Beats has been accused of adding weight to their headphones in the past that serves no obvious function other than to give them a premium feel.

It will be interesting to see the teardown video.

I get what you're saying, but I'd be very surprised if they added extra weight in these ones. They're made of solid metal and have magnets to hold the ear pads in. I imagine that's enough to account for their weight.
