[jeirock]

Best vid on YouTube. This should be one Of David Chapelle's when a Nigga keepin it real moment j/k. Honestly though, thanks for this vid. I'm going to Apple tomorrow to buy my detox. 88 Of the dislikes got some fake shit, hahaha

[vandizzy11]

[SWATWAH]

The intro hits hard, if I got fakes, their damn good

[MsCam0011]

yo your true if cant aford theam dont be ashamed soz about spelling

[SobranieGuy]

Hey buddy, I got my Pro(Black) from Amazon Japan(personal seller) by almost $500. I'm not sure whether mine is real or fake..

There are some words on the UPS shipping tag: Amazon Export Sales.

So, I think it should be sold by Amazon officially.

But, the plastic cover of the manual looks very suck...(not tight, the manual almost can swim in it), and also, the manual is same as your white one(a naked woman).

I'm so confused, could you please help me out?

Or could anyone give me some suggestion?

[Blaxxx305]

I got my pros from the MonsterCable outlet store. They were $249.95 refurbished, and with a 25% off discount code (expires feb/29/2012, sorry) I got them for $187.46. It's worth it if you don't really give a crap about the box and papers and you don't feel like spending too much on them. They're basically new, just without the box and papers.

Oh and the outlet store is actually present on MonsterCable through a link, so no it's not a fake site.

[Flightmode747]

i should of watched this video.........if i did i wont have been watching real vs fakes videos for 2 days trying to "prepare" myself for when i go get my beats.........thanks for the realness best video on the beats

[quentinis2cool]

I don't feel that there is anything wrong with getting fakes, especially when they sound so similar..butt hats just my opinion.

[Ambrose96Morgan]

How about you actually buy a pair of fakes and see the sound quality and build quality before you say "ohhh the real sound quality is way better fakes suck .... buy them from best buy " im not saying your wrong im just saying next time you do a video like this have all the facts your right about all the bullshit videos and bullshit sellers thou just saying next time know your shit when it come to the Fake actual product.... good video though i respect your opinion.

[btmsbasketball]

@2004Playboy If you get fake beats do they still sound the same as the real kind and have the same features and everything? Please write back or someone right back because I really want some but I just need to know.

[bleng11]

Did anyone hear a kind of buzzy sound when listening to the intro song cause i did and im kind of worried that my beats are messed up

[bolognapony59]

@bleng11 its cool i have my in and there doing it now as i type this comment it go`s on through the whole video !

[Lachie171]

HELP at the start of the vid my left studio speaker was playing up is there a problem or is it the video (mine r real i got them from jb-hi-fi) it was also playing up during the video but other music and videos are fine so plz help and also i had a work out with these on is there any way sweat could seep in plz help

[legomaster13z]

this vid helped me a lot

[speedinquest]

Yea but wasn't it on the news that somehow best buy was selling fakes as well? I think people were returning replicas to best buy to get store credit. Then they were selling the returned replicas in the store.

So it DOES help to know what things to look for on the box.

It's funny how many unboxing videos are fake on here.

Remember. On the pros. On the bottom there is no space. It should say "beatspro" one word. And also look for the crease marks from the best buy security cable. That's a

[Gelenvader3]

[WhiteOut4life1]

2004Playboy, it's not your opioun what your saying is actully true, same thing goes with say a drug deal toooo many people want to pay for to much example just like headphone, look i got mine at walmart haha yeah walmart because i know how to save my money, only way you can compare another sale is actully go into the store an go check it out, same thing as anyone can sign a peace of paper, takes a man to put in work, so yeah i would know whats fake or not trust me Chicago people sale bunch crap.

[themellowmon]

[champ24bailey13]

[chaseychase812]

[razro95]

There is another way to see if they are fake or real by they have a serail number and Dr.dres signature in the battery compartment.

[23antrock]

[henrywessel8]

great vid...also guyz u can just go on beatsbydre website, go the the verification thing, and type in ur serial number to see if its fake or not...but also like he sed if u got em at best buy, apple, or amazon THERE NOT FAKE

[PMChampagne8]

Wow! You should be one of those spokes people talking to schools or something. Fuckin good speaker, and probably the realest video i have seen for a long time, not just on headphones, but anything. You changed my mind about how im gonna go about buying beats. Im subbing, thanks bro.

[yound19]

ahaha to late i bought some detox pro's

[MrUnitdownunder]

the truth

[wittlejose]

i like my dre studios ....i also like my powerboats and tours....but i always end up using my bose qc15 more ...more comfortable to me ...idk i still like my studios tho

[67Zaka]

@2004Playboy Green eyes? HAHA! Gay.

[TheLarsRosen]

damn, can´t tell if it´s fake or not,

[SwagyyyLeprechaun]

nice vid man!!

[MyMedd]

what the fuck is wrong with those guys its just a fucking BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[haha19111]

Funny dipshit

[PhreshBboy]

I got a pair of studios but these are just shit, lol, im returning this shit. Sennheiser 280s are better than this, i aint hatin, just these headphones should have beter sound for the price

[The1just12]

@PhreshBboy true true but beats are much better looking. But that's personal taste.

