Question to all people, if you own a pair of "reliable" Beats, do you use them everyday?

Gah, totally forgot to add what I think about how they actually sound:

Here's what I think of the Solos: The Solos successfully give you neither deep bass nor clear sound. They're probably the worst value anywhere Even for $30 they'd be a sketchy buy since they sound so hilariously bad. I didn't really like my Klipsch Image Ones stock-it was so muddy that I've seen cleaner pigs, and they still handily beat the Solos. I don't mind the Studios or Pros, but the Solos are a crime to aural cavities everywhere. I preferred the JVC Marshmallows to them. They're a $5 earphone. The Solos are that tragically horrible. I could go on for hours about how much of an embarrassment to the hobby the Solos are, being outclassed by even Monster's cheapest products, but I'll save my time. But seriously, don't ever consider them.

The Studios are a bit of an embarrassment too. They're touted as being "what the artist intended." That's cool, if the only thing you listen to is rap for the rest of your life. What does Dre know about Miles Davis? Do you really think Miles wanted the string bass to be louder than his trumpet? The Studios sound nothing like real life. Frankly,I've never head a headphone that sounds like real life. The closest I've ever gotten was the $700 Hifiman HE500, and they still didn't sound like real life. If they were marketed as a bassy headphone, I'd be fine with that, but the last thing we need is a bunch of teenie boppers who think bass is the only thing important with the sound mastering the music of the future. That's what Beats are essentially doing, and they're killing the music industry with that. In addition, they're advertised as having deep bass. No they don't. They don't even reach past 30hz, which I barely consider deep. They have midbass, which absolutely any headphone can provide. Don't even get me started on their midrange and treble. I don't mind how they sound, it's just that they sound like $50 headphones with a $300 price tag.

The Pros are really only worth about $150 when it comes to sound. They sound fun, but they sound completely unnatural in a way that most people would find pleasing. And I can't really fault them on that. However, I find that they're the weirdest sounding headphones ever. They don't sound bad per say, but they sound like every single frequency was EQ'ed upwards. The sound is completely hyped in a way that's almost indescribable. The bass is boomy, yet doesn't collapse onto the mids, the mids sound sharp (as in tuning; an A sounds like an A#, a B-B#, and so on) and the treble is bordering on strident. Again, they aren't terrible headphones, but as with everything else in the Beats range, they're more form than function.

You spent alot of time on this post, Nice. I have 30$ Sonys and they work fine lol

You want to tell me why I would be jealous of terrible headphones?

And I found a counter to your video.

Its not that they suck really bad, its just people think they are the best headphones out there but in reality they don't last very long and are pretty good headsets. Also they are very overhyped.

I've heard of speculation that Monster made an attempt to improve build quality, but saw nothing of it. This may be a new revised pair, but there are also speculations that these are fake. I wouldn't grant this too much validity considering this is the SINGLE instance I have seen these hold up to any sort of bending like that.

Also, the headband build quality may have improved, but the rest has not. It's still built poorly. It's not impressive to see headphones with a durable headband, it's sort of an industry standard and just common sense.

They still take batteries and have crappy noise canceling.

They still sound like crap for the price.

They still use a glossy finish.

They're still not built well.

Please, hesitate to buy a pair.

LOL, I think the iPod headphones are better than Beats, to be honest.
