Never, under any circumstances, should anyone buy Beats.

No. My friend got them and it broke in less than 4 hours of use. Get Bose. My brother got them for Christmas and they're amazing.

Bose headphones are just as bad as Beats in the sense that they're ridiculously overpriced and under-performing.

I mean.... beats are OK definitely not worth the money. Im more than likely taking them back today.

Beats by Dre suck, They break wayyyy to easy

Taken from my other thread:

You'll notice that there are no references to Beats. There's a reason for that. I own roughly 50 (fifty) headphones, I've heard at least 50 more. They. Are. Not. Worth. Crap. The Solos and Studios anyways. And the Tours. The Pros are okay, but they sound like headphones in the $150 range, and they're still breakable.

Here's what I think of the Solos: The Solos successfully give you neither deep bass nor clear sound. They're probably the worst value anywhere Even for $30 they'd be a sketchy buy since they sound so hilariously bad. I didn't really like my Klipsch Image Ones stock-it was so muddy that I've seen cleaner pigs, and they still handily beat the Solos. I don't mind the Studios or Pros, but the Solos are a crime to aural cavities everywhere. I preferred the JVC Marshmallows to them. They're a $5 earphone. The Solos are that tragically horrible. I could go on for hours about how much of an embarrassment to the hobby the Solos are, being outclassed by even Monster's cheapest products, but I'll save my time. But seriously, don't ever consider them.

The Studios are a bit of an embarrassment too. They're touted as being "what the artist intended." That's cool, if the only thing you listen to is rap for the rest of your life. What does Dre know about Miles Davis? Do you really think Miles wanted the sting bass to be louder than his trumpet? The Studios sound nothing like real life. Frankly,I've never head a headphone that sounds like real life. The closest I've ever gotten was the $700 Hifiman HE500, and they still didn't sound like real life. If they were marketed as a bassy headphone, I'd be fine with that, but the last thing we need is a bunch of teenie boppers who think bass is the only thing important with the sound mastering the music of the future. That's what Beats are essentially doing, and they're killing the music industry with that. In addition, they're advertised as having deep bass. No they don't. They don't even reach past 30hz, which I barely consider deep. They have midbass, which absolutely any headphone can provide. Don't even get me started on their midrange and treble. I don't mind how they sound, it's just that they sound like $50 headphones with a $300 price tag.

They're tacky as sin and have garbage quality. Read the thread.

Yes but I would recommend the studios there INSANE

Root beer will disagree

Anyone with my experience would. I don't attribute Beats' success to stupidity, just lack of exposure. Stupidity definitely plays some part, though, as does susceptibility to marketing.
