1. I'm scratching my head wondering why they would be better

But it's all about the product endorsement.

10. I've paid $200 for some Bose Headphones before and they broke..

I've paid more than that for aviation headphones but that is different.

12. My Skullcandy earbuds do just fine.

2. I've paid that for Etymotics

Wpuodnt pay that for those. Yuck.

3. Yes, if they're worth the money, which those clearly aren't.

First problem is they're from Best Buy.

Second problem is they're Monster brand, who are notorious for selling $60 HDMI cables.

Third, they have some stupid rapper's name on them.

All of that together means there are very likely pairs of $60 monitors out there that sound every bit as good.

4. Um, no.

They're Chinese crap with a crappy "rap artists" name on them.

Sennheiser HD 280 PRO's are what are found in most recording studios these days, and they are $99.00

5. No! But a friend did. A pair of Bose that I picked up for him because they're cheaper here than in

Calgary.

The pisser: when he visited to get them from me he compared them to my $50.00 Able Planets. He thought mine has better sound quality and were more comfortable.

8. I'd pay $1,000 for a set of Stax, if I had $1,000.

No question, no hesitation.

9. Sure, but not those ones.

Stax, Sennheisers, Beyerdyamics, high end Grados - definitely. Serious audiophile music listening is a rarified and costly sport.

11. Beatz's NO Grado's yes!

13. no. I hate headphones. am too claustrophobic.

14. I paid 50 for my Philips shl9560

and listened to the Beats in the store, they were a little bit better in sound quality.
