So are we going to have news posts about these crappy products all time now that Apple have bought them?
I don't know what people's problem with Beats is, I own a pair of the Solo HD's and they are brilliant, very durable and the sound is great. Yea they are bass heavy but they also work great with other types of music, I listen to all different types of music and I love Beats.
The biggest acquisition in Apple's history was just announced. I want Beat's DNA in my news feed.
No prob. My suggestion was not to censor Beats news, but curate it in its own place just like sports is in the sports section of a paper, movies reviews in entertainment, etc,
Agree...I enjoy the sound as well. I am pleased with this acquisition.
I actually think beats headphones look great.
The term "race card" was created by those who don't like being called out for saying ignorant things.
I've been very pleased with the sound of my Beats Wireless, ESPECIALLY while using them with apt-X. They are light, comfortable and sound good to my ears playing AAC and MP3 files on a portable device. The BT range is outstanding (I am REALLY sick of being tethered to a device by a wire getting caught on door knobs, bedposts and just about ANYTHING they can possibly get snagged on). They are particularly good for watching movies...the sound can rattle your brainI double agree. Save for the MIXR and Executive, they are by far the most comfortable headphones I've ever owned. My clients love them and I love them.
And I've used all models of Beats, except the Solo, and they are excellent. My wife and I even own a Pill each and we have gotten compliment on the Pill sound without our guests even knowing it was a Beats Pill. The overall EQ of the Pill is far more comfortable for modern music at casual volumes than say, the Bose sound link mini, which is the same price.
No, that's not how it works. The bass-heavy music already has increased bass in the recording compared to other genres. Increasing AGAIN with your headphone design is over-the-top. Plus, they probably crank the bass a 3rd time in the iPod or other source's settings. People don't understand that hardware should be sound-neutral. The extra increase with hardware designs like this sound horrible.
Also, the bass boost is not linear, and is in (IMO) a silly range of bass to increase. At my house, I pound out 20Hz (which I cannot personally hear, but I can feel) at the same loudness as 50Hz and 100Hz, as far as possible in my room. The real low-end is way more visceral than cranking 50Hz three times.
Did Apple tell them that boosting the bass isn't what makes good headphones?
Beats suck when you consider the performance for what you pay.
But they did something very important, they made expensive headphones mainstream which means that other companies have released more expensive products due to the rise in high end headphone consumers.
I myself use a Yamaha Pro 500, it's the most uncomfortable headphone EVER but I added some extra padding and it's really usable. Sound is top notch.
Can I just, again, point out that insinuating the people who buy Beats are having the wool pulled over their eyes is a little silly? There are plenty of people out there (apparently something like 40% of the market in the US) that listen to music that is enhanced by the bass-heavy aural qualities of Beats headphones. Neutral headphones wont give you that kind of response, and Beats isnt targeting people that want a neutral, natural response.
So for some people, Beats are way better quality than those Grado cans you would buy. Not for you, obviously, but Ill bet you dont listen to much hip hop. Just an offhanded assumption I made.
"Yea they are bass heavy".
That's the point, that is why they are bad.
Speakers/headphones, etc. should not be 'heavy' in any one way or the other. They should be accurate - allowing the musician or producer's vision of there song to come through.
*IF* you tend to like overstated bass, then you can crank up the bass in the player's equalizer.
There is such a thing as context. I was referring to people who haven't even used the product. You even quoted my post and left that out.
So, first, they (I say they, I mean we, because I listen to some very heavy bass from time to time) listen to bass heavy music pretty much for the sole purpose of the bass. Kinda like a dance club. For that genre of music, blasting the treble at the same volume as the bass would sound terrible. Ive tried it. Its not pretty. And especially in headphones, that kind of sound gives me headaches.
And actually, I thought (after an hour or so of listening) that the increased bass of the Beats was quite linear and very predictable. The biggest thing I liked about them was that sounds down to 20 Hz and even a touch below were very tonal, as produced by a tone generator. I could actually HEAR the notes instead of just feeling them. Its the only time Ive experienced that when not standing directly in front of the long pipes on an organ.
I wouldnt recommend Beats to most people, because of the price (you can get close to that kind of bass for much less elsewhere). But if you really enjoy some crazy bass, and I mean crazy, then you cant get better cans.
So you'll just ignore all the ignorant comments about Rap/Hip Hop and Dr. Dre's past right?
Indirect racism is even worse than just coming out and saying how you really feel.
I like how you say 'your' failures. How do YOU know he's failed at anything? He could be white for all you know. You know nothing of actual racism because you choose not to know. And that's okay. Because people who are aware will speak out about it whether you like it or not.![]()
Save a bunch and try a set of Audio Technica ATH-M50's.

You will find a lot of people find the Bose to be better sounding than the Beats Pill. I have both and prefer the sound of the Bose.
