I asked for Beats back when i was a teen for my birthday. They were fairly new still and everyone thought it was so cool i had a pair. Eventually they got old and I replaced them with Audiotechnica headphones that were a fraction of the price and holy shit I never knew how poor the sound quality of Beats were before that moment lol.
I used to work retail and was helping a college aged guy pick out some new headphones. He was deciding between some Beats and some Bose headphones. I literally asked him “do you want something that sounds good or looks good” and was amazed he actually said “looks good”. So I reluctantly sold him the Beats.
I mean, if your intent is to be ignored, why would you want the supposedly “cool” one, then? Seems antithetical, like they’re just a douche who wants to look cool and use it as an excuse to ignore people they don’t want to socialize with.
Beats headphones.
“Oh yeah those look cool. Did you want something that sounds good though?”

Hah, I appreciate the honesty though 😂
Sometimes the headphones are just a public statement of “Don’t talk to me please.”, and the music is just secondary. In that case, the looks may win.
