I stopped reading after this. I mean seriously. Have you been living under a rock?

I don't even listen to rap much if at all as I like older rock stuff like Metallica and Lynyrd Skynyrd, but even I know who Dr. Dre is.

mmmm I wouldn't go as low as $30 for something similar in quality, maybe... $60-80. Doubling as a headset for phones, comes with a case, active noise cancelling don't really come in the $30 range.
As I stated earlier, I think they're a rip off.

I thought all headphones did this? I know mine do

Beats are special because of its marketing and styling; nothing else. Nearly all of Beats owners know very little about audio in the first place.

-amazing sound quality and base
-style/look
-INSANLY AMAZING noise canceling (beats studio). Cnet agrees with me that these are one of the top (I think the best) noise canceling headphones. I can run my 7970 fans at 100 % (which sounds like a lawn mower lol ) and hear nothing while sitting 2 feat away while playin bf3 with these on.
