No hate to you, KevinooBz, but the hype surrounding "Beats by Dr.Dre" is absolutely ridiculous.

They're a mediocre headphone and are merely a tribute to the power of marketing.

They could sell "Beets by Dr.Dre" and they would still sell like a golden egg laying hen!

What if people just really like beetroots?

He did get it for $19.95 though lol with p&h so even if they are overhyped it was relatively cheap.

Office: Ultrasone DJ-1

Travel: Audio Technica ATH-ES7

Home: Audio Technica ATH-A900x

Also have a USB DAC, but it's a piece of shit. I should have saved that money for a proper desktop amp.

Next purchase will be Schiit Bifrost + Schiit Valhalla + Beyer DT770Pro. There's a good $1k down the hole, haha.

Yeah that's fine - I'm familiar with the deal KevinooBz must have taken advantage of. Spending $19.95 is fine, they're the best headphones you'll get for that much. People spending $500 on studios is stupid, in my opinion.

Everyone has their own opinion, and I respect that.

Are you talking about normal earphones or the ones that lodge right into your ear. The ones that get right in there feel uncomfortable.

Sennheiser IE8
Beats by Dr. Dre Solo
Shure SE210

Usually wear the Beats as fashion accessories, they sound decent but look good, usually the Sennheisers when I'm not carrying a bag (they're in ears so go in my pocket). Shures have essentially been superseeded but I use them when I need good mids.

The ones that I got free with my phone. They produce sound and I can understand what comes out of them, good enough.
