Beats are actually like one of the worst headphones when it comes to quality vs. inflation of price.
I have a pair of V-MODA I won in a contest and have always thought how cool it would be to switch out the faceplates for ones that had the A symbol on them. I would love these headphones but I also own a pair of Sennheisers so another pair of headphones are the last thing I need to be blowing money on.
