Well the ones telling you to get something else are helping you from getting the curdled milk instead of the fresh milk. ;) They seriously aren't worth it. Trust us. I have about 50 different headphones and I even have some $15 ones that do what Beats do better than they can. It's all just hot air and preying on the gullibility of consumers. You can either make the smart choice and do some more research and save some money or you can make the choice the profiteering company wants you to make.

The fakes are better than the real ones!
I have 4 pairs of fakes (2 studio, 2 solo) and 2 reals (studio/solo)

The reals fall apart easily and the sound quality just isnt worth the price

Ishcabible wrote Err...have you seen a pair of snapped ones? That's literally impossible to fix elegantly. You can't get replacement parts for it because Monster is stupid/brilliant and does not allow you to swap them out. That, and they don't work without batteries (incredibly stupid idea for a pair of headphones); have an undamped, rattly housing, which shows you that they put no effort into making them sound good; and just sound pretty mediocre for the price. But don't take my word for it, read what this man has to say: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

He's one of the most prominent people in the headphone business, so he knows his stuff. The one that says not to let anyone convince you otherwise is just...no.

I read some of that. But Literally, its impossible to tell anyone about buying ANY set of headphones... Its a risk. Its like trying to tell a blind person where the ketchup is in the fridge.... Thanks tho

You'd be surprised how easy it is, actually. There is something for everyone out there. If you fill out the form here:

That's all the info I need.

I mean I just got Solo beats and they are decent but i only got them because my local Best Buy didnt have ATH-M50s :/

Wait until Executive Beats come out.

In ear ?

if in ear i have then

Worth the money

Wait, wait, wait. Are you serious? Take them back, and order the M50s online. The Solos are on of the worst-sounding pieces of garbage I've ever had the displeasure of listening to. I kid you not, it was a traumatic experience. I was and am disgusted.

Never buy headphones at Best Buy unless they are Sony XB700/XB500s, to be honest. They're all they have that are noteworthy.

Not gonna lie; those things look pretty nice. If they priced them in line with the Bower and Wilkins P5 I'd be first in line to try them, but I have my doubts that they'd actually sound awesome. But they could have hired the engineers for the Turbine Pros to make them, so you never know.

And the in ears are REALLY not worth the money. $180 can get you top tier IEM's. The Tours are low-fi at best.

And to the person that got Solos, return them and trade them in for the Koss ProDJ100. I actually like those more than the M50's for like half the price.

I actually saw an HD650 tucked away at a Best Buy in a swanky town. I had a minor aneurysm. I guess stock depends on the town.
