New Rising Media writes "Allow me to propose a scenario to you. You purchase an iPod and begin listening to music through the earphones that come as standard with the product. Now that the minimalist white design isn't such a fashion statement anymore, it's lifted the veil on a search for audio quality, which is still driven by looks; but under a different rule to before: bigger is better.
No this isn't an intended double entendrè for rambunctiously promiscuous females, it's a trend that returns us to the use of cans. Over-exemplified headphones of the on-ear variety, with an over-compensating design ethic.

overrated headphones with an over rated product 9 times outta 10.
Look at the specs of the Dre: Frequency: 20-20000 hz. Cost: $300
I've been using the in-ear Sony MDR-XB40EX for years now, and look at it's specs: Frequency: 4-24000 hz and my latest pair cost about £29.99 on eBay.
In short, Dre headphones sound like your listening to your music from a tincan string telephone for $300, while the Sony earphones actually have real bass to them, sound incredible and only cost me £30.
What kind of person buys rapper headphones
The funny thing is I love hip-hop.....
....I'm just not stupid :-)
The Monster Beats never were worth it . Only useful thing it got , over regular audiophile headsets , is control talk but that's just a fancy gadget .
It is ridiculous to pay multiple hundreds on a headset with the sound you can find on a 50$ one or even better in the case of a Sennheiser
I don't see the huge difference, I may use Tritton AX Pro's for my PC but when I am on the go a simple $5 pair is fine.
