Isn't Beats by Dre considered not top of the line when it comes to sound quality and more like a fashion brand?

I'm not saying that they are bad, just that they aren't at the same level as brands like bose and sennheiser which are way less focused on celebrities branding.

The same level as Bose? The company famous for simply turning up the bass? Now they're used as an example of quality? How times change!

Hear the same thing about beats, too much bass.

Anyway, the point still stands, Beats is considered a fashion brand, it was used by athletes all around the world a couple years ago, now athletes are all in on apple airpods and it's been a while since I've seen someone talking about buying a beats.

yes, which is why i just but Sennheiser, because it's clear they really care about the music.
