Why Do People like Beats By Dr.Dre So Much?

[DrunkAssassin]

Can anyone tell me why, because I have tried them and they are extremely uncomfortable ( I have tried the Pro version and the Studio Version) and the Audio isn't even great. You could go out and get some Sennheiser Headphones and a sound card and get way better audio quality for less or equal to the price of beats, can anyone just explain simply to me why they are so popular?

They're a fashion statement.

[Volbet]

They serve as a fashion accessory. 

[HutchisonSorbo]

As the responses stated it's just a fashion statement.

[Hyydrah]

Peer pressure and popularity, too.

swag fags.

Good marketting. Have you ever seen a AKG/Sennheisser commercial? I sure haven't.

[Mooshi]

I have no desire to own a pair of overhyped bloated bass headphones created by an individual that is part of a music genre I dislike greatly.

[brownninja97]

They like getting "beat(ed)". HAHAHAH im so clever

[Kirihuna]

Just a thing of "everyone has them, so will I" thing.

[ShearMe]

Ignorance.

because people are sheep....

 

and a result of a decade of using shitty $2 earbuds people are open to something better and combined with the marketing these are perceived to be good

Fashion. I've never seen someone actually use them, but I've seen them around peoples necks a lot.

Oh yea, people walk around with it around their neck - without even having the damn cable plugged in.

"Tired of those troublesome mids and highs in your music? Ever wish you could just blot them out with muddy bass? Having trouble fitting your wallet in your pocket? Well have I got the headphones for you!" - Beats next marketing campaign.

[TheProfosist]

Cause their cool right?

Hahaha, That just made my morning

I think it's to show that they have money. It's like where I live, if you have Beats (here, it's braces, yes, braces), that's a symbol that you have braces. I've even heard of people wearing hoodies and having beats over the hood (geniuses )...

Ignorance of the weak minded my friend, people will buy about anything if you pitch it well enough. I could come up with something stupid like underwater socks and still probably sell it to half of America as long I have a good catchy commercial and some half-ass advertisement.

So true, same with people buying crap $20 laptops then switching to $2000 macs cause they think pc is shit.

I have someone in one of my classes and he wears the beats by dre round his neck. It pisses me off so much that people like that think they are cool because they see people wear them and they just follow their choice. It's similar to people who own a mac and they think it's the best

[Glasofruix]

Definitely a fashion trend, i've seen not so long ago a guy with chrome colored beats plugged...wait for it....in an iPad. Nothing shocking if you're at home, but you're in a shopping mall ffs (he also was wearing something that closely ressembled pajamas).

[Shindo]

No pair of headphones have been marketed as much as they have. "beats" have become a household statement. We can thank Dre's huge wallet for that.
