Love these headphones. Best for head gear, but for speakers, go for the Soundsticks, they are gorgeous and sound incredible.

The Rapper Headphone Conspiracy

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.

You can sell it, smash it, bin it all you want, the fact that the Beats branded goods accounted for 51% of the headphone market in 2011 says they got away with a pretty good scam. The sad part is hipsters don't even know what they bought into.

Anyone who buys those Beats by Dr Dre is a total idiot.

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

I'll stick with my Sennheiser's

Was looking for a pair of bluetooth wireless headphones and my friend told me to try a version of Beats by Dr Dre, so a borrowed a pair off a friend.......wanted to slap him!!! How the hell does something that feels so cheap cost nearly £300?!!! The bloody thing was creaking and the audio quality did not justify the crazy price tag!!! Gave thenm back and after a LOT of research I settled on the Nokia BH950i's which are brilliant, sound, and looks quality (Leather and metal) and cost me half as much!

The funny thing is I love hip-hop.....

....I'm just not stupid :-)
