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.
I don't disagree with this at all. I just disagree that some headphone buyers are more deserving of being robbed than others.
I also get that this is a forum and people will take the piss out of people who make daft decisions I just thought the poster I referred to had put enough thought into it to warrant a mention.
My mate's beats got robbed of him last year when he was walking home with a few of our mates, and someone just came and took it of his neck and run, whilst the other gang members tried to talk to him like, yo whats happening, who was it etc. They were all apart of the plan and it was quite a clever idea.
moral of the story - don't buy one.
P.S i listened to the solo on and i thought wtf 100+ for this crap, sounds awful!
these products and their hype are what we get when no one will buy records (not like Dre didn't already have a successful career, though) (matter fact, only an already successful and respected artist would be able to sufficiently hype such a product anyway) (so the truth is, there's no good reason for them to exist)

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.
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.
Yeah the anti-beats backlash is actually more annoying than beats themselves.
it's not like hd-25s are the best choice for listening headphones either.

Yup, was away to say. I prefer the beats for non critical listening than i do my HD-25's. They are eq'd in a low end heavy way and they are soooooper comfortable. They do distort horribly at silly high SPL wich on the other hand is where HD's excel imo.
The thing I don't understand is how they marketed them as the headphones that allow you to hear music in the same way Dre does in his studio. He surely wasn't wearing them when he was creating The Chronic in the late 80's, so what's the point ?

I have, in my travels. Not a good look.
Saw a vid of Skrillex producing some album by The Doors, had a scene with skrill in a hotel room producing on a MBP and a pair of beats. Which brings me to another point, Beats = Mac, imo.

He still makes music man. I imagine they market them as the headphones for the music he produces now a days.
chronic was the early 90s
