete experience down to the frequencies that are pumped into your ears. Bose, between three in its class, wins.
Educate yourself. I can crush you with the flick of a wit.
I think it is frustration...
This of it like this, hypothetically... If people began to evangelize eMachines over Macs because eMachines came out with super marketing.
You'd be frustrated too if you saw your friends (and forum buddies) falling hook, line and sinker for the marketing hype and buying trash product as a result.
Ironically, this example turned out weird, because Apple is a super marketer too, it's just fortunate that they also make great product!

I wanted to reply to give you the satisfaction of knowing that I read your reply; because I doubt you have much else satisfying in your sorry little life. And I'm all about making you as happy as possible.
They make really bad products. It's just that simple.
Not frustrated much at all. Just pointing out an inferior product and taking a stand against the propaganda machine promoting this hype.
Rappers don't even make quality music. Why should we trust them to make good products ?
Sorry "Dr." Dre ....But you didn't even pass MIDDLE SCHOOL , much less high school or college. Why exactly would I trust you to produce anything of quality ? ? ?
