Title: Is Dr. Dre ripping off young black kids with his $299.00 Headphones?
Post by: Soul Crusher on September 07, 2011, 03:40:25 PM
I ride the NYC subway all the time and now the in thing with the black kids seems to be the Dr. Dre Beats Headphones that go for $299.00.  All the kids now are wearing these things and rapping their bullshit to themselves. 

Most of these kids probably don't have 2 nickles to rub together but somehow manage to pay $299 for headphones. 

Seems like he suckering these kids into paying an outrageous amount for headphones.

Not kidding - I almost feel bad for these kids how stupid they are wasting $299 on these things.   

And all cause DRE is the front guy on this bullshit.

Not even for that.  I've had friends buy those things and I'd give them my pair of 12.00 Coby Studio Headphones and they can't tell the difference...Even my Wireless Studio Headphones for 20 bucks sounded the same.

Can't hate on Dre for pocketing some money but its just another example of kids wanting to emulate their heroes although Dr Dre is almost 50 years old.  He's not even in my generation.  I bet if kids knew who the real Dre was, they would think twice before emulating him

This happened a few days ago in Los Angeles


Officials Say Confrontation Over Headphones Led To 2 USC Students Getting Shot At Party


LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Officials say that a fight over headphones is what led to two USC students being shot at a party being held near the campus.  Stephanie Abrams reports.

Labor day weekend is considered the last opportunity for USC students to party before midterms, but tonight the partying is over and students are on edge after two students were shot.

Police say the shooting happened early this morning at a party in a student-filled off campus apartment complex on the 1200 block of West 37th Street. They say the three suspects in the shootings were not invited guests and were not students. The suspects are still at-large.

Police explained that a student at the party noticed his Dr. Dre headphones were missing. He spotted a suspect with the headphones and confronted him.

Police say when the student’s friends stepped in to help, the suspect pulled out a small caliber handgun shooting both. Police say one bullet hit a female graduate student’s hand and then struck a USC junior in the chest. “The round she took to the finger slowed down the impact of the bullet entering the male victim’s chest and most likely saved his life,” said Captain Melissa Zak.

Both students underwent surgery and are in stable condition at California Hospital.

Police are adding security to the area until they locate the suspects. Officials say they have very good leads and good descriptions on all three. Police are confident they will make arrests in the near future.

Authorities are also advising students hosting parties this Labor Day weekend to be more watchful about their guest lists and to keep the door locked so random people can’t walk in — which is exactly, they say, what happened at the party Saturday night.





Take it thou.... USC campus area is not safe... full of ghetto motha fuckas

i like how the negros go for the largest, blackest, gaudiest looking headphones.  look at the ipod headphones (for whitey).  small and white and can barely fill out an ear hole, just the way we've always had it.

i'm sure i mentioned this before, but an actual engineer at a major audio company (no, not dr. dre at "beatz") told me that the headphones plugged into an iphone make no difference.  he said the audio quality's so low in the output of the ipod that no regular magnetic headphone can do ANYTHING to improve it.  he said it's nothing but a pure waste of money.  sound is created by the output device, not by the audio device.  with that said, he talked about the new noise cancelling headphones that were supposed to be all the rage at the time.

the sound of mp3 players is basic 16 bits stereo sound... no headphones are going to make it some high quality 320khz 24bits sound. But people are ignorant. Just like people buying protein powders who think it ll transform them into anorld s.

I think it's just spread out of urban areas lately, back when I went to a city high school 15 years ago, probably 95% of the black kids would use giant head phones like this for street wear. Always struck me as a big pain in the ass, having to carry them around, when you could just wad up a pair of ear buds.

These sound better and are less noticeable. $69-$99 8 out of a 10

Really, well you may want to know that "Beats By Dre" is not just a pair of headphones but a division of Monster Cable.  In addition, a lot more white people buy "Beats By Dre" than blacks because thats who they are mainly marketed too. 

For Example - Here's the Beats By Dre - Justin Beiber Model

Then we have Beats By Dre - Lady Gaga Model

not really, in most of the cases it end up being paid by taxpayers anyway, since many of the customers are likely on some type of government assistance or other.

Dr Dre is basically taping in to tax money  wealthier working people. Same with Steve Jobs shoveling his garbage onto the unwitting populous.

i think my gist is, white people wear low key headphones because they don't want negroes to see they have an ipod and rob them, whereas in a consistant effort to somehow show the world they're not worthless thievin' thugs, the coloreds buy the "loudest", gaudiest piece of shit equipment they can get ahold of to show the rest of us "they made it", usually by actually stealing the item.

HE was like yea cost me (MOMs) $300 i asked let me take a listen to what $300 headphones sound like. Gave it about 2min worth of listening , took them off, when over to my gym bag grabbed my $10 gym headphones by sony and said take a listen to these bad boys.... he started crying..... he ended up returning them back to bestbuy the same day.... sound like shit off an ipod or other listening divices... these shits are made im guessing for DJ mixers in a lab , not for street use i'm assuming


They have relatively high impedance and very heavy bottom range.

Translation- they require a strong power source (mp3 player will not do it, without an external amp) and are very bass heavy. Highs/mids are basically non-existant.

In truth, they are 30$ headphones marketed to be worth hundreds...

I ride the NYC subway all the time and now the in thing with the black kids seems to be the Dr. Dre Beats Headphones that go for $299.00.  All the kids now are wearing these things and rapping their bullshit to themselves. 

Most of these kids probably don't have 2 nickles to rub together but somehow manage to pay $299 for headphones. 

Seems like he suckering these kids into paying an outrageous amount for headphones. 

Is Steve Jobs ripping off young whites with $299 iPhones?

In the old Roman empire, the Plebeians worshipped the gladiators. American plebeians today worship those fucking celebrities.

Just like the Roman empire, America was founded on slavery. Americans today are still slaves, but what do they know, as long as they are entertained by artists like Doctor Dre.

These goofballs on the subway spend $300.00 on headphones to listen to crap while instead - $300 could be spent buying books like:

1.  Creature from Jekyll Island
2.  Economics in One lesson - Hazzlit
3.  Road to Serfdom Hayek
4.  Crash Proof - Schiff
5.  End the Fed - Ron Paul
6.  copies of the founding documents



And still have a lot of $$$ left over.

wow... the way you post.. one wouldst venture to think that you've read these books...

As I notice Peter Schiff predicts this financial shit and it has a coarse term of 5-10 years... of which you ignore when referring to Obama and the economy.. I think that shit was written in 2006 or 07.....

Dont even get me started on the founding documents..

On a serious onte I just got me some 20 bux earbuds with a volume/stop play for my android phone.... i hate wires... i have yet to get good bluetooht pair for working out...

I created a thread asking what ppl use and if there are good bluetooth earbuds someone could suggest but no one even responded -_-;

So... what bluetooth earbuds for working out could someone suggest. Ideally something that wont get in the way when on bench or when squatting.
