Are Beats Overpriced? (Fei)

Hey guys, Fei here. Recently I got a pair of Beats By Dr. Dre for about 300$. And yes, they are red studios. I bought them at an Apple store, and since Thailand has a fairly high tax, they cost about 380$ each. But now, I'm going to answer the question, are BEATS overpriced?

1. BASS: The Studios have a little higher Bass than SOLOs, but less than SOLO HD models. Here are some heavy bass songs for you to try out your BEATS on:
And yes, the Beats can handle the bass. BUT, the bass shouldn't make these things 300 fucking dollars.


2. COMFORT: The comfort on the Solos are OK, but they rest on your ear. Same as the SOLO HDs and Wireless. The Studios and others have very good comfort, your ears rest INSIDE them. But, all of these hurt after wearing them for about 1 to 2 hours.

3. SOUND LEAK: Yes, the Studios do sound leak if your iPod volume is over 70. But from what I tested, the SOLOs, SOLO HDs, and Wireless will NOT sound leak if you have your iPod volume over 90. I still wonder, what dumbfuck would open it that loud?

So yes, these things are sorta overpriced. And if you ask me which other brands are similar to these Beats, I would recommend:
SKULLCANDY

SOUL by Ludacris (models may vary)

CREATIVE Aurvana (#1 for DJs)


And for Beats, here are some different recommends for your uses:

NORMAL SONG LISTENING (SOLO HDs cause you pay not much more for them instead of SOLOs)

SONG COMPOSING/NON HARDCORE DJ
HARDCORE DJ

SONG LISTENING/HARDCORE DJ/EVERYTHING

Anyways guys, thanks for reading. This is Fei, pacing out!
