I agree tons of headphones are better acoustically than Beats at fraction of the price. But I think a good percentage of people buy these simply for the bass. And IDK any headphones that produce as much pure bass as this one. Despite people disagreeing with me before, they were never able to prove me wrong. Bass doesn't mean quality headphones, but if that's what people want tho then Beats are the best headphones in the market currently for the general masses Sent from my HTC One X using Grasscity Forum mobile app
