So I've had my pair of Beats by Dre HD Solo's for around a year. I paid I guess around $250 for these around a year ago. Out of nowhere the other night I picked them up to place them on my head and they just snapped. No unusual motion or mistreatment of them. The sound quality of these actually pleased me. I've heard a lot of negativity surrounding this brand but I never believed any of it. All of us hip-hop heads have plenty of respect for Dr. Dre. The quality of the build of the headphones just isn't there. These headphones are made of plastic. They snapped easier than I could snap a tree branch in my yard. Not surprised whatsoever. The worst part about the whole thing is I have done a little research around this problem and it seems to be a very prevalent problem. People posting youtube video and what not having the same thing occur. I sent Beats by Dre an e-mail requesting atleast a replacement part if not a replacement headphone at full. You'd think they had a warranty that at least covered a year or so. I've yet to hear back from them. I plan on going up to by local Best Buy where I purchased them and raising hell. There might a slight possibly that one of my parents purchased the accident plan. I know more than likely the end result will be that they will refuse to replace the product or even take the time to help me out judging by what most other people seemed to have experienced. Anyone else had this problem? Thoughts?
