I bought them as I needed a pair of wireless headphones. The reason I bought these and not anything else in the same price range was that I liked the design and how minimalistic they looked in matte black.
Just checked mine as I use them daily at work for about 1.5 months now. No bending or anything on mine as depicted in your photos. Might just be a coincidence.
I also use them daily, and mine have been good for three months until now. Maybe I've just had some bad luck. I'll post an update if I manage to control the problem, or if they snap, lol
I'd put some metal inside
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll probably try something like that.
Edit: I ended up with prying it open to find the problem. After I identified the problem I decided to try some super glue. It worked very well and fixed the bending issue, but I managed to create another problem. Some glue must've dripped down on the inside, resulting in that I can't adjust the length anymore. So now the headset is useless if I don't find a way to reverse the process
Pretty much anything that'll dissolve superglue will dissolve the paint... It's a tough pickle man.. Acetone/rubbing alcohol is your friend, yet your enemy here. I'm not advising that, as acetone most likely/will dissolve the paint. But it's one of your only shots at dissolving the super glue..

I guess I'll have to try some acetone then. If I manage to keep most of the damage from the acetone on the inside, I believe I'll be able to make it pretty again afterwards, lol
Good luck! If you can see the glue, try to wet it first for a couple hours, and then use acetone. You're trying to get "plastic" off of plastic.. Lol if you get it a little "wet" it might make it easier.

I have the old style Beats by Dre Studio replicas, it's going on 4 years with the headphones, I just recently sold them to a friend. At the time the headphones were actually slightly better in terms of sound than the Gen Beats Studio, the mids and highs were clearer, but I bought the reps because for one they were like 50 dollars compared to 300 and two at the time no headphones had the level of bass (commercial headphones) that the beats had. My friend has the Beats Mixrs replicas and it's also going on 4 years, he uses them all the time at work, if you do your research and take care of of the products, high end rep headphones will last as long as the gen version and certainly longer than cheap gens. Of course there are more defects with reps but you get a good pair and it will last a long time. Most people are buying the new Studios because they are wireless and good sounding and properly working wireless headphones are still kinda expensive.
Are there maybe unauthorised authentic pairs of beats? Even the real ones aren't known for durability though.

Possibly, in my opinion, the rep makers have the Beats headphones down, there is no reason to go gen, my cousin had gen Studios and they snapped within 6 months, I believe the original Studios were re-released with an improved the headband portion cause many of the original releases were breaking. What really sucks was the original Beats studio cost 400 dollars when they first came out.
On Reddit it is universally agreed that ZZ Top/Hi-Street are the best along with David's at Sneakerhead. On the Reddit wiki there is a discount shipping code for Sneakerhead. Both are $200, but you wont get called out. Eva and Jessie are the next best reliable sellers at affordable prices. However, they do have more flaws. Let's be honest though, most of the posts on Repsneakers are from high school kids. Adults are not going to be called out. No pimply teenager is going to demand to inspect an adult's shoes. And if they did....bring it!

Haven't been on for a while so a bit late to answer this. When you choose the frames at your opticians you will sit across from the technician and look straight ahead, she will reach out with a rule at arms length and measure from centre or perhaps from left side of each pupil to the other (once) and that's your PD. I measured mine in a mirror at half an arms length and got iirc 62.5mm.
Lets think about this. The tech., out of half dozen in the shop making up your order may have long or short arms, you may wear your glasses (the point of the ruler) close to or a few more mm from your face depending even on the size of your nose.
As the PD gives the lens/glasses assembler a centre point of the lens in relationship to the frame this has to be an average for use because if you look at something 300mm (1 ft) from your nose you are looking through a different part of the curvature than if it is an infinity gaze.
What I am saying is your wife/significant other at arms length or half your arms length via a mirror will be as accurate as the tech., in the shop. My wife got mine at 63mm, I got it at 62.5mm
If you can get the measurement from your optician at the time of your test that would be good but don't worry too much about it if taking the measurement yourself.

This has never happened to me in the last 15 years or so that I've been buying glasses... it's always been done via machine.
Edit: Does anyone have working links/stores for DW watches with boxes?
I know, I know, crap sucks, but I have a friend who's super into the look and I told her I'd look around for her.
Ordered a nobis yatesy parka from Taobao, everything I found online pointed to there being no fakes of the nobis, so I'm thinking it might be a factory second or something?
Will update when it arrives.

Yes, "loads came up" and the original links were long gone, which is why I asked "working links/stores."
Edit: I realized that you mean the Ali search box and not the thread search box. The whole point of having these two threads is to find places with known good sellers/goods, so what's the problem with asking? If the response is going to be "just go search on Ali yourself" then there's no point to the threads.
The condradiction being that all the original links have long gone yes ?Theres hundeds on there was the point i was trying to make, why not purchase yourself and then share your own helpful links with everyone else, just an idea. Think you have read to much into it, i was trying to be helpful.
