Fanny Wang Headphones, opinions?

I wanna get headphones for Christmas and honestly, I wanted beats,but not the $400 studios. I know beats have their drawbacks, but what me choose against it was its lack of durability. Beats DO have great sound and also look awesome, but there was too many negatives. The Fanny Wangs get better sound quality reviews and are honestly the closest looking thing to beats, which means they don't look idiotic like sennheiser and Subjekt. Is Fanny Wang a brand a guy would guy for good on ear headphones for the price of $129?

    Fashion TOYS marketed VERY aggressively for gullible people who do NOT know a single thing about REAL audio quality. NO-ONE should NEVER brag about how the headphone LOOKS, instead you should brag with good audio quality and KNOWLEDGE about audio things!

    First of all, too much bass WILL kill ANY earbuds in no time! Music is MUCH MORE than thumping, booming, overpowering bass!

    If REAL quality is an issue, you should stick to REPUTABLE brands only such as B&W, Sennheiser (most affordable), Shure, Grado, Denon, AKG, Audio-Technica (NOT to be mixed with Technic which is utter rubbish as well!), Etymotic or Beyerdynamic. Things like V-Moda, Klipsch, Sony, Panasonic, JVC and Philips are ONLY "okay-ish" indeed. Please do NOT fall a victim to FASHION ACCESSORIES by buying Boombox, Ministry of Sound, Sol/Republic/Revolution, Noontec Zoro's, Benetton, a-jays, iFrogz, Marley, Fanny Wang, Razer, Karl Kani, WESC, Turtle, JH, Dr.Dre/Beats/Solo, Ludacris/Soul, Koss, Skullcandy, Lady GaGa, Skullcrushers, Monsters nor Bose, because they are ALL seriously overhyped and overpriced "fashion blingbling gimmicks" with a very poor durability and sound quality, NOTHING else (and those who try to claim they are good do NOT know ANYTHING about QUALITY anyway!), BE THEM FAKE OR NOT!

    Again, please do NOT focus on the thumping bass that just distorts everything else, instead go for GOOD audio quality IN GENERAL.

    You think Sennheisers look idiotic, but you'd be happy to walk around with Fanny Wangs on your head??

    Let me do you a favor. Don't buy Fanny Wangs. If you want something that looks like Beats, costs less than Beats, and sounds better than Beats, get yourself some Noontec Zoros. Here's a review - feel free to Google for more:

    I am a guy. I would not want to be found dead with a pair of Fanny Wang headphones near the scene of death.

    To most people, the true high quality brands such as Sennheiser, Koss, Audio Technica and so on look a lot better than the fashion statement brands. It shows intelligence and a true appreciation for music over trendy looks. Trust me on this.
