Hell look at a Koss PortaPros which cost me about 30 bucks versus a monster beats at 200 dollars.

hahahahaa oh snap... i have to agree with this person's comment on gizmodo. I am also grateful of monster. I can now see a douche bag/tool by the mere sight of their headphones. Thank you Monster!!

And I think you have the impression these are actually worth the money when all the science says that they're similar in audio quality to headphones that are a a 1/3 of the price.

Of course they're not worth the money, but they're not THAT expensive and the it's a status symbol for the kids...so what the hell. I'm just saying they don't sound absolutely terrible like you're making them out to be.

Audio-Technica for life! Mother@#$%!

I like my A-500s. I want to get a pair of AD-700s for when I need to hear stuff going on around me. Also want some A900s to upgrade the A500s. Really nice cans though.

Remember the response letter from the BlueJeans cables CEO when Monster tried to sue them, claiming they owned the patent for the USB cable, or some shit like that?

:D

Good point. Can't send our lawyer, he's too busy suing air for vibrating to produce sound in willful disregard for Monster's patents over sound reproduction. What a sad joke that company is...

Damn Beats headphones are some god-awful crap, buy a set of Mix Master Mike's instead. They're better in every way.
