Lipstick on a pig. Thank goodness there's nologo on this thing.
Other than personal bias, what are you basing this on?

Yet plenty do. May not be their first choice, and certainly not their only choice, but most all self confessed audiophile people I know have a Bluetooth set of headphones, and many are quite happy with the other recent beats Bluetooth ones. Expensive? Yes. Perfect? No. But plenty of audiophile friends of mine say they are the best sounding wireless noise cancelling cans on the market.
The most annoying part about my Beats Studio (v2) Wireless is the fact that I have to use Micro-USB for charging instead of Lightning. I hope Apple will toss a Lightning port on these as I've got Lightning cables lined up all-round my apartment but no Micro-USB. Having to put up one extra just for the sake of my girlfriend and I using Beats Studio Wireless with our iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
In terms of overall looks, feel, ergonomics and audio quality the Beats Studio (v2) Wireless is quite good. The audio quality is not on pair with my high-end Westone 4R IEM's but they are quite good. The noise cancellation is good.

Apple does seem to be trying very hard to go after that demographic.
They're "cool" ya know. Hm.. just who is the gold watch really aimed at? Dre be Dre! my homie!!!
luvin it lol luvin
Nothing like high gloss red to look totally cheap.
I've never liked Beats, was appalled when Apple bought them, and now even more disappointed that their first revision look like crap. Oh well, another £250 saved from not buying them. I'd rather have Sennheiser.

I returned the Studio wireless yesterday because I found the bass (although better than previous models) boomy and the mid-range very, very weak. Now using the new Bose SoundLink on-ear and the audio quality is Much better.
No,not at all. My biggest concern was comfort. I needed something that felt good and stayed on my head while I ran 6.5 miles a day. I do that everyday 5 days a week. So for me it was all about comfort. I'll be honest though,I have replaced the leather parts that cover your ear last month. Those started peeling,but I bought mine back in 2010. I'm due for a new pair anyways. The very top part that's sits on your head,the leather has started peeling there too. But hey,I've almost had them 5 years.....
Seems to me only the right person can wear Beats headphones..
posers..
No matter how you dress em up, Beats reputation is all about being a flash git not cool..but then I suppose it takes all sorts.
why oh why did the Apple top brass buy this over hyped crap it's everything Apple products aren't - a hyped up plastic product claiming to be premier goods. Maybe they are learning from Samsung! Or maybe it's the guy that thought putting the U2 album in everyones account was a good idea..

A cap does the same thing.
If you always cover/heat your head all the time, your body will think "I don't need hair over there". It doesn't seem to work everywhere on your body though
At 65, and being a prime demographic for skin cancer, I've rarely left the house without a hat on my head. I have a full head of hair. Except for rare occasions the cause of hair loss is mainly genetic.
