if you want to look cool like all the super cool kids then yeah, they're worth it.

but if you want a quality pair of headphones, look elsewhere.

I have them, I love them. Not going to lie, they are overpriced because they say Dr. Dre. They still have really good sound and look sick though.

haha, no worries.

the bose over ear headphones are really nice as well as some of the higher end studio sonys. i have found the sony headphones to be the most comfortable but the bose keep out the most outside noise.

I bought the Beats by Dre Solos back in March, and they just broke last week. The sound quality is really good, especially the bass, even if the highs are a bit muted. I use them for everything, from producing, to just listening to music and they bump. Make sure to keep your receipt because you can have them replaced for free (which what I'm doing), in the event that they do break. Also, I believe that they fixed the type of plastic used in the headband so that they are more durable than the ones I bought (mine had really brittle plastic and snapped). If you have the money, the studios have noise cancelling but require a battery. They are also more comfortable as they go over the ear, the on-ear solos will make your ears sore after a while. I bought the Solos because I didn't have the money, but they have the SAME EXACT sound quality, so it boils down to personal preference and money.

Seinheiser (sp?) and Bose do offer more accurate sound production. But the bass in the beats is superior imo. A lot of the price is obviously part of the name, but the design and materials used are really nice. I got a deal on mine so it mitigated paying a ridiculous amount. To OP, go to either Best Buy or the Apple Store and try them out, that's the best bet, make sure to try a bunch of songs with different music qualities to get a feel for the entire sound spectrum.

dude the outers swings and jammers is the most important thing to consider when purchasing a new pair of personal noise listening devices.

i'd look into the beats more if they were customizable like from monster directly not a third party site idk if i'd trust that.
