Rather than looking for fake beats, realize that you can get better or equivalent sound from a lot of other types of headphones. The beats are expensive because of their brand, like anything else if you look for function over fashion, you will get good quality for a lower price.

Just get a nice pair of Sony headphones. I own a pair of beats and I think they are comparable to Sony except the beats just produce a more quality bass.

What the hell does quality mean if not durability or sound quality?

Fuck Beats, they're overpriced pieces of shit. My gaming headset (Astro A30) has better sound quality than them and they're $100 less, plus I can use them on my Xbox/computer

Go Sennhieser. You just want them because of the brand. Even with fake. And fake and quality don't always go well together

this. I've got cx150s and love them. Just make sure you get them somewhere reliable, sennheisers are relatively commonly faked.

hahaha. beats are mediocre as it is and you are looking to buy fake ones? Unless you just want them because they are trendy and look cool, your logic is flawed.

i swear like 50% of my football team wears them to away ames. and all are fake ones. apparently they work pretty fine, fine enough that you would pay 100$+ for fake ones

wouldnt do that myself though

I know from experience beats really arn't that good of a headphone for the price in the first place, second the only one who is going to be impressed with them are 13 year olds and last and probally most obvious if your buying knockoffs you shouldnt be expecting anything from them.
