A very expensive necklace worn by troglodytes who think random blurts of bass notes is music. Made of plastic and prone to snapping when actually used, they are considered useless for listening to music made by actual musicians. The fact you see them ever so "subtly" advertised in every popular music video of the past two years should be enough to prove they're nothing more than a branded fashion accessory.
Parent "I spent $200 on these Beats By Dre headphones, why the hell aren't you using them to listen to music?"

Kid "Holy shit, I can listen to music on these?"

Overpriced headphones for overpriced phones worn by teenagers who don't know shit about music and thinks its so cool to own them. The worst thing is that apple just bought them.

An overpriced and overrated audio company that sounds horrible. These headphones shouldn't be even marketed as headphones and should instead be marketed as a fashion accessory. though, recent models sound somewhat better than prior models the price is not justifiable and still sound like trash compared to other headphones of its price range.

Comparing the sound of these headphones to other headphones of the same price range would be like comparing a bicycle to a super car.
Person 1: look at these Beats by Dre I bought
Person 2: ignores person 1 and wears Sennheisers
