Great branding, that's all it is. Respect for that.
If you are a producer you know, that if you see a guy wearing those he either gets paid by Beats, or is a guy who wants people to know he spent a lot of money on branded headphones. It was never about the sound quality.You will never see these headphones at a recording studio, but the company spent a lot of money on branding, and they did it well. Now every kid sees Justin Beiver, Paris Hilton or Steve Aoki wearing them and they want them.

Apple will make their money back, it was a smart purchase.

Pretty sure this isn't about the headphones. The purchase makes more sense when you consider the type of subscription service beats is now offering.

Are you people kidding me? Do you have any idea how much social status you get when you pay more than 50 times what something is worth? The only reason dj's DON'T use Beats headphones is because they're already cool enough and actually need to listen to music.
Hijo's brother clearly is not a dj or as cool as one... but if he buys these, other fools will praise him for being more of a fool than they are.
So does anyone know... do they play music as well?

The list of overpriced overhyped items people are buying is very long. Welcome to marketing, welcome to consumerism, welcome to capitalism, those are our new Gods.

Ramanisky2:
If you are looking for audio quality, check out this list.
Notice that neither Beats or Bose are ever mentioned:http://www.headphone.com/selecti…
I wouldn't be surprised if you will find Dr Dre using any of these while at work at his own studio when cameras are off.

is there a music store I can go to where they sell most of those brands? ... I like to be able to test drive some of those

The truth is he definitely wants them for status, he listens to an iPod for crying out loud. They will probably sound ten times better than his earbuds, so he'll love them and praise their quality. None of his friends own a pair of the latest color (orange), he said he may even wait for the lime green ones to come out. Clearly not thinking about sound quality.
I could school him regarding headphones and push some German or Japanese product but do I really want to do that? I may just get them on that Canadian Amazon site for $199, they won't be orange but at least he'll save $100. I'll let you know what he decides. I will also force him to take a pic so we can make fun how douchey he looks. lol
as far as him getting jumped or stabbed for them h can handle his own, i don't worry about that. he doesn't live in a that bad of a neighborhood.
- yes, as his brother you want to help him not be a dipshit consumer. that and his wingman when necessaryidiots

Montreal is a super safe city, surely safer than your brother's city, and people get punch in the face in the street at 2PM in front of people for those gadget... so.
