Interestingly, I purchased the Shadow Gray almost exactly a month ago from Best Buy... Maybe these are only new to Apple direct sales?

They’re brand new headphones announced by Microsoft. Same price as Beats.
Why? My Sennheiser Momentums are over 3 years old and as good as the day I got them. Used basically every day. Well made product. I expect to be using them for another ten years.My Bose QC's are on there last leg with warranty, So I'm looking for some new over ear headphone may just grab these..
I am a fan of Apple but their prices are getting stupid. I mean really stupid.
These headphones cannot possibly be worth this much money. Reviews abound about how Beats in general are just 'meh' in sound quality.
Price is the same.Getting to be typical of Apple, add color to the same old device raise the price.
They made that back, and then some, on Apple Music which derives from Beats. And they didn't raise the price of the headphones, so what are you talking about?Just remember - Apple shoveled a B-I-L-L-I-O-N dollars Dr. Dre's way for Beats. They have to get their money back somehow!!

No. A quality pair of headphones should be transparent and accurately reproduce the sound spectrum from the original disc or flac file.It depends on the type of music you listen to if you like hip-hop, r&b or most modern popular music Beats has the ideal sound profile.
The sound on these things is incredible. Other Beats headphones don't really do it for me -- tho admittedly, I do use a paid of Powerbeats3 in the gym, and they are great in that environment. But these Beats actually do have a great sound profile.
I get it that folks are put off by the price, but the pairing tech is probably the main differentiating argument in their favor. Is it worth it, for the sound quality and the pairing? Entirely subjective. But if you are worried that these cans will sound like 'typical beats' then put your mind at ease. In my opinion (I'm no expert but I've used a lot of headphones, from different price points), these are awesome.
Why does it matter? You cannot see the headphones when they are on your headI don't give a fawk what y'all think, that powder blue and gold combo is *drool*
Exactly. I don't buy Bluetooth headphones.Imagine trying to use wireless headphones for 10 years. Your battery would crap out by the 2nd year and youd have a pair of headphones that are about as good as tits on a bull.
I've got the same pair... they're great. But I still think the Bose AE2 have the best comfort (I have those as well).
Why is it that the BeatsX only gets the Lightning cable still?
Apple, you’ve owned Beats for a while now. Drop the micro-USB already.
It's not a brand new model. Just new colors of the same model.Completely agree. It's really puzzling. Sony is using USB-C on the new 1000XM3s. BeatsX use a lighting connector. AirPods are obviously a huge hit. Why would a brand new model of headphones not use USB-C or lightning. Unless there are warehouses full of unsold beats headphones that have been repainted, repurposed, and re-marketed, this is just poor product management.
At Applenprices tjere should be no compromise, they should just be the best
I showed my wife and her first word was gaudy. She asks if i was buying a pair and if they are as good as our Grado's, simple answer hell no!For when you've gotta be gaudy and overpriced at the same time.

I seriously considered the new grado bluetooth model, but the ear pads are apparently garbage, pairing with multiple apple devices would be a pain, and it's open so it will annoy my coworkers. There are always tradeoffs.I showed my wife and her first word was gaudy. She asks if i was buying a pair and if they are as good as our Grado's, simple answer hell no!
