The big Beats thread

PPC

I've a set of http://www.ultrasone.com/index.php/en/products/pro-900.html and they have much deeper bass compared to Beats.
Sony MDR-XB 500 and 700 are meant to be bass monsters as well.

Those ultrasone look class but out of my price range:mad:
Don't like the look of the sony ones. I think I might stick to beats or streets by 50 will have to see which ones are the better headphones when listening to them in PC World but the 50 ones seem a better build.

I see a lot of people slate beats by dre on this forum but found them a lot better for my music taste than sennheizers for the same price.

I've not compared both but listened recently to the AKG K619 DJ headphone and was very impressed by the depth of bass, nice headphones for the price (about €120).

Thanks a lot, going to go with these ones and get the three year warranty for 20 quid as well, reviews look great for the price!

Just wondering if these beats are fake?
http://www.beatsukmart.org.uk/christmas-monster-beats-solo-hd-headphones-with-controltalk-black-best-sale-uk-p-68.html

And if they are does anyone know if they're really bad quality, or would still be decent headphones?

Where would be the cheapest place to get legitimate ones?

Of course it's fake. Just look at the website, it's rubbish. Not to mention the verify part at the bottom of the page is just an image and doesn't link to anything that verifies the site is legit.

There is no telling how good the quality is of these fake headphones. You might not even send you anything and just steal your money.

That's exactly my point, I personally think my Senheiser HD205's which cost around €40 could compeate with a pair of Beats Solo's

GavMan

Picked up a set of Beats Studio 2.0 on a trip to Boston last week. $300 in the apple store. Worked out at €230. Seen they are €350 in Currys. Heck of a saving.

I had a pair of Beats Studio before I got them I have to say, they are a 20 fold increase in quality. Original beats were good and criticism of them was mainly nitpicking IMO, but these blow them out of the park.

I wasn't gonna buy them until I tried them on my phone in store and I just knew I had to get them there and then. So glad

GavMan

In saying that, they're not worth €350. If you can get them state side, do

I don't tend to speak out against beats, I don't care what other people want to spend their money on when it doesn't effect me in the slightest, but to say any criticism of them was nitpicking is an absolute farce - exemplified by your following statement that the new ones blow the old ones "out of the park"

Really?...you thought, and still think, criticism of the old beats was nitpicking despite also thinking the new ones blow the old ones out of the park...how can that make any sense to you?

Yes, I thought the original Studios were good and that the criticisms were mainly nitpicking until I tried the new ones. Perhaps I didn't make that clear enough.
