Shit should look good.

If youre going to be wearing something for hours on end, its a fashion accessory, a key part in a consumers decision making will be aesthetics.

Why do other companies not understand this? Im in the market for headphones, and knowing Beats are an inferior product but still are head and shoulders above everyone else in looks.

Why do most other companies just give up on both? Sony for example, has the ugliest and most boring products. But who gives a shit about all of that when they sound and perform great? Well a lot of people, including myself.

You mean to tell me you can nail all the internal aspects, have state of the art tech...but cant design something that doesnt look like some black earmuffs?

fuck outta here.

This, who cares how they look as long as they function well and are comfortable. How they look is directly related to their performance too.

They dont look special. Beats by Dre just got Dre's name behind them then got every fucking celebrity to wear a pair.

Thats it.

I dont mind them and think theres a good enough reason to have headphones dedicated to catering to styles of music where the low end is the emphasis

I use Sony MDR-7506s as my microscope when working on music, but I definitely would enjoy the sonic experience of BEATS by Dre considering I find the experience of using Air Pods to be an enjoyable one

worse than the actual design of the headphones themselves is Sonys naming conventions

There's more to headphones than ostentatious design, logo placement and celebrity endorsements, especially when the thing is doing its job, you're not seeing it unless you live in front of a mirror

You're absolutely right. More companies should also care about aesthetics and then you would have more than one example to compare to.

I do use wired only, and I used to use flac files but a music streaming service is just way more convenient for me so I'm just waiting for Spotify HIFI, which I doubt will be as good, but I mean it is a step back in the right direction.
