    Uh, when was ever something fancy about Beats? V-Shape tuning with tons of bass and just some random chunks of metal to make it more weighty and with that pReMiUm feeling for ridiculous prices. That was my perception of the brand since its inception long before Apple aquired it. Since then i probably take it more seriously? Not enough to ever buy anything from them. But still.

    To frame it differently: Beats always felt like a fashion brand. So i dont really know why Apple ever had a bad influence on the brand?

      Well it’s more PSA for anyone who’s unfamiliar.

      Usually I find the best companies are often the longstanding ones you’ve not heard of. Like Sennheiser, it was one I discovered years ago purely by accident when using Pro equipment and fell in love. Far better than anything “Bose” or “Beats”.

        Fair enough.

        I was probably just a bit too irritated by the “anymore” part of your post.
