    Way overpriced headphones,

    You can get industry standard Sony MDR's from ebay for around $50-$80.

    • eug on 28/03/2012 - 22:26

      Hrm? The entry-levelindustry standard are the MDR7506 headphones which are about $170 here. Those ebay ones … I kinda doubt their authenticity.

    For $250, look out for a pair of AKG701 or 702. If you want something portable, pick up the Sennheiser HD25.

    Both offer way better sound with less bass bloat.

  • T1OOO on 28/03/2012 - 16:25

      There is no division among the ranks,

      We all agree on the above…..

    • illusionarybreeze on 28/03/2012 - 17:59

      If you really like how they look and want to get them, it's a good price. There is a general dislike of Beats amongst those who value sound quality because they are overpriced, and also amongst some who dislike its popularity and the associations with Dr. Dre, gangsta-wannabes and the mainstream that they draw.

      Question is, what is important to you, and do you care what OzBargain thinks?

    • R.R.P on 28/03/2012 - 20:37

  • jacksonyork on 28/03/2012 - 17:03

    What most people don't know is that recently Beats and Monster will part ways and Monster will no longer produce the headphones. Beats will go it alone or find a new supplier by end of year.

    I'm guessing the discount may be due to them clearing out all the old 'Monster' stock?

    Or they are fakes as most cheap ones are!!

    I'd prefer Bose than beats, the bass are exaggerated. They're only popular by name, nothing else. I mean, how many people do you see wearing one of these in public? Probably 1-2 at most daily, and don't try to say not everyone can offord it… Since then we could start on the discussion about iPhones…

    • flipstardirect on 28/03/2012 - 20:11

      I'd prefer Bose than beats,

      Whilst this is interesting, I am unclear about what your negative vote is trying to tell us…..
      Is this particular product defective?
      Do you have information that the retailer is untrustworthy?
      Have you seen them cheaper elsewhere?

      You concede they are popular, so some people want them, (presumably at the best price….. and where better than here to find that)….
      Clearly you don't want them, but surely a long time member such as yourself would understand the 'not voting neg based on personal opinion' rule?

  • PlayDis on 28/03/2012 - 20:06

  • bargdebarg on 28/03/2012 - 20:36

    Crap headphones. For the same price you can get amazing quality audiophile headphones. You cannot use these without batteries. Neg as you can get better elsewhere. Example:

      Neg as you can get better elsewhere.

      You claim to show a better deal elsewhere….. then link to a completely different product??

      surely the idea behind the negative vote is to link to where you can get the posted product cheaper?

      If you have found a great deal on some other headphones…. post it as a deal…. share the love

  • thanq on 28/03/2012 - 20:42

    Over priced headphones. You'll look like a fool who knows nothing about sound quality. Everyone I see wearing these are either hipsters who want to look swag and the rich who knows only brand labels. Look at some Audio Technica headphones or some nice Sennheisers.

        That's the thing. "Good price" These are still way too expensive for what they are. I just want people to understand that there are other brands out there that have a reputation for being great quality, build wise and sound quality wise.

        • andy19363 on 28/03/2012 - 22:02

          I just want people to understand

          But, by adding a negative vote, you make it more likely that the post will not be seen by the majority of ozbargain members…. so people will not be able to read your comments……

        • gilbarc on 28/03/2012 - 22:46

          Seems like a good mix of visibility and warning.

          There are no warnings…. only opinions about other brands that may or may not be better.
          Opinions are fine…. everybody has them…. just don't add negs to them…

          we know some people have the opinion that these are overpriced….. that's all

          with 5 negative votes

          A number of negs have already been revoked by the community…

        • gilbarc on 28/03/2012 - 23:57

          The number of negs serves as a big, red warning light to check the comments because there may be a problem with the deal. If they check the comments and decide it's not an issue for them, then fine — at least they're now more informed.

          It's also a fact, not opinion, that these headphones do not have very good sound quality. If people choose to buy them for reasons other than sound quality, that's up to them. However, most people, when spending hundreds of dollars on headphones, expect decent sound quality, so voting negative is justified — it's warning people who may not know better.

        • andy19363 on 29/03/2012 - 00:20

          Trouble is… when there is enough negs…. the post disappears…. warning nobody…..

        • gilbarc on 29/03/2012 - 00:25

          Well, we haven't reached that stage yet, so like I said — we currently have a good mix of visibility and warning.

        • illusionarybreeze on 29/03/2012 - 00:43

          There are better headphones out there for the same price, but there are ways of letting people know that without resorting to calling them fools.

          I have found that there are people who think they know a lot about headphones (or at least try to give the impression that they do) simply by pulling out names like Sennheiser and Audio Technica. They too only know brand labels. Also, they think they look swag because they appear to know more about audio than Beats users. In my experience, they are more entertaining than people who wear Beats and deride other headphones.

          Little do they know that every headphone company has its duds that are there for the purpose of filling a certain price point.

        • gilbarc on 29/03/2012 - 01:21

          but there are ways of letting people know that without resorting to calling them fools.

          And the majority of people in here are trying to do just that. There's only a handful of people being arseholes about it.

          Agree that sound quality for Sennheisers in this price range are better than this one for overall performance, but Sennheiser also have some over priced product.
          Choosing brands usually means choosing sound signature, A likes this sound signature doesn't mean B likes it too.
          Sound Quality also depends on music played. Pop music needs a warmer sound with less bass and human sound up front, classical needs a flat sound…

          This one is a deal for people really love Monster Beats, but I will choose others in this price range. And you need to bet the headphone is real as there are so many fake dr.dre (Sennheiser too).

        The problem is that even if you vote -1, there are others who echo the sentiment of the offensive post. People seem more enthusiastic to post derisive remarks along with valid reasons knowing that there are others who will back them up. Anonymity encourages honesty, but what that honesty reveals is disturbing to see. Some people are way too judgmental.

    Jason… Deal Fox… Please answer this.

    The last time you had a deal you were selling diddy beats at 119. I thought this was a great savings over the 200 dollars at JB Hifi.. except one small problem..

    You were selling the version 1 original beats headphones which were lacking the volume control for the apple iphone. It took me a bit of searching on the net to find out you were selling original 2 year old stock and you did not state this on the AD. kudos for a full refund but can you confirm this is not the same case and the volume control isnt missing?

      Hi lextsy,

      We made a mistake in the listing of our previous Beat earphones. There was confusion with what the 'Control' feature meant (there is a 'Universal versions vs iPhone version). Human error and we did refund when requested. There is no intention to mislead.

      I believe our listing is accurate as we now have two people looking over product copy each time.

      Cheers, Jason
