Beats By Dre???? Great or turn you into a tool?

[PistolPete33]

I just use basic Earbuds when I workout but I've been reading about how much people love their Beats By Dre. Not sure if it's worth the small investment. I laugh at some of the dudes in the gym that wear them but that's prob. more because they are about 120lbs. wearing a superman Tanktop and Beats. haha What is your take on them? Are they any good and do they make you look like a D!ck Head?

ear buds work fine. And big head phones like that don't really make you look like a dick. But they do make you look like a dumbass. IMO.

I did. .

In my defense, I run. The wired ear buds just pull out when I really start sweating. I won't wear the headphones for your stated reason.

I made the investment in the wireless ear buds. I do love the fit. I have wasted much $$$ on inferior blue tooth.

I also purchased sony earbuds with the flat wire which I use at work. First pair if ear buds that I had to adjust the volume down. Love these too for the bargain price of $20.

I know. I sound high maintenance but I am only medium high.

Beats are over priced muck way too much bass. I've always used the cheapest buds generally by sony as they are decent sounding without breaking the bank and if you break em just throw em away

[Khazima]

Music just sits in the background for me while I workout, I'm always 100% focused on working out and sometimes I turn it off because I feel like it's unnecessary noise.

I just use cheap earbuds for that reason, and I can throw them away/lose them/wreck them without worrying about it.

I buy 12$ wrap around buds on amazon. I buy 4 pairs at a time. 2 for the wife 2 for me. Last a few months. Sounds good. Loud enough to block everything out around me.

Beats are for tools, way too much money. I bought a $40 pair of pioneer buds at a surplus store because they are 110db sensitive so if I want it load they go really load. My samsung buds died last month so it was time to find something else and these are nice. I didn't want to go too cheap, I can't stand $hitty sounding headphones, or speakers for that matter.

I use yurbuds iron man edition. They don't fall out and have great sound. You'll pay $60 but for another $8 get the warranty and you can always get another pair if/when it breaks.

[PistolPete33]

It seams most have an issue with the price of Beats not so much the product. Besides the price what are you thoughts on these?

[frighteous]

they look stupid. not as bad as facemasks, but almost in that category.

If you wear your pants below your ass and the brim of your hat is perfectly flat, and you don't speak even close to proper English, I say go for it.

HAHA None of that.... Guess I will stick with my earbuds.... WERD!!!!!

[frighteous]

I like the plantronics backbeat 903. cheap. good sound.

[frighteous]

46 bucks. it's wireless, bluetooth, and fits inside your ear and goes around your ear. they're nice. perfect for jamming out to death metal on a hardcore chest and back day.

The solo beats are too small for a normal size guy. very uncomfortable. i have a pair of studio beats, they are nice for listening to music around your house, not at the gym. too heavy, with all the sweat it is just uncomfortable. i use normal iPhone ear buds at the gym. Oh also, i don't think they are worth the money, i know this because i have two pair. for big headphones sony and skull candy are nice and reasonable.

[clarky.]

There's a guy at ma gym who wears big headphones over his hoodie he look like a right tit.

[davidtheman100]

Why not go for beats earbuds? They're much better than regular earbuds, and don't look repulsive because they're small and IMO they look pretty nice.

Again though, they're fairly expensive but they're great at blocking out sound as well as projecting a good bass and they can get VERY loud if you want them to.

I myself, have a pair of cyan and black monster DNA's that are IMO way better than beats and you don't look as much of a tool in them as beats either. To each his own though. If a person can rock it, they can wear it.

I just use Crapple EarPods - But my woman has the pink Beats. They sound great, but I hate the feeling of earmuffs over my whole ear while working out.

I bought my kids the Beats one earbud and one the bigger over ear when I was in Vietnam last spring, they are considered knock offs but they are the same as the originals except the registration numbers are already active, I paid $25 US for the buds and $40 for the bigger ones. The kids love them, and for that price you can't go wrong, but I wouldn't wear the big ones, the buds I would.
