    I`ve heard that the beats headphones are really good pieces of kit up with with the sennheisers in quality stakes. ITs just the fact that its dr dre thats behind them that is a downside to a lot of audio ppl

    I see the name, and immediately I think its aimed at people who couldn't google up a review.

    But I guess that is probably prejudice on my part, they could still be decent.....
