• Family Opens Beats Headphones on Christmas, Finds Tuna Instead
    93 replies, posted
This shit happens ALOT during the holidays, legitimately. People behind the shelves at big stores usually do this and get away with it because the customers that buy the products filled with replacements are usually the ones to blame, and the ones who actually stole/replaced it get away with it. People have been caught doing this, and I honestly hope it happens to one of you nay-sayers, because it can really fuck with you during the holidays. It's something you literally can't fight against, and on top of that, you can also get in trouble for even trying to return what you bought because you'll be blamed for trying to scam whatever store you were fucked by. It's shitty.
It's funny because the more expensive Beats get the worse they sound. The Solo HD's are pretty good but it goes downhill from there; the £380 Pro ones are ludicrously heavy and sound like shit to boot.

[QUOTE=Barbarian887;43342846]deserved it for buying fucking beats headphones[/QUOTE] Imagine a family opening presents on Christmas. This young girl has spent the last month trying to find herself a good pair of headphones. And this one time she was at best buy, and her parents saw her glance towards the beats section. "These are pretty", the girl said, "but they are too expensive". Now, the family saw and remembered that, and since their girl was good this year, they decided to give her a big gift this year. They felt so great, so proud, when their child opened her present with sparkles in her eyes, and then... Tuna. There was tuna.
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;43345091]You're paying for the prestige and the brand, not the quality.[/QUOTE] Also you can put batteries in them to make the sound better. :smithicide:
Oh my god why didn't they put a pile of beets in it what a wasted opportunity of a joke
[QUOTE=Adman;43345371]God knows how it garnered prestige with no quality.[/QUOTE] Because they are doctor approved
My biggest problem with beats is that because of them Dr. Dre still didn't release Detox.
There's something fishy about this story.
Tuna sandwiches are delicious!

The real question is why did you buy beats in the first place lol
[QUOTE=Cmx;43345838]I opened up a movie I got for Christmas and found tuna! Seems to be happening a lot, its an epidemic! [sp]I dont believe this story at all[/sp][/QUOTE] My girlfriend's brother got a brand new copy of Battlefield 4 for Christmas. Removed the plastic wrap, opened it up, and both goddamn discs were missing. So while this story might seem odd, I am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt because weird shit sometimes just happens.
Walmart really doesn't even check. I went to return my Cm Storm Quickfire with Reds to swap out with the version with blues. I opened the box to show her that I had packaged everything, she looked away and started processing the return after seeing that there was something in plastic wrap in the box. She didn't care when I pulled the keyboard out the show the labels on it as well as the extra replacement keycaps, adapter, etc. I think I could have thrown an old dell keyboard in the plastic wrap and she would be none the wiser. Coming from an Online order though I would believe this order would have been tampered by someone at the depot. The shrinkwrap says Steve Lopez though, so don't think it was sealed.
Could have been worse, they could have opened it and found a pair of razer headphones.
Beats headphones have far from shit sound quality, they just have a huge emphasis on the low end and cost way too much. The real morons are those who buy an apple product and dont get decent headphones to go with it. The stock Apple headphones are an insult to sound and human ears. Not to mention brand new ones cost £30... should be fucking banned.

Bought The Incredibles game for Gamecube from Target and it had 2 copies inside.
You know, the strange thing is I actually found a perfectly good pair of Beats in the snow about two weeks ago, perfectly contained in their little carry-case. They worked fine too. Although, I certainly didn't notice anything extraordinary about their quality when I used them once, I opted to just continue using what I use now. When I looked up the price I was a little shocked considering the audio quality of the headphones. Plus, I also felt kind of bad, since I knew somebody out there was definitely upset about losing their 200 dollar headphones.
I bought the Solo HD's (the small headphones) about 4 years ago for ~$120 when I was looking to try new headphones. Reviews were mixed so I wanted to see what they were like for myself, and although the sound quality isn't bad or anything, the sound quality is definitely NOT worth the price. Mine are still working and look like new because I'm always using the case for them (which is handy for putting my iPod into as well) so I usually take them on road trips, especially since it comes with two replaceable cables but both still work. Other than that, I've never recommended them to anyone. To me, Beats are just another overpriced designer product. People can do what they want with their money and get them but they'll just look like tools in everyone else's eyes. $300+ for the Studio headphones? Ha, no thank you.
reminds me of the time when I my sister asked for potatoes for christmas, so my dad spend a whole day unboxing her gifts and filling them with potatoes. It was amazing.

[QUOTE=Kai-ryuu;43347360]HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA i'm fuckin' dying here you should try stand-up sometime.[/QUOTE] Could be a lot better, and yeah the bass is disproportionate, but they aren't the worst things on the market, and they actually do sound fairly decent.
As someone who enjoys canned tuna(I DON'T mean my avatar, just realized I might have given that impression), I feel the real crime is that they got chunk light instead of solid white. I mean yeah, it sucks that they got ripped off and all, but the "thieves" could have at least used the better quality stuff.
[QUOTE=Oscar Lima Echo;43342730]How fucking spoiled would you have to be to cry over beats? [editline]29th December 2013[/editline] Unless it's the sound quality.[/QUOTE] I think it's more because she thought she was getting a pair of "quality" headphones but instead got fish. She must've felt like her parents were playing a cruel joke on her or something.

Marshmellow earbuds are the way to go, blocks out fucking EVERYTHING and they have enough bass to make modern rap songs sound [I]okay[/I] if they happen to come on the radio.
