Beats

I just want to add that I had mixed emotions about responding with my honest opinion about Beats. I am not trying to hurt the sales for this product or HSN. I wish someone would have told me, or I would have done my research before I purchased them for my boys.  Again, buy the insurance for no worries or regrets. 

Here is my opinion.  I bought each of my teenage sons a pair of Beats.  I didn’t buy on Hsn, but bought at a big box store. I purchased the insurance offered in store, thank goodness.  My 16 year old had them replaced twice, my 14 year old is on his 5th pair. We are lucky because when they replace them, they offer another insurance policy.  We have experienced the same problem of the little jack (not sure what it is called) that plugs into your ipod or phone, shorting out and the sound crackling or one side dies.  They have had the earphones, Studio, Pro, and Solo.  Again, because of the insurance, we have been able to upgrade/downgrade and change models. The top plastic piece cracked on the Solo headphones. Some might think my boys were rough with them.  My 16 year old was meticulous about putting them back in their case and takes really good care of his stuff.  I think they have really good sound, but the quality and durability is questionable.  Do your research and read reviews on various sites.  If you buy them, buy the insurance.  I am not sure how the insurance plan works through HSN. This is just my opinion and experience.  I am so glad that I bought the insurance, if not, we would have had two $300 paperweights. 

chuck02 and SLMangle, the beats by dr. dre are headphones that offer studio quality sound and other options for wireless and bluetooth connectectivity. We’re thrilled they are on your x-mas list!

I actually put Beats on my x-mas wishlist. But then my husband told me it’s just head-phones…I thought it was a whole head-phone system that you could listen to the radio on…like a walkman from back in the day. I just want a walkman!  What is Beats?
