Are Beats by Dre worth it?

I was thinking of getting them, but I've heard mixed reviews. Some people have been telling me how its amazing and the best purchase. They tell me how the sound is incredible and nothing like i've ever experienced. Others have been telling me how it is a WASTE of money to buy them and people just buy them to look cool. They tell me how the sound is the exact same as normal headphones. It's just more expensive.

I wanted to ask my parents for them for my birthday, but now im not too sure...

    Dr. Dre beats do produce excellent sound quality but are overly expensive. In reality, the reason for the price being so high is that it's Dr. Dre. You could purchase a different brand of headphones that produce the same sound quality as Beats for a cheaper price. Or, you could be that ignorant person who will buy headphones just because it's a certain brand. Personally, I don't think buying Beats is worth it.

    @Nikia and a month supply of McDonalds can double your chance for heart attack.

    No. Get Sennheiser headphones, higher quality for less money. I have the beats studios (look up the price on your own, but I assure you its well above $200), and my $30 senneheiser earbuds are arguably better.

    Beats are not poor headphones, they are overpriced.

    Quality headphones are definitely an excellent investment, just don't buy Beats.

    FYI, Sennheiser has been making headphones for a VERY long time now. It hasn't been the last 2 or 3 years.

    No, they are no longer properly well worth the money. There are lots extra advantageous ideas available at a low value that have lots extra advantageous high quality. once you purchase Beats your merely procuring the Monster/Dr Dre type call and the actual high quality of the product is a lot no longer almost as good as different headphones interior a similar budget.

    No. Beats suck and are for swagfags that dont know anything about quality. If you want great headphones then get the audio technica ath-m50. Search 'audio technica ath-m50 vs beats by dre' and every video will tell you to get the m-50.

    Source(s): I own both headphones and beats by dre are terrible headphones

    Noooo!

    Do not waste your money. Please people only purchase them because of the name but remain willfully ignorant in terms of quality until they buy them that is. If you want 5 star quality I recommend a trust able brand known as Sennheiser you won't be disappointed.

    They're overpriced, overrated, mediocre headphones that are fashionable.

    You can get much better headphones for half the money.
