I would.

Out of interest, what amp are you using to power those beasts? Surely not from your laptop or whatever 		2011-02-04 17:01:00

Not personally because I can get some for half the price but I know some people who would pay that much because they're crazy about audio stuff.. So umm, no.
BUt it's a good choice nonetheless.		2011-02-04 17:02:00

When I read the price I immediately knew it was Beats by Dr. Dre.

My friend has some and I think they sound good but I don't know, I guess I'm too used to my headphones to use some DJ Headphones.

I think one of my friends has the Lady Gaga Heartbeats too, I wonder how those sound o:

If I ever get money to just throw around, I'd get these (http://www.geekalerts.com/u/tron-headphones-daft-punk2.png).		2011-02-04 19:11:00

I found some from Argos for ?20, and the quality is just brilliant! You wouldn't expect it for the price! Surround sound too. Sounds amazing on LBP2 or Bad Company 2 due to the surround sound! You can hear which direction the sound of an object breaking comes from in LBP, or footsteps and gunfire on BC2

I laughed when I clicked on the thread. I immediately thought of Beats when I saw the thread title.
Short answer, hell no. I have Sony MDR headphones. 50 bucks, sounds as great as I would ever care for. I don't need to hear the breaths of artists in order to really enjoy music. I can go visit friends cross country with the money saved, round trip at that.

Now, if you have the means to buy them, go nuts. I'm sure they are fine headphones, unlike the Skull Candy crap. (Waste of money on hipster account of good quality)
I do want to say that it's amazingly cheaper here in the states, I saw multiple pairs of these headphones going for 175 USD at Staples, an office supply chain. So.. make of that what you want.		2011-02-04 21:11:00

Man, those things can block out noise.

@Bounty; yeah they are pretty expensive earbuds, but they do look fancy 		2011-02-04 21:14:00

...

Maybe I was screwed when it comes to Skull Candy, but so far the only two pairs I've ever worn sucked big time.
One I was borrowed was crap, one I bought was worse. Sounded almost like.. double mono sound, with missing details. Ended up giving them to niece when she needed some.		2011-02-04 21:25:00

Did you have the earbuds or the DJ headphones? I've never used the headphones but my friend has the one with the little amp attachment and he loves them.

The only thing I hated about the Skull Candy earbuds at first was that you had to jam them into your ear. But then you get used to it and it doesn't feel like your ear is being torn apart by a cheeto.

Headphones, but were not fancy, just regular sized, kinda small. Maybe that's the issue.. Great expensive line, terrible "economy" line. If that's the case then ah well, on me. Enjoy the donation Skull Candy.
lol @ cheeto comment, that's why I much prefer regular headphones.		2011-02-04 21:40:00

?275? Hold on sec.

*Uses the magical currency conventer*

That's about 326?. and that's impossible amount to reach while I'm still studying.
Those would be awesome, but I only when I get extra 326? in my right pocket.		2011-02-04 21:50:00

Left pocket is reserved for my keys and lucky charms.

While it's expensive, I understand the want for good quality headphones. My last pair were ?100, and my next pair will be sannheiser IE8's (in ear though). That'll set me back a bit under 200 D:2011-02-05 14:51:00
