[National] Caution - TeamBuy - $259 for Beats by Dr. Dre Studio Headphones

[fantom]

somebody had a truckload of them to get rid of...

[stewy169]

Are they 100% new? Im willing to bet they are refubs if they are selling it that low. Any warranty? None of that is stated.

Hello they are brand new and sealed (Not Refurbished) They will carry the same warranty as purchasing from any other authorized vendor. We have purchased these from an AUTHORIZED distributor which allows us to resell the product in Canada.

[stewy169]

Are you f'in kidding me??

Hello. Teambuy states FINAL SALE to deter buyers remourse. Of course if they are broken or defective then a refund or replacement will be issued.

[stewy169]

will Monster warrant the product?

Hello, yes Monster will warrant the product. If necessary you can call in to Teambuy and the CEC Team will give the necessary info for you to provide Monster to warrant the product.

Hey Mr. 4 posts. We have no reason to believe you, especially since you refuse to name the distributor. Stay the hell away from this garbage.

If they are brand new, why do they not come with accessories that come with the retail version? Without proof of purchase of the vendor, Monster will not honour the warranty (since the only proof of purchase is a receipt from TeamBuy which is NOT an authorized dealer).

those are arse ugly headphones. for 250 they better keep your ears warm during the winter

Hi All, the following is the email response I received from Beats by Dre™ Support. I would ask for a refund if you already purchase the item. Since Teambuy is not an authorized reseller...one should question where the products is from? Even chain stores like BestBuy might not have 100+ Authentic Dr.Dre Headphones in stock.

So I'm guessing that you'll have to send the headphones to Teambuy, who will then get service from the distributor. There is no way I would trust Teambuy in this instance, considering your customer service's horrible reputation.

suckers born every second

[DeathRazR]

joke deal, pass on this. you are better off going to futureshop/bestbuy make a few friends there and ask for their employee discount on dr dres. if i can recall i rmb they were around $260 on employee discount and you can guarantee they are authentic

[BornRuff]

eeksh... why people still buy an overpriced product like that when it's sub-par to anything in that price category made by people who know a thing or two about music is beyond me...

if you wanted to spend $250 on a pair of headphones that actually sound good, get the best bang for your buck and check these out:

http://www.sennheiser.ca/live/senn/produit/en/643/13

I dare you to test drive these at Steve's or Moog or one of those stores and then actually go buy Beats headphones instead... I double dare you!

The Beats headphones are about a mix of performance and style rather than just good sound quality. Those headphones that you posted, while likely very high quality, would look kind of strange outside of a studio. Obviously advertising, hype, and celebrity endorsement make up a good chunk of the price, but trying to design something that looks good is also a big part of it. If you only care about sound quality, than Beats certainly are not the best deal.

I wouldn't buy these even if they were 50 bucks, but it simply really isn't my style.

LOL - nice thread. Let's how much longer these lame groupbuy sites will last...

[wilsonlam97]

Cause serial numbers are so secure ...

That's irrelevant. He wasn't even able to create valid serial numbers. He just found out how manufacturers made sense of them.
