I'd be willing to bet a lot of money that most youth weren't begging their parents for $300 headphones before Beats came along.

It hadn't occurred to me until I've been reading through these postings, but it's true: high-end, expensive headphones have traditionally be tragically ugly, almost as though it was a badge of honor to suffer the ugly headphones, because one knew they were getting superior sound quality.
While I'm still such a fan of sound quality that I will continue purchasing terrible-looking headphones, I can't deny that Beats are sexy as hell.
