To be Perfectly Honest, it's Not really the Headphones or Headsets. They Are Good - BUT:
It's the Reputation and Image of Beats that KILLS them!!
You may have found a Good Set, for a Competitive Price.
But Most of the Beats Headphones and Headsets are Over-Priced for what you Get.
Most of them are NOT Competitive in Sound-Quality, unless you Compare them to cheaper Headsets/Headphones.
*BUT - HERE'S THE TRUTH*
Beat's Audio SUCK in Laptops!! They don't sound as good as say, Harmon Kardon speakers found on high-end Toshiba Laptops.
Not only THAT - BUT the Beat's Premium Audio found in Chrysler Vehicles is JUST AS BAD!!
As much as I don't like Bose sound systems found in some GM Vehicles, the Bose systems are BETTER.
-->Beat's is a BRAND. They Strive for a reputation based on Marketing and Endorsement Headsets and Earbuds.
But they KILL They're Reputation by Diversifying so Poorly!!
THINK ABOUT THIS: If Harmon Kardon started making Sound Systems for Cars that were No Better than a middle-of-the-road System, People would 'Hate' on them too! But - They Don't!
If they're Laptop Speakers sounded like any other, YOU BET they are going to get FLACK for it!!
Beats Audio has a Reputation for Disappointment. Salesmenship DOES THAT when the Products they sell don't hold-up to they're Promise.
*The Best Comparison to Beats Audio, is Mercedes: It's a Brand that Meant to be about Quality, but they turn the Cheek when they bring it too Market.
This doesn't mean that ALL Beats Products are crap. Some are Great!
It's just means, that if you buy one of they're Products, you are Likely to be Disappointed.
Remember THIS: A Brand that is Dependent on 'Luck' is not a Brand of Trust. ;^) #Don'tBeSold.
