DeadlyDasher wrote @The OP, buy whatever color you want, don't listen to what everyone says.

Beats are like Call of Duty. Everyone says it's(Call of Duty) bad, but if it was bad, why would people buy them in the first place?

The reason that people buy both those products is because they are what's "cool". They are basically also the most advertised things so people see them the most. When's the last time you saw an Audio-Technica ATH-M50 commercial? You haven't ever, but they could wipe the floor with beats any day of the week. Modern consumers are suckers for media, and also prefer looks over practicality.

OP, if you want to look like a supah' kool gangsta on the street, go for it. But just know that there are WAY better things out there, R00t and Ishcabible could spew on for hours about it, trust me

Nobody will/should hire you if you use Beats in your studio.

Just skip to 1:40. But let me guess, you know more then someone who is actually a famous rapper?

You really think they know the first thing about audio and that they weren't obviously sponsored by Monster/Beats Electronics? Hook, line, and sinker. Gotta hand it to that marketing team, they sure know how to dupe the masses.

I really don't care if they were sponsored. That's a studio, and they're using Beats.

There's not even anything to master, even if Beats were good for it. It's a stupid bassline and a crappy vocoded voice track with some effects.

I could pay a few rappers to use iBuds in a studio and pretend like they're making music. Would that make those good?

I don't think you could pay them enough to use iBuds. I've seen plently of artist in recording studios on youtube using beats, and I don't see them *****.

It doesn't matter what headphones I pay them to use. I could pay them to use any crap headphones like Beats and they wouldn't think twice. I can factually prove that Beats are terrible for production use.

The fact that a few rappers use them in a studio in a video commissioned by Beats means nothing.

A few rappers using them means more than some random people on TTG.

Personally I love the Black when you have the red cable in I think they look they're best.

Numbers don't lie. You have no argument because you can't refute facts. These are bad headphones for production, period. It's not even up for debate because it's not a matter of opinion. Whether they're good for simple music enjoyment is another story, but cheaper headphones still run circles around them. If you'd like more evidence or testimonies from sources well-known in the headphone world, I can get them for you.

Do you think these rappers care about numbers? Only thing they care about is how good it sounds, aka "real world usage."

OP, I go to UGA. I see a lot of white people using them and they don't look lik e"supah' kool gangsta." If you buy them because of name brand, go ahead. That's the same reason people buy Nike shoes and other name brand clothing.

Not worth $500...........

Hardly worth $50.... And really your paying for only the name...and of course all the mud they shove into the speakers because apparently nobody likes highs, the only important part of songs is the bass -_- "who cares if it sounds like 2 autistic robots getting it on, the bass is supah cool". People these days man. If I wanted $500 dollar mud machines, I'd by gold plated itunes earbuds -_-

Denying facts backed up by measurements and graphs?

&@%# logic.

You lost every iota of credibility of what little you had left with that post. I guess the pros are idiots for using the Sennheiser HD800 to pick out details in their recordings. I mean, you don't see Soulja Boy rocking those, do you? Nah, they're definitely idiots.

If you're trolling, you done good. I can always pick up on headphone trolls after all my experience, but you may have gotten me.

EDIT: One thing you'll pick up on immediately in the world of consumer tech is that popularity has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the product.
