Putting Mark's agressive marketing and x-cite support asside, the Beats are a great pair of headphones. However, they cater a certain lifestyle. What i'm trying to say is, if you get to travel on a regular basis and and have no speakers at home or in your car, then by all means these head-phones were made for you because you wont be using them anywhere else! On the other hand, if you are like me, and lead an active and healthy lifestyle that includes running and working out on a daily basis, and you have speakers in your car, and at your home, then dont bother buying the Beats because its a waste of money.

It's just a stupid headphone for crying out loud. Go ahead Mark, buy the damn thing and close this thread already. Sheesh :) You guys are still arguing?

However since the 'beats' is already having a built in amp...i dont see why u would need an amp in case u decide to get 'beats'. such amps can be excellent choice in case u get passive headphones....particularly the mid fi & higher models.
