Am I the only one that is annoyed by people using a z at the end? Instead of calling them Beats (which is what they are) they type Beatz.
But I would probably buy a pair if they were cheaper. They are nice looking. Too expensive no matter how good they are or arent for me however.
They were on sale earlier this week at Nordstrom. The Beats solo HD was $89.99 (From $179.99) and the Studios HD were $149.99 (From 299.99) by price matching to Staples.
Staples was sold out but most of the customer service reps at Nordstrom didn't even bother to check and price matched anyway. I got me a pair of the Studios $149.99 + tax with free shipping. They shipped today. Other people went to the store to pricematch, I pricematched over the phone.
Staples no longer sells Beats headphones and took all the Beats headphones off their website today so it's impossible to do the pricematching now.
Here goes proof of the deal from another person:
Since beats and monster are no longer partners, Staples had their whole beats inventory on clearance.
The Beats solo was $89.99 (From $179.99) and the Studios were $149.99 (From 299.99). Of course its sold out on staples and have been out of stock for days.
However your local nordstrom will price match them even though they are out of stock and are the older beats.
Go there have the staples site on your phone and tell them you want to PM Staples. They will either do it directly or get manager to do it. The colors dont matter either.
Bestbuy, Radioshack, Office Depot all wont pm because its OOS and the fact that they are the older on staples site, the models numbers dont match. The people at nordstrom dont care about none of that. They just look to see price.
Was able to pick up a pair of red studios for my son today with no problems.
Maybe instead load him up with knowledge so he can drop bombs on his friends about how they overpaid for their headphones?

OOS on everything but the earbuds.
To anyone actually eyeing this...I would suggest trying some cheaper, more respected headphones first. Then if you are really, honestly not satisfied, get the Beats and either a) be satisfied by their heavy bass and empty top end or b) be very regretful. Either way, you've wasted little money on the first pair.
Beatz Beatz Beatz Beatz Beatz Beatz Beatz ;P
It's that or iBeats or X-Beats(treme) or something. Gotta add in a token marketing letter. I actually thought it was Beatz...IMO they would probably sell better to their target market. And I don't mean that to be [specifically] condescending; I literally think that 'Beats' probably looks less 'cool' to kids.
P.S. I like your name. I saw those dudes like twelve years ago when Height of Callousness came out. Too bad their recent album kind of sucks.

I'm looking for something else to recommend and struggling...PortaPro's are almost the same price as those AKG's and IMO not comparable. Grados never go on sale (but are still priced well at ~70-80 for SR-60i's). I'm not a big fan of lower end Sennheisers.
There's a LOT out there in the <$100 headphone range. Just encouraging some consumer research, is all...
Beats aren't about sound quality, they are about being "Beats". This was for the OP's kid. People like certain brands. Some guy may buy $100 or more jeans. I dont, but whatever. I guess since I dont have kids I think its alright to spoil them. I remember getting practical versions of what I wanted instead of what I actually asked for when I was a kid. It sucked. :biggrin:
They actually sound pretty good though. If you can get the Studio versions for $149, it's a steal!

I ended up getting my son a set for Christmas. He hugged me for the first time in a year.
Thanks Dr. Dre! Seriously though, I know what all the people say, but they're actually some damn fine headphones. They're very comfortable and sound pretty decent for everyday listening.
Hahahaha, who says you can't buy love?
Yea, misspellings annoy the crap out of me for some reason.
He already has some decent entry level Sennheisers but all his friends talk about Beatz. I will not waste money on them so I am wondering how are the knock off's in comparison? does anyone here have a set?
Tell him if he wants a Pair he needs to earn money for it selling newspapers, cutting lawns etc.. Show him the value of money and a work ethic to boot.
Did not.Yes indeed. I printed this page out on our lazer printer along with the instruction guide to our parametric equaliser and software licences. The colour looks off though for some strange reason.
