They are NOT worth their price tag. (I don't even know how much the cost or what they sound like)

 

With beats, you are buying the brand.

You obviously don't know that they have improved so you really can't comment. Everyone is saying they're a lot better now.

They still kinda suck. Try putting them up against headphones at even the same price, and you'll know that.

 

Sennheiser and Klipsch make good earbuds. I'd look there first.

There are beats at the local JB Hi-Fi (I find that ironic) and they sound like $100 headphones, but they cost $400.

You are buying the brand. It is a scam. 

 

Also why am I not part of "Everyone" even though everyone means every person.

Start looking at products that are produced by a company that makes serious studio-quality headphones.

Anything from a trendy company is guaranteed to be lagging far behind the competition when it comes to bang-for-your-buck, even despite product improvements.
