Come now, Dr. Dre has NEVER been a criminal. If anything, he was an amazing producer that got robbed by criminals like Suge Knight, but a criminal he never was. What I find criminal is his approach to exploiting the same community that made him big.
fair point. could have SWORN he had some gang activity in his past, but looks like i was 100% wrong on that one.
That's why I simply wear the headphones that came with my phone. They do the trick (allow me to listen to my music, while answering phone calls).
audio is one thing i have no issues dropping money on. headphones, system in my car (NOT a ghetto street thumper system, mind), what goes in my ears is important to me. just a personal thing, not saying i'm "right".
honestly it's not the price of beats that bugs me, it's what you get for the price. if they were WORTH $300 i'd look at picking up a pair, but the sound that comes out of those is worth $75 tops.
