i just bought these "beats by dr dre"...
Celebrity endorsed marketing gimmick and everything aside, they're actually pretty sweet & super comfy. Very honest representation of the sound, especially the bass. It's not a gross "bass boost" or anything either it just allows the existing bass to come through a lot more. The point that sold me was when i was testing with my ipod and i went to Surripere by autechre.... don't think i've ever heard it sound so good.
Though I almost had to pass because the sales guy kept caling me bro and requesting i refer to him as "brother brown", or just "ferocious". I'm still a little skeptical of em actually... probably because they're called beats by dr dre or maybe cuz they were $300..
time to work on something and report back in the future#@!$

Oh my... seriously?
I tried these things on when passing through a local Best Buy. These may be a worse value than the Bose "Tri Port" headphones. At $350, these may be worth $99 based on the sound and build quality.
For $99 I can buy an AKG K240. Why the fuck would anybody purchase these monstrous sounding things, especially at the price?

haha yeah. seriously.
they're not that bad! Not worth the money though, true. But they do sound good.
Why the fuck i bought them:
1. they were a hundred dollars off...
2. I secretly grew quite fond of this ferocious guy throughout his sales pitch. Very similar to the brown guy from 40 year old virgin who says "pussy juice cocktail" and "rusty trombone".. we pounded fists like 4 times within the first 10 minutes of meeting so uh think about it
3. also i'd been walking in the hot hot sun and was desperate and delusional, i only slept for 30 minutes last night somehow, throw that in the mix.
3.5. Maybe my closet hip-hop personality will come to form more easily now
4............. i should have not bought these... i have no job or anything really - basically all the qualities of a homeless, yellar, no-good man except with a home. Especially the drinking of 40's

Eh, I guess I did come off a bit harsh though. In reality, if you're happy with the purchase that's all that matters in the end.
I'd like to listen to these in a studio setting... maybe they're more of an analytical can than a listening one. Plus, judging from an iPod with no headphone amp is a bit impractical, no?

haha no worries. Mind you, impractical is my middle name
I'm no headphone connoisseur, but from what i can tell already the spectrum of highs and lows that these offer are way better than what my last few pairs of SONY/Audio Technica Headphones have had.
Regardless if i just blew a wad, of unnecessary cash or not.. i'm pretty sure i'll be happy with these for a couple years.
O i almost forgot to mention it comes with a once in a lifetime "Monster Clean Cloth with Aegis Microbe Shield", i bet you wish you had one or two of those.

if there's ever a celebrity who i will endorse it's probably going to be dre. don't ask me why, but i bet it's that introverted silent type thing he got going on which makes him more trustworthy than say...kanye vuitton

Eminem is just as fake of a gangster as fanilla ice. Just a modern take on the old lets get white people to buy our gay music scam. Dre and snop doppy dop be dissin real niggasz 'n' shit, but who eminem be dissin? Well, he can't be dissin niggasz of cose, cuz they'd just run a train on his ass werd. So he just dissas the ladies and the backstreet boyz in him lyrics lika faggit.

That "brown guy" killed a few people, so be wary of the "ferocious" salesman hanging out by your window wanting to fist bump with his hunting knife.

You know, I am glad you are happy with your purchase and all. But I would never buy monitors that make my iPod music sound the 'best I have ever heard them'. Monitors aren't about making your music sound good.

Sorry, I can't really take any headphones endorsed by celebrity seriously, even Dre.
Waiting for the HD-800's to be released and will probably buy them to replace my HD-650's (which are looking a little battered these days, but still work a charm)
