Do you think "Beats" Head phones by Dr. Dre are worth it?

ill admit the head phones do feel good and they look well designed! the sound around you literatly just stops.

but is this another item that is over priced on the justification of being well designed? hmm Apple?

    Overpriced, they kind of the hipster headphones, people wear them just because "They're Beats, oh look I can afford overpriced, shitty headphones that give static but they cost a lot so I look cool".

    I use Bose's IE2 audio headphones. They're pretty good and they never fall out of your ears.

    Nope. It is just the brand marketing. They do look like some sort of plastic and youngsters think it looks cool. Tested Dre, Sony and Senheiser, they are all not totally noise cancelling, but have a % of noise reduction that varies among brand. The higher quality would be Senheiser. They look solid and well built. Would probably outlast others.

    Beats have amazing sound quality and are one of the best headphones money can buy,but they are very expensive($300). The thing is there are lots of headphones that have the same sound quality or close to it and cost a lot less. You are really paying extra for the "dr dre" name on the headphones. If you want to buy them it is totally up to you.

    the sound quality isn't really that better than other headphones at a lower price. Some people just buy them because of the name or because they look cool. If you have the money, sure buy them if you want. i personally wouldn't spend that much on headphones. I also heard they break easy.

    Apple headphones are perfectly fine. They are loud if you want them to be, and I'm pretty sure they don't break easily. Plus, someone would rather steal $150 earbuds then $10 earbuds.
