i might rob him tbf

I am fine with people thinking that HD25's are ugly, less of a chance of them getting stolen.

Anyone who buys beats by dre headphones not only deserves to be robbed but deserves to be elbowed as hard as possible across the side of the face (in that it's gonna actually cut you open type of way)

It's like if Porsche started selling a carboard boxes with a badge on as a car for £50 000 and then someone bought it. Nothing but status over quality.

They're head accessories.

pardon the pun

I feel ashamed that I know quite a few people who have these. No matter how many times I tell them to get HD25's they always say that the sound quality is 'SO MUCH BETTER' despite probably never even hearing a pair of HD25's in their life. I've even had one kid turn round to me and say he got the Beats because of their 'build in sub woofer', I didn't even dignify that with a response, could only walk away.

I have a friend who asked me to give recomendation for headphones.
I complied a list of 5 or so but basically said Tma-1's would be the best bet.

Nowhere on the list was Beats.
She passes it onto her family (xmas gift) and after xmas I saw her with Beats

I assumed from your old avatar that you were a big fan of beats

speaker specifications for the macbook pro according to my stores website reads 'built in subwoofers'

But they don't really do they?

Like there's a rush to judge the people that bought the headphones and deride the choice because people here are heavily invested in music and think the headphones are shit when the story is really about kids being robbed. Whether people want to be going round various areas with $300+ on their head is another matter but they don't deserve to be robbed or elbowed in the face for brand of headphones worn.

However stick with the superiority bullshit and be glad that you're so much better informed than the people who've bought them.

No but as the OP's quote points out, it is advertising the fact you have something of high value and may be ignorant to the notion that others may be brash enough to simply want to take them from you. Right or wrong, this is the state of society we are currently living in and naivety isn't favoured.

Everyone wearing beats knows they are about image not sound quality.
Big shock that they get stolen.

I don`t go around with my Beyerdynamics on.
