Beats by Dre Bass issue..?

I respect your opinion DeanNim, however I fail to see a flaw in the headset.

The ATH-M50 model has been around long enough to be called their "Flagship Model".
The headset has 45mm cans, which is moderately large.
The headset itself is made of hard plastic, metal, and p/leather. In other words, it is sturdy.
The cups are soft, good for extended listening.
The body collapses for easy use while traveling.
And when you purchase them, you get a traveling bag.

Oh yeah, since you're a fan of Skrillex, I have a present for you.

the beats(solo) is pretty comfortable, folds into a compact shape that fits into a provided carry case... it has also been improved to be more flexible in the later revisions. And I by no means, am trying to say the beats is the best, in fact its not... i just dont find it as bad as some haters make it sound like. On the other hand, audio-technicas are pretty inconsistent with their quality... the model(athon3, not the athm50) that went mainstream here was pretty terrible and almost everybody had one, while beats never actually grabbed the mainstream crowd here. And before you say anything, i have not tried on the ath-m50, so im not going to assume things. i still dont like the athon3 and never will. monster on the other hand, have been pretty consistent with that level of quality with their studios and solos.

Im also aware that skrillex uses ATs... he's not the only artiste that im a fan of that uses ATs. He's also endorsing the Beats line and have been seen with skullcandies.. so i dont really know what you're trying to say.
