I am no audiophile but I heard Beats are more status symbol than quality.

It is only a five letter word...

That is about all most coaches and players in the NFL can deal with at one time....

Bose is overpriced junk.

Yep. I’d go for Senheisser or AKG over them.

Heck, I still like my old pair of Koss Pro4aa’s.

Have beats on my PC (pre installed)..

Better sound quality comes from two cans and a string....

They do one thing: Bass. They are worthless for a balanced listening experience.

I have Beyerdynamic DT880s and wouldn’t ever consider BBD phones. If you like 808 lick drums and Dubstep BBD are great. Anything else? Nope.

Unfortunately, the NFL is facing a restraint of trade lawsuit from Apple (who owns the Beats brand) because they chose to do it right in the middle of the season. They should have imposed this before the regular season started.

Given the NFL's innumerable legal troubles lately, it might be a good idea to back down on this.

Not Nike? Quick, Nike, buy some cheap brand like Audiovox, slap a swoosh on it and spend $100 million on advertising.

Lousy headphones.

Pressed bass, not accurate.

Miserable response in the mid-spectrum, completely erasing much of what you should be hearing.

High-end like steam coming out of a pipe,

no natural separation in terms of basic sound reproduction,

ZERO credibility except for “BIG BOOMY BASS.”

If all you listen to is rap music and all you want is to have nails driven into your ears whilst listening to AM-fidelity cussing, may I recommend “BEATS BY DR DRE.”

For a far lower price you could have any number of far superior headphones.

Ahh but then again you wouldn’t be cool like “Dr Dre.”

They’re all obnoxious as hell. For God’s sake, be a grownup and come out from behind your audio blinders, you overpaid game-players!

Beats are absolute garbage. Sennheiser, Audio Technica, and Bose are the only headsets to touch this audiophile’s noggin.

Beats are all name. Dre got himself a great deal with some Chinese garbage drivers with his logo and name all over them. If you look at pictures of him in a studio, he’s using $2,000 Audio Technica or AKG circumaural headphones.
