    I thought my Sennheiser HD 650 and AKG K550 were expensive...

    Not very likely though. A lot of people buying headphones are teenagers. And TBH most don't give a damn about how it sounds. If it looks good, they'll buy it. But they should be aware of that.

    You'd be surprised... Look at this for an example: http://gizmodo.com/5873527/teens-may-not-be-as-tin eared-as-we-previously-thought Teens do care about sound, they just are ignorant of headphone sound quality.

    They care very much about sound quality and can discern the differences. They just aren't informed that there is better quality out there. Many teens (and young adults) still believe that Beats are among the highest quality (audio) you can get.

    I somewhat agree. Most kids only care about the swag factor. Just because they can tell the difference, doesn't mean they are willing to sacrifice being cool by owning Beats.

    Then don't sacrifice Swag.. Get something like the Sennheiser Amperiors... If you're gonna flush 300 down the drain, might as well up the ante to 325 and not flush it at all.

    I'm saying that is what most teens think and do.
