    I know this was mentioned a month or so ago, and just thought I would give a very small update in case anyone was interested. Here is the link to the webpage with some info on Yao and Monsters relationship. It has a link to the main website, but it is in Chinese, anybody who speaks Chinese a translation of some updates on whats happening would be appreciated. Wish they would come out with some Beats by Yao Rockets headphones, I would totally buy them to replace my Beats by Dre!

    The most overpriced pair of cans I've ever heard. Cables too.

    Pure aesthetic design with almost zero substance.

    Glad Yao get to market something though. I know I wouldn't spend my money on them but others will.

    Well I got my beats for $100 so they were low risk if they didn't sound good, but I love the sound. They are the best headphones I've ever used. All Monster cables I've used for my guitar have sounded good, and have held up well too, so I don't know what you're talking about :confused:

    Obviously if you say they sound good I can't hate on you, but go to any audiophile places and all of them will tell you that beats are terribly overpriced. Even at $100 you can get better sounding cans.

    I will admit for rock they are average, but for bass heavy songs like hip-hop I love them. I am deaf in my right ear so all headphones sound off to me, but these are the best I've used. I haven't ever used Bose or any brand like that so I can't say for sure how they compare.

    Let me guess. Your previous headphone experience came from wal mart specials?

    @the guy defending monster. please do a little bit of research. you can buy your average monster quality cables for 1/10th the price.


    also, I wouldn't ever consider purchasing "Beats by Dre", but i do have to commend their advertising team. They really opened up the "urban" market. Now ever ball on a budget I see has a pair of them plugged into his iphone.

    Definitely overpriced. Might potentially make a difference to a die-hard audio-phile (like I USED to be), but certainly not necessary for the average Rockets fan :)

    Y'all suckas hatin cause you can't afford Beats. :grin: Seriously though, they're 3 things I like about the Beats: stylish, good bass, and sturdiness of headphone/wires.

    If it sucks, it sucks.

    And if you buy it for sticker price even though it sucks, you're a moron.

    $100 isnt bad for Dre Beats. i've seen them for almost $400. i dont think theyre worth more than $60. you can get some Grados or Denons with better bass for a few hundred. but its all subjective.

    hm... i use monster audio cables from my CD changer to my stereo receiver. it sound absolutely awesome. i am sure it's a little over priced for the brand name, but it was a good buy.

    however, i bought a bunch of monster instrument cables for my guitars thinking they would be good. but i get interference using these. Mogami instrument cables cost 3 times more, but i get no interference what so ever.
