My son wants a pair of beats over the ear headphones. Although he wears the raggedy a55 ones he has now constantly I cannot see dropping that kind of cash on them. Anyone with knowledge on the subject to recommend a cheaper yet comparable set for him?

I listened to a pair and I wasn't impressed at all. If I were you I'd take him to best buy (the one in my area has a demo set up) & let him listen to those vs other brands like Bose. But since their the "popular" thing going right now he might just want them for show. In that case I'd get him a bootleg pair off Craigslist.

Just say no to "Beats by Dre" headphones ...
I recommend Pioneers. Go to Guitar Center and look at what they have. They have good coupons available too.

Your best bet is to get a pair of studio monitors. They're a little bigger than typical headphones, but they're great. Look for brands like Sennheiser.

Thanks Hannah. Looks like some nice alternatives to Beats on that site, but where you gettin coupons from?

Keep in mind, I know nothing about headphones, but I went into Best Buy today and was listening to all kinds of different brands...and I would say Boze sounded the best to me. Completely cancelled out all of the outside noise, and sound was great. Out of all the these kinds ($200+ that I tried), I thought the Beats by Dre were by far the most inferior. Even the Soul by Ludacris was half decent, but none of them stood up that Boze sound. I was impressed...not like I'd spend that much on headphones, but it is what it is.
Keep in mind that you are asking for practical opinions. Kids aren't practical. Beats headphones are the "coolest ones". Thats what he wants. He doesnt want the best sounding headphones or a different brand. I'd say your better off not getting him any headphones than getting him something else. You may want to say "I will donate x amount towards headphones. You can either get what this buys you or come up with the rest of the money to get your Beats headphones". If YOU make the purchase of something different, he wont take as good of care of the non-Beats headphones.Originally Posted by drunkenstarfish
I knew Pacquio was getting knocked out when they showed Romney in his dressing room wishing him luck.

I'm kind of surprised you did not suggest "Beats by Dre" phones.
Welker a possesion WR's just like all Caucasian WR's so when you can no longer do that, you gotta sit the bench or learn how to kick FGs or Punts -STICKTHEVICKTIM

Yes, this is Commissioner Gordon. The racial bat light in the sky was shown in error. Nothing to see here. You can go back to your post, carry on.

Drukenstarfish I'm going to need you to give me a pass for going off subject in the thread.
I can't understand what's with this new era around here. Man I remember the days on the old site when we would debate/
argue over something in one thread and then joke around in another. I remember when me and Joe Toronto would argue all day about whether or not Vick was a dumb thug and then we'd chop it up in a thread about the Raiders. Chad P too. It was the same thing. We would argue like hell in a thread and then we'd get online and run a game of Madden. I guess that was
the VG days. Now we got these squares following you around and bugging you in threads that don't have anything to do
with what they want to talk about. Trolling is the internet term for it I think. Maybe thats why all the old schoolers are gone
now b/c the lames are taking over.
Man I'm not on any type of internet thug shyt but if I don't chit chat w/you I'd appreciate it if you didn't bother responding to me. I come thru for some light debate and to blow some time and I don't want to have little fun boys following me
to every thread I go to trying to do whatever it is they call themselves doing.
I guess the lames have always been around their just standing out more now b/c the numbers are down. But to each his
own.

I understand. Seems like the forums are being took over slowly by trolls that add no enlightenment to any thread. Then they cry for the ban hammer when someone says something back to them. I honestly don't know why I bother coming here anymore. Most of the guys I used to talk to have moved on. I can hit them on AIM or text. Maybe I should take the hint myself. Madden being a crappy game has added to the falling out of these forums.

Certainly you are not talking about moi. I mean DSF we've only been playing online for over 6 years now, though minus the fact I fell off the map last season.

I've already gone thru it about the name calling. I started saying they were showing homosexual tendencies and then it turned into me not being intelligent enough to debate and having to resort to calling people names. But I don't know anything else to call a man who's constantly following another man all around a site just trying to get a response. To me that's shyt that women do. But I hate seeing where this site is now compared to how it used to be.
But enough about that. About the headphones. Walmart has a pair of Sony over the ear headphones that I use daily. I do corrosion control (paint/depaint) on C5's & C 17 and I've probably been thru about 100 pair of different headphones. The Sony's are by far the best for the price. The plug (the part that goes into the iPod) is as sturdy as they come. Because of the amount of bending, reaching, stretching and moving around that I do I usually short out the plug on the other brands within a month. They aren't the best when it comes to noise cancellation but I prefer to be able to hear some of the noise around me. Especially when I'm working. The model # is MDR-ZX100.
