the point is that they're most probably not better than inexpensive ones - but people know that the brand is currently quite popular and so are buying into it. we see it all the time with clothing and because more young people are slowly getting more disposable income, they can just about afford to start splashing out on things like expensive headphones, watches, bags etc. (or get them as gifts). so your whole point can be applied to, well, everything which is purchasable and has its own market - as we all know that just because it's expensive, doesn't mean it's quality equates its price. why do people buy brand food products when there isn't much difference between brands and the supermarkets own brand? those who buy the more expensive products aren't seen as wasting their money are they? it's just their preference. which is just the same as what's happening right now. oh, and no one is "wasting their money" if they're aware that they can buy cheaper alternatives and are just buying into the brand itself - the whole concept of fashion is to "look cool", and buying things that are currently "in fashion" is what everyone does to some extent.Whenever my friends see someone with these headphones they always joke with each other about how the person completely wasted their money just to look "cool". I have to say there are several kids I've seen who wear them 24/7 and it's obvious they just like to show them off because they think it makes them look good or something along those lines. I don't know much about headphones to tell you the truth, but I don't know how those very expensive headphones are any better then much more inexpensive ones.
Took them to town today with my nan,
went in HMV.
Showed the girl the problem at the till and showed the receipt.
She just replaced them with a brand new set. Got black this time around.