[PhreshBboy]

@The1just12 Yea, i really thought the beats were sexy but sound... lol..

[vriezer213]

That was a good vid u tell it straight up

[slappyrascal123]

you r so right.

[himototruggy]

thumbs up, if you listen to this vid with beats:)

[z0Kx]

@himototruggy and thumbs up if they're real! :D

[12onomicprotv1]

but the thing is i ask guitar center who makes the beats by dre they told me they self that they are not made in USA they are made from diffrent countrys ...

[TonyMonica10]

Nice quality on the video lol

[kaanefoleey]

this is the realist video i've watched 4 a long time

[BullDog22CS]

If i purchase a pair from apple same price and everything will they be authentic or is it better to get them from best buy or does it matter? cuz im just deciding from buying from best buy or apple

[bigjakey44]

r u gonna get yer hands on the beats by dre mixr

[ThePSPfreak99]

What about Walmart?

[98Flynn]

I get you man. So many naive people think that they can get real beats for half the price. That's why I bought mine from apple

[xbrettblondinx]

yes keep doin ur thing fuxk the haters strait up u tell it how it is no bullshit

[jinwoos5457]

czballers

shut the hell up

[czballers]

i get what your saying bro. I understand that. But your out of your mind. By looking at the box, you can clearly tell that it is a printoff and that it is flimsy quality. I would know i to bought a fake pair of studios. But for you to say that you can't tell by the box is crap. If you had any decent sense, you would be able to tell that it was prinited off or modified. I compared my box to three of my friends real studio boxes, and in the comparision mine was clearly fake. Thanks fr a crap vid

[douharm2]

tellem bro. live within your means! so hard for some people to do tho.

[muffinkiller8]

hey man ur beats are fake!!! haha lolz jk

[TechnoBuddy]

lol this guy talks about beats like they're the shit, they suck compared to other cans in the price range.

[Exoble]

@TechnoBuddy no they don't...

[TechnoBuddy]

@Exoble compared to other headphones in the price range? yes they do.

[Exoble]

@TechnoBuddy well i agree that they are over priced, but you also pay for the name.

and they have really good bass.

[TechnoBuddy]

@Exoble yeah you are definitely paying for the name, its a fashion accessory, but you just look like a dumbass to me wearing them

[TSMvDeFuse]

yess thankyou.. apparently .. my beats are fake.. My dre is really dark ?.. or.. my box is too small... i didnt even get the online.. i got the from the fuckingg store yall WTF

[leetony51]

dang if they want real ones might as well go to monster to get them.. not online. but get their by airplane even if its gonna cost you

[TheRFJAN]

wow bought an awesome beats studio for $100 :D

[InsideTheZoneTV]

Whats up brah! I love it. You kept it 100 and that was some real talk 2011. Keep it pushin! I told someone that they should just buy some good headphones from Guitar Center for the budget that they have. They paid for some Dre Studios off the street for $120 and couldnt even put the batteries in! LOL A fool and his money will soon part

[2Lazy2SignUp]

This dude is telling the truth. I use to work at best buy and a lot of times people would return the REAL Beats headphones after purchasing some fake ones online, and throwing the fake headphones in the box.

[jgshawn2500]

made a lot of sense don't put your hat where you can reach it!! if you can't afford it leave it get something cheaper,point blank!!!

[mike125306]

is radio shack fake please anwser

[XxsouljamanjfxX]

@mike125306 nah any professional store that u buy dr dre beats is real, here are all the real stores that have REAL BEATS. Best buy. amazon. Target. radio shack. or the offical sight of dr dre beats . the way how u get fakes is buying them from ebay and craiglist and shit. not hatting on those websites cuz i always go there and buy stuff but yeah go to radio shack and buy them there cuz i garantee you will get a real pair of dr dre beats

[goohman]

Also I subbed cause theres a sense of....real...ness in your videos.

[goohman]

I got fake beats, knowing they were fake, and they sounded almost like the ones at my local best buy, I only spent $60 so I think for the quality I got a good deal. I'm not an audiophile but I could tell that my fakes were a little muddy compared to the ones in the store on the same song but I was fine with it. They still had better sound than my Sonys that I paid around $75 for.

[CoDandMoreStuff]

i have 2 studios limited blue edition and a original black. and a red solo hd and a detox. all from bestbuy. then i have around 3 fake studios and 10 white fake pros 20fake tours. and i think 5 fake solos. from dealextreme. com any1 want some fakes?? i sell them on ebay. studios for 150 pros for 100 for solos. i will put some up soon fakes are all packaged. pm if u want some fakes and ill give u my ebay id

[gamingguynick03]

I got my Beats by Dr Dre solo from Radio Shack are they fake!

[MrZAPATA92186]

Great video! You should be a spokesperson for monster bro

[PortableMediaReviews]

Theyre real if you buy them from amazon.com, you have to make sure they are shipped and sold from amazon, not a third party seller.

[AyGirlWhatUp]

i watched this video cuz i wasnt sure if i had real ibeats. Ive been told by tons of friends that have bought fake beats that i have bought fake beats even though they bought it from some "guy" and i bought mine from Target. Now that u confirmed that Target sells it i really do have a peace in mind. I have checked the website if Target was a retailed seller and they are but i just needed an extra confirmation!

