Where in Dublin sells Beats by Dr. Dre?

not city centre but i saw those at sony centre, swords pavillion..

other sony centre in town might stock them too if that helps.

If you care about style over sound quality, grand but if you care about sound quality there is a lot better out there for the same money.

Edit: To be clear, I don't think there's anything wrong with someone valuing style over sound quality. Beats look stunning, they just don't sound good for the money you're laying out.

e.g.

Cheaper, sound better and still look quite decent (imho): http://www.iheadphones.co.uk/audio-technica-ath-m50.html - Reviews etc: http://www.head-fi.org/products/audio-technica-ath-m50-studio-monitor-headphones

More expensive, sound much better but look more utilitarian: http://www.iheadphones.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=hd25&_antispam=antispam_177 (various versions, including some decent enough looking Adidas branded ones if that's your thing) - Reviews etc: http://www.head-fi.org/search.php?search=hd25&currenttab=Product

Others might suggest other headphones for you if you are into sound quality. If you're not, well the Beats do look class.

They look horrible though. Even worse than the Beats . . .

is beats studio for 55euro a good deal?
they're 2nd hand.

Depends very much on the music you listen to. They're approaching "ok" (just very expensive) for rap/hip hop but suck badly for any other kind of music because of the way they're balanced.

Probably fake.

funny story actually, i went on youtube after making that post and surprise surprise they're fake.

its actually the best looking rip off of any sort i've seen though. they sound properly good. the fella i bought them off had them for nearly a year and never had any inkling that they were fake!

Yeah, not subsidising Dre's lifestyle is the kind of thing that'd keep you up at night.

I as I've said elsewhere say, if you're willing to spend so much on headphones just get SEnnheiser HD 25-1-ii

Yarr. Have them and for everything except classical they are a lot of fun.
