Another in the series of 'kids these days' threads...

 

The well-respected and renowned expert in acoustics (and money for old rope) Dr. Dre, who's not a real Doctor either, has launched his own range of headphones - Dr. Dre Beats.

 

Everyone has probably noticed young folk wearing these white monstrosities - with a red logo that looks like the vodafone one. At first I thought each to their own etc. until yesterday, when I was in a shop and noticed the price...

 

?100 to ?300 +

 

I know fools and money are easily parted but this takes the piss. Incidentally, isn't 'Dre' about 50 years old these days? Why are the 'yoof' taking their cues from an old fart like him?

Perhaps he could help with America's deficit given the ubiquitousness of his product - especially on Bolton/Piccadilly stations of a morning/evening.

I'm the wrong side of 40 (as BCG will be soon ) & I'm one of those down with it folk too with mufflers on me ears.

 

It's probably just because I'm fighting it though.

 

You couldn't wait to 'out' BCG as an owd un too, could you? Tut, tut, I've got a good (yet spiteful) 'mate' who always does that - especially when were talking to girls, he always drags me down with him, when I can sometimes 'pass'

 

 

Its not the case of them buying fakes deliberately

 

Its more the case they are a braindead moron thinking they are getting the real deal at a fraction of the price...

 

I'd hope the same folk never visit Thailand, they may come back a different person...

I am indeed the wrong side of 30 but I like these headphones from a practical sense. You'll never catch me in anything fake though. If I can't afford the real thing, I do bout.

 

All this jabbering is not getting my ironing done!

It's what friends are for.

 

She's 2 1/2 years younger than me so I think I'm allowed to be spiteful about it this year. I'm sure she was just as cruel when it was me.

I like that, the 1/2 year bit that is - isn't it strange how half years start mattering again? Just like they did when we were at primary school (not together - obviously).

 

My mate, at 34, is actually younger than me but he's already had to go the 'Just for Men' route . He doesn't like being mistaken for the 'senior' (drinking) partner recently - well since we hit th... thi... thir...thirty, I can finally type it now, just*. This accounts for his spiteful actions.

 

* And I'm already looking down the gun barrel of 40, where's it all going?

ive got the in ear ones

 

they are perfect

 

?120

 

Use them every day for work.

 

Was going thorugh about 6 pairs a year at ?20 a pop which wernt as good

 

had these 2 years and still in perfect condition

 

like the mac, easy to say they are a rip off just because they cost more than the average item, but value for money imo

 

if you use headphones a lot that is

It's what friends are for.