[azrul001]

My opinion, get a sony mdr-zx 100 . Its good . It looks like beats and its original. :) And its cheaper than the fake beats.

[CodyModo]

Ha shitty I posted that last comment w out watching the video but ya he says kinda what I said funny shit

[CodyModo]

If ur buying beats from a retail outlet like best buy or staples or whatever they r probably legit, you only get fake/replica beats from shitty Internet sites and odds are you'll know bc the price is super low if u pay full and get f'd ur bad just get ur shit at a legit store like best buy

[SikOdizBooShit]

Im gettin some fake beats by dre ha..good shit bro..I agree with u n rest of videos out there..

[JordanNwr]

Beats suck ass.

[gabrielwild3]

This has helped alot! Thanks because I ordered dr.dre beats tour heaphones form best buy and after I have ordered them I have look for unboxings for them and first I saw fake dr.dre then after I saw this and I thought I was ripped off but thanks I was also thinking of buying them cheaper at ebay then I thought I should get them new"

[nar89976]

lol u forgot the 3rd type people who just watch ur vids cause there bored haha

[MRGHOSTLYXX]

i know this might be a stupid question but is STAPLES a legit place to buy real beats

[lames1351]

I feel the "Box" I feel you.

[bramatthews2]

That awkward moment when your friend buys the real beats for 300 dollars and I get the fake ones for 50 and the only difference is hers has a different cable and a serial number! :P

[keziaxbeyonce97]

to be honest i really like your eye color :D

[DudeQuitBlowing]

@coldnacho yes , i was just there at parris island right ? My bro just graduated from there and theyre only like 129 its like a military discount

[DudeQuitBlowing]

I like this guy , cool vids

[LilBoyYoung]

never buy these youll never know what your really supposed to get

[sqielyr]

Your eye color is very peculiar.

[kanokp1234]

haha! daaamn, i have to admit that you have nice eyes! i forget all about beats..

[HYUGAHINATA100]

Wait... Uhhhm I'm getting some Beats by Dr. Dre Detox Limited Edition Detox Headphones - Beats Pro! And, I'm getting them from Amazon.... But you say that amazon isnt a good place to buy them. And I trust you!!! BUt on Beats by Dre website I go to their amazon link and go to Monsters official Amazon store. I go to their headphones sections and then found my Detox headphones. Im buying for Christmas. Are these real?

[radyabagaskara]

i got studio for $70 , the transformers and grafiti for $140 each .. :) oh , and the earphone one for $15 dollars not joking, and the sound is pretty much good :) it's realy cheap here on indonesia

[coldnacho]

hey i recently purchased a pair of beats but have not opened them yet. I purchased them from a retail shop from an airforce base in south carolina. Would you believe they are real?

[luke4rap]

Loved the video man:-)

[streetstryker]

Hey dude thanks for the video man , thanks to you I just canceled my order from amazon I got studio beets but they where too cheap so I'm going to the store and get the real deal , like u said pay more for peace of mind , is true and makes sense , thanks peace

[galilred89]

Tell you the truth all youse guys are buying is the name, for real, oh ya what about wall-mart they sell beats by dre are those fake, what about sears, or independent records, I'm gonna buy some not sure what kind because I don't take listening to music that serious and also I dislike in-ear types all brands I just don't like em they are not comfortable to me

[Xavierflores2603]

Fuck! This duh is real!

[zebrpenguin2]

i thought about what you were talking about at 7:00 and realized how evil and unconscious you need to be to do that

[MultiCraZman]

I just want to say I have a huge load of respect for you and great quality for your video by the way

[thejazz008]

THIS VIDEO IS AS HONEST AS IT CAN BE. IT CLEARS OUT ANY DOUBT OUT THERE ABOUT DR. DRE BEATS. WANT AUTHENTIC BEATS? BUY 'EM ON: BEST BUY, MONSTER.COM, APPLE AND TARGET.

[drumfoot]

[TheStripedTie]

FUCK i just got my beats for 250 dollars just to find out they're fake. someone's going to die. now

[horipinoy]

there are other types of fake dr dre studio headphones, you have to get the right one.

[MisingDigitCrew]

i'm not trying to be a troll here bc i like your views and opinions on this vid, but i think you meant Fool-proof in the title. correct me if im wrong.

[2004Playboy]

@MisingDigitCrew I used "Full"-Proof in the sense of it being %100 effective. "Fool"-Proof I see as if I was trying to say that this video is for dummies.(which is how I didn't want to come across) I just titled it this way so it's not offensive.

[MisingDigitCrew]

@2004Playboy I stand corrected.

[Bildabong123]

Thank you for being real.. Seriously!

[skaterolivaresj]

you bitch broke my apple haedphones :(

[RasmusMoaningTuber]

[lebronrox96]

Wow dude you just pretty much said the whole truth. You got really good common sense and i respect that.

[xXcashXx3]

[highPurple13]

[zaxis01]

@walmartpimp2
