Beats headphone is extremely overpriced!
For example the flagship Beats Pro used in recording studio only costs $149 instead of $399.

Here is gsmarena everyone is a poser who pretends to have a mobile shop or repair shop and says that their brand of choice is always better. Android is way unstable compared to IOS , IOS is like a fresh breath fast efficient intuitive. Android is more like do it yourself and somehow clunky. App crashes on a Android are way more often on Android than they happen in IOS. I know that sine people say they have experienced the 1 or 2 app crashes on IOS BUT I have never been able to do that. Where else using some different Android flagship I have been able to inflict lag and app crashes. App crashes are not as often as the pre Jelly bean days but they still are there.

          DR Dre says I’ve always known in my heart that Beats belonged with Apple"??? WTF Really? So had he forgotten that earlier..LMAO.
          Its funny what happens to people when they switch alliances.
          & now he must have done some soul searching since he was not making records, I reckon he must have lot of time to arrive at this conclusion...that " Oh No..This belongs to Apple lemme hand it over rightfully"
          Joke Of the Month.

              So much hate and stupidity here, talking only from envy and frustration. Here are talking a bunch of haters wich never owned and used for a long time a macbook air, pro or a mac pc in general and never listened for a long time carefully at a pair of Beats Pro and Mixr. Look at Acer, Sony, Hp, Sennheiser, Asus, they all have computers and headphones with the exact same price of a macbook air or pro or headphones like beats pro. The most overpriced junks at 200$-300 $ are Sony xb 900, 1000 and Acer or Asus ultrabooks

                    lol, 28 May 2014do research before you talk.. $15 to make them silly headph... more$15 USD
                    then you pay for the researchers who found the way to make them and then pay the people on the production line
                    and then add on the Advertising
                    then the shipping and then you add on the margin for the store and then you have to pay the person selling them to you
                    buying online you need to pay for people to maintain the website and so on so forth
                    people never think of this stuff
                    business doesnt just run off the cost of materials
                    and good employees are not cheap to keep on

                                  AnonD-261903, 28 May 2014Hey Anonymous, what's your point here???the point? you all see only "overpriced" products from apple and beats audio. but you do not see the overpriced products from other brands, wich copied shameless indeed the recipe of success of beats and apple and follow like dogs their steps and try to launch similar products, with copied design. so look at asus zenbook and hp envy and spectre how they made copy-paste from apple macbook air,pro and all-in-one apple pc design. look at the headphones of sony xb line, sony mdr-1r, jvc xx line, sennheiser momentum, yamaha pro 500, pioneer se-mx9 and mj741, denon. check these out !!! you must be blind or hater to not see the similarities of these "normal" brands products with apple and beats "overpriced" products style. when you are poor, even a snickers is overpriced
