Hey, guy's smart enough to sell them at the price he sets and even as a fashion accessory, and he's some kind of dick because people are dumb enough to pay for it?

He's really not, he's brilliant. We're kind of the dicks for not coming up with something cheap to sell to the masses.

Well, I think he did have a bit of an advantage of having his years with N.W.A., having discovered Eminem and him being the guy that hung with Tupac for an album that he helped produce [I]might[/I] have helped with the street cred that helped sell those Beats so well.

Not too many white boys can compete with that in your corner.

As far as headphones are concerned, we all know where we are at, on a personal scale.

lol you 100% took this thread the wrong way. i dont think florida was in any way shape or form putting down Dre and all of his accomplishments. he is only pointing out that the headphones are cheap, which we all knew anyway (plastic).

plus, in the original article (if you even bothered to read it) the author does say it has to do with Dre's accomplishments that the Beats brand is doing so well, which you are reiterating here. :)

too funny.

Gotta bit defensive there - just used to the slagging off on Dre for using cheap parts and overcharging outrageously for it.

Maybe a bit too subtle with my sarcasm.

I've never listened to any high end Grado but for me my Phonon Smb-02 are kings. Best closed back headphones I've ever listened to.
