It’s f*ck wit Dre Day over at The NY Times which published an article yesterday ripping the legendary producer’s best-selling Beats By Dre headphones.
If you’re a black male, you probably own one of these sleek $300 headphones just because you will buy anything a celebrity endorses.
According to a music expert interviewed by The NY Times, the sexy headphones produce way too much bass, which distorts the music, and besides that, they suck.
“In terms of sound performance, they are among the worst you can buy,” says Tyll Hertsens, editor in chief of InnerFidelity.com, a site for audiophiles. “They are absolutely, extraordinarily bad.” Source
The Times article goes on to say that back in the day, manufacturers such as Bose “marketed high-priced audio equipment by emphasizing technical merits like frequency response, optimum impedance, ambient noise attenuation and so on.”
Nowadays a dude riding the bus doesn’t care about the sound quality of the headphones, as long as the big booty chick sitting one seat over sees him wearing the trendy headsets.
