    ROTFLMAO!!! Scamsung photocopiers strike again by ripping off Beats design of the Studio and Solo series!

    Only this time, they'll have Jimmie to deal with, and based on how he's now gone after Chinese knock-off makers, Scamsung will be in for a WORLD of pain!!!

    I can't wait for Jimmy Lovine to get samsung for this!

    Those look like Beats. They look nice! Oh wait there Samsung knock offs. What the hell is wrong with Samsung. They don't know shit about quality and how do you put that into audio. I had a S2 and the quality compared to my iPhone is nothing.

    The funniest part is when you see a samsung galaxy in some ones hands while playing music, the speaker is always getting covered by the person's fingers or palm.

    Samsung and Beats are both fashion accessories. Neither is about "premium sound." They're just designed to make the wearer look cool.

    Simply: Samsung don't understand the consumers perception of a premium brand.

    Each time Samsung copy the design of another brand, they're not stealing sales, they're saying "hey this other brand thinks and designs better than we do."

    Each time Samsung markets a cheap device, they're not stealing sales, they're saying "we are the brand that sells cheap stuff, we will sacrifice quality to meet a price point"

    Luxury and premium goods consumers do not feel affinity or loyalty with that kind of brand. The result is precisely what we see with Samsung in the smartphone market. Lots of sales down the bottom, and relatively weak sales up the top.

    A person who walks into a luxury car dealership does not need to concern themselves with the technical minutia of the vehicles. The consumer understands that the marque will not put out a low quality product. People who purchase from Samsung don't have this convenience of confidence, it makes the consumer question the product quality and the more pricy options.

    Are you kidding? They're probably made by the exact same company that makes the headphones for beats.

    People are saying they look nice — and I agree— and then noting they look like they copied from Beats — and I agree — which means those people are saying that Beats look nice — I agree again.

    Perhaps there aren't enough people chiming in yet but I distinctly remember during the rumour phase of the Beats acquisition an excessive number of people — although perhaps not the same people — saying that Beats were ugly, hideous and obnoxious looking.

    The face of Level will be one-hit wonder, Psy singing "Gang-nam Style." All the cool kids in Koreatown will be wearing them.

    And in other news today, Samsung announced the new website www.appleinsidergalaxy.com. 

     

    What else can Samsung copy?  The new GalaxyBMW320i.

     

    The Samsung Hershey Bar with Almonds.

     

    Why stop copying Apple?  Go for it Samsung!  Copy from every company!

    So they'll probably be overpriced and have laughable sound quality? Coming from Samsung I can't say I'd be too surprised I suppose.

    Ok, I hate Samesung as much as most people on this forum and refuse to buy any of their products but (yes I know it's a but), I just don't see the resemblance between these and Beats, to me they look totally different, well as different as they can be given most headphone look similar.

     

    Can someone please post images comparing the two, I've looked online but can't find anything similar by Beats. They may have copied the business model but I don't believe they have copied the look.

     

    I'm still not going to buy them, cause they are SameDung, however I think people are trying to find fault were none may exist.

     

    Flame away.

    Next up? As an answer to Apple/Nike they'll roll out Samsung/Under Armour

    This allows Samsung to better copy Apple's marketing strategy.

    The Left Over model lacks support for AAC over Bluetooth and consequently will sound poor when paired with an iPhone. Beats supports apt-x and AAC.

    The original Beats designs were (IMHO) ugly and obnoxious, but the latest models look good and sound good. Critics are loath to give the company a second look and a second hearing, preferring instead to continue the old carp.

    No no... they'd call it the GMW i328. Then they'd make a higher performance variant called the 3M.

    The hatred against Samsung on this site is astounding. You guys do realize that nearly all if not all Apple devices use Sammy parts don't you?
