Bose exchange for beat? Must be jocking

    Rareart1, 07 Oct 2020 I remember the first time i heard Beasts Studio 1 headphon... moreseems like you are a Beats fan based on the number of Beats headphones you bought.
    I still have a Beats studio original but tbh, Beats are never category 1 headphones even after apple bought them.

      Funny movement but OK.
      Rather would have Bose or others which apple were selling on their stores than fake china products disguised with american logo on it.

        I imagine one day apple will make garbage headphones the same price as the Focal Utopias and all of a sudden it will be OK to charge that much.

              If they were wired cans I’d be livid if I paid more than 100€ for them

                I remember the first time i heard Beasts Studio 1 headphones. I thought they were the best headphones i have ever heard. I then bought, 2, counterfeit beats models (1 earphone and 1 headphone)- both unknown to me, until after buying them. At that point, I bought a pair of beats studio 2 store demo... but i never was able to find out which ac adapter i needed to buy to use them ... and the eBay I got them from, didn't know which to buy for them ...they are collecting dust as i type this. Enter 2019 - i finally got a pair of beats i could use - a non counterfeit, pair of beats studio 3 wired store demo model with no need for an ac adapter. They're okay actually.

                  Remember boys. I believe back in 2010 - 2013. Flagship Beats were used to be made of cheap plastic, and has cylindrical iron weights inside to give off a more premium feeling while sounds universally bad according to all the audiophiles. I don't know if they're still doing it now but for eight years, Apple could've spent more billions on optimizing and improving the audio that can become as good as a Sennheiser, Astell & Kern, Bang and Olufsen and Audio-Technica but nope. Brand isn't everything.

Same for Logitech. I even now have logitech G430 headphones for like 3 years already or something like that. Philips not expensive too. Sony have few that are more expensive but i even have had Sony headphones. I have just broken most of my headphones. My first skull candy headphones lasted only half a year and they just broke down. the lowest quality of construction i have ever seen. Even 10 euro Panasonics full cup headphones last longer and are pretty much unbreakable compare to these skull candy i had. I dont have much of experience with wireless but i have some cheap not full cup headphones that are wireless and cost only like 20 euro but had big battery in them New Bee NB-9

                          M3S4, 06 Oct 2020 Beats = crap quality audio. Everyone know that.Clearly you don’t know that beats under Apple sounds very different than what they were before Apple. I tested beats solo pro and those sounded really good. And based on reviews others agree with that.

It sounds like you think Apple users are forced to buy stuff only available in Apple Store? :) if we want bose we go to another store and buy bose, or Logitech etc. I don’t really understand your comment.

                              Apple is trying hard, at least they have their fanatics to buy their devices.

                                    For audiophile, there's some stereotypes we know.

                                    Overprice fashion: beats, skullcandy.
                                    Overprice : bose, b&o, Marshall.
                                    Not audiophile : logitech, sonos.
                                    Audiophile : sennheiser, shure, audio technica, sony, phillips, grado, focal, fostex, klipsch, akg, sony, etc.

                                    Those audiophile headphone are not cheap, but expensive doesn't mean better than cheaper one.

                                      No surprises here. Bad for Apple fanboys, because both Bose and Logitech have really good products, and sometimes better than what Apple offers.

I know that for the same money i can get way way better sound quality headphones then these airpods or what ever they are called. I prefer a known brand that is making audio product, over a software company that innovates by taking existing products then slap there logo on them and give it 1000% price tag
