I need to find a Chrome extension that prevents me from reading articles that mention Beats.

They are both headphones for people who do the same level of research and have the same level of intellect.

All I care for in a headphone is comfort. Hate when they pinch my ears or puts pressure on my head.

And just like Beats, cost $6 to make with a 5,000% mark-up.

All you pay for is a brand!

If you are going to buy quality headphones and spend over $100 then get studio headphones, they are much better and even cheaper than this junk.

I logged in just to like this comment. Someone please do this!

If your primary area isn't to produce high end audio products, then you shouldn't try to produce a product that competes there. You give a bad impression for those who do produce a product worthy of the price your asking. Samsung is trying to cover too many areas like a buffet. Got plenty to choose from, but most of it ends up being tasteless.

Worse then a bad impression, you teach people low quality "Sounds great!" I've heard beats headphones, and they suck for the money. I would feel ashamed to be saying that my product is worthy of competing against a real audiophile headset. 90% marketing, 10% research = audiofooled headset.

Wouldn't trust anything Samsung does these days. Everything seems like a blatant ploy to quickly sell as much garbage as possible while the market it hot. I wish everyone understood just how much better a $350 pair of Grado, Sennheiser or AKG headphones sounds. Obviously I haven't tried these yet, but given my recent experience with Samsung's products vs what their marketing says, I can extrapolate out that these will sound exactly like Beats do, which is like a decent $50 pair.

I have had a set of akg over-ear headphones since before they were cool. Super comfortable and durable. These don't look like either.

Beats are ok headphones for $50 I think. The rest is just crazy markup and endorsement fees.

I can tell these are going to be good. Cause Samsung never fails to deliver. Unlike that beats company, where you could find better quality headphones at a flea market.

Eh. Probably plastiky like all there other products. I'll stick with my UE over ears. Plus I don't won't Bluetooth. Bluetooth is too finicky still, in my experience.

On-ear headphones do that, not around-ear ;)
