It's predictable and unfortunate that every headphones thread on the internet always derails into this.
My own census is that yes, Beats are looks over sound quality, but at the same time I can't fault people for wanting to look stylish when wearing muffins around their ears.
Some people will then say, that everyone looks goofy, even with phones like Beats, and others will disagree to that as well.
In any case, I have yet to see solid suggestions for something that; sounds great, looks great and is priced great. The three greats of headphones. You always seems to be able to get two of these greats, but never three.
You can easily get something that looks and sounds great, but at the cost of a fighterjet. You can easily get something that sounds great and is priced great, but with the looks of a rotten donkey butt.
