I can buy an amazing $200 pair of headphones though. The $450 T-shirt works no better than the $2 one.
Depends on your definition of "works". If "works" means "looks fashionable" and "impresses your peers", then the $450 shirt is works a hell of a lot better.
I think my audio technicas look just as cool as beats, if not better.
Depends heavily on your peers.
Went and looked at these t-shirts, you can get just as visually appealing ones for $20. The only impression your trying to make with such a shirt is "I have so much money I don't know things value"
So do tell us, what $200 headphones are so much better than beats?
