Originally I was going to write this post about the local launch of the Monster Beats headphones in rap-format – you know, because of the whole Dr. Dre connection – but then I realised that doing so would not only offend any rappers with an inkling of talent out there, but also the global white population for such a terrible attempt at humour. So instead, I decided to write about the Australian arrival of the Dr. Dre Beats headphones in the only poetic artform my heritage as any experience in: The Limerick.
The Monster Beats ‘phones from Doc Dre
Can be picked up in stores from today
For 600 bucks
They’ll quieten trucks
So pick up a pair, don’t delay
Terrible, I know. But trust me – the rap would have been MUCH worse.

Monday, November 17, 2008 at 11:28 AM@Komandoe – Hey, I readily admit that mine was bad. But come on then, show me how a decent limerick on the Beats headphones would go…

Monday, November 17, 2008 at 12:16 PMI have no comment on the rap but I do have a comment on the headphones. I’ll stick to my audiophile headphones than buy something similar to Bose, thank you.

The Truth
Monday, June 28, 2010 at 1:54 PMRead more reviews on this apparently they are not built to last. No durability in construction. 4 out 4 pple complain about them snapping – http://store.apple.com/au/reviews/TX669LL/A?mco=MTcwNzE1NDg
On the other hand, You can overlook above if you put them on in extra Slow Motion and cross your fingers you get muscle spasms.
And the price has gone down now to about 270 RRP

Monday, May 16, 2011 at 11:03 AMWhat a Rip off. These headphones are worth $299 USD.
Even with a lousy exchange rate and shipping charges you’re better off buying them online.
