            I am dissepointed of the build quality of the beats i bought. But sound quality is verry good. But 4 weeks and sudden one earpropp stopps working. Even my scullcandy lasted longer. And costs 30 bucks. But not the best sound but decent.

                Now everyone who said beats is BS or crap can jump to the ocean. This is recognition for beats brand becoz apple won't buy trash.
                I have HTC with beats and it sounds GREAT. For those who said otherwise perhaps you should get your ears fixed at nearest dentist lol.

                        [deleted post]Or maybe people have tried them expecting something maybe decent and were appauled by the crappy level of audio for such outrageous prices....

                        In the past couple years...They improved a tad. The $150 pairs do not sound like $15 pairs anymore....No joke. No exaggeration. I cannot think of a bigger surprise than I got.

                        And some of the bass filled ones cannot even properly play some vocals without cracking.

                        People say they are crap...because they are over priced crap. For the money you spend on beats you could buy something actually premium.
                        I only bought one Monster pair and that's because they made the smart move of endorsing a Jazz player and it was an actual premium pair. Plus I only paid $75 brand new when they are supposed to be $300.

                            [deleted post]Actually take any headphones for the same money but high brands and they will be of much higher quality than beats. For example: Bose or B&W

                              HTC made their camera pixels bigger, Apple made theirs bigger.
                              HTC focused on audio- acquired Beats then let go of it, Apple now acquired Beats.
                              Apple can see their competition's potential, but the competition does not have the mechanism to pull it through, Apple does.
                              If this Beats acquisition works out for them, they are either great innovators or my conspiracy theory is just plain coincidence. Hmmmm.

                                [deleted post]No, beats do not have good build quality at all. It's built of weak (hard and porous) plastic that cracks easy. Sure there are other fashion brands that are no better, but compared to proper head-fi cans they don't stand a chance. Not on build quality, and not in sound quality. They should have been priced lower to fit the build and sound quality.

                                But by all means, they are better than the OEM buds.

                                I'm rich and can buy just about whatever I want, but I still want value for my money. #BornPoorGrownRich
                                Beats don't fit that requirement. Audio Technica and Beyerdynamic though, they do. As well as dozens of others.

                                      This has to be the biggest fail move by Apple.
                                      Sell your Apple stock now before it's too late.
