So I’ve been sporting a pair of Beats by Dre since the headphones burst onto the scene a couple years back. Unfortunately I left them on a train during my most recent trip to Chicago. I started checking online to see if there were any cheaper alternatives to the now absurdly popular Beats. I was not willing to shell out another $300 for a mediocre pair of cans. I found these Audio Technica’s on amazon at a price of $105 so I took a gamble and I bought them online. They just arrived and I think that the sound quality is much better than Beats for a fraction of the price.
