Junk like everything else made today
You might feel fooled on hearing about this.
Or you might merely marvel at the ingenuity offered by designers and marketers to give you what makes you feel good.
You may well be one of the millions who love their Beats headphones. This may be because LeBron James tells you to. Or it may be because Dr. Dre does.
When you put them on, they look just so and every so often you get admiring glances as you walk through an airport with them hanging around your neck like a recent romantic conquest.

Depends upon what types of goods and services are involved. Improved quality of product can lead to greater market demand. And all of the economic models and market assumptions don't mean much when they are consistently undermined by marketing techniques exploiting irrational behavior in people.Quality of product is really just a function of market demand.
Since this brand of headphones are basically considered a consumer trick, a little sidetrack....who can recommend a set of high end phones that are worth the money?
Sony MDR-7506 is my main go-to headphone. And they only cost $99 at Guitar Center or Sam Ash. They are a staple in major studios around the world. GK Ultraphones are actually the Sony MDR-7506 installed into Peltor shooter's earmuffs.
Of course, I like the AKG K240's too, but I own several pairs of the Sony's.
