Damn people can't read I swear. I clearly asked for beats recommending. Did not include my own reasons buying them which is more important than anything. I also have Internet. I also own serval pairs worth over $200 each. Instead of being 'all that' just answer to the question I asked or remain quite keeping your ego still..
I've done my homework about other brands. Don't be offended putting blame on me for my input. Instead keep it simple and just answer to the question asked. Simple!
Wow. What an unpleasant response, and what an ugly tone to take. A little gratitude rather than rudeness is a better response to those who take the trouble (and time) to respond to an online query.
You asked a question, and framed it in a way which you hoped would give rise to a desired reply. On the first page of this thread, 15 - yes, that is 15 - out of the 25 posts allowed by the format used - offered a variety of alternative suggestions and you respond rudely. Of course, one can always feel free to disagree with whatever responses are made, but disagreement does not have to be couched in discourteous terms.
A few points occur. Rudeness on the part of the OP does not encourage courtesy from others.
You asked opinions from people who have mostly joined this forum because they like, or, are interested in, Apple products. A liking for premium attractively made products is rarely confined to one product. In practice, this means that many who post here have iPods, love music, and have strong views about both. It also means that these strong views (along with much experience of using high end audio equipment) extends to ear-phones and head-phones. Thus, somebody might have a point to make (based on preference and experience) which may be worth heeding.
You asked a question to which 15 people on the first page gave an answer which wasn't what you wanted to hear; there is no call to be rude. Use it as an information gathering exercise instead, and learn some new ideas and information from it.
Anyway, I add my voice to the fifteen; there are many better headphones than Beats in existence, and you might want to know about them. Sennheiser, Audio Technica, Grado, B & W all make very good head phones.
I read your OP but i cant recommend beats without at least advising another brand that is better. If you do infact own several pairs of expensive cans why are you asking such a simple question as it is clear the pro's are the flagship beats? No need to be rude or you will find little help on these forums from me at least.
Very good response, and I'm in agreement with it.
Why not choose some decent headphones? Grado, Audio Technica and AKG are a couple of examples, amongst many brands which make much better headphones.
Beats is pure and utter rubbish with excellent marketing. If that's what you want to waste your money on, then go ahead. All of these celebrity endorsed models are equally rubbish so it does not really matter which awesome Dr Dre headphones you choose. Didn't Beats and Dr Dre have a falling out and somebody else makes his headphones now?
Again, agree completely.
It's definitely not for anybody that loves music. It's the headphones to use if one hates music and only cares about making a fashion statement. It's your money, but people in this thread are simply trying to point out that you could spend the same money on MUCH BETTER headphones. That's what a real music lover would do.
Also do yourself a favour and check out the Audio Quest DragonFly DAC/Headphone amp. But only if you are a music fan.
And again, I agree with you.
