@Starblind Er, don't knock the beets; they have a good beat. Bah, my crap can't compare to the original joke. I'm bitter about my lack of vegetable based comedy skills...
@6squarefeet A bunch of employees bought them? Edit - In looking at the map, that's where Houston is. A bunch of foreigners bought them and they're being shipped by a forwarding company in Houston?
@6squarefeet well, now it's California... So we can save time and just ship them to a dump in L.A. and get meh back on track with something much better... Like a meh tee for $1.
@gdhussak That's a great deal. I got just the black M50x's for roughly that price over the summer. For those wondering, the only differences that the little "x" in the model number bring is a detachable cord and you get three cords with it (short straight, long straight, and coiled).
I see what you did with that writeup. The problem....instead of snarky it came off like a bit#hy jealous girlfriend who knows she can't compete so she goes on maury to run down the new one and get a pregnancy test. Bad form
@Cinoclav By the time you chop out listing costs and paypal fee's you'll be lucky to make a few dollars at best. eBay used to be great, now they take most of the profits.
@Cinoclav I used to do this when woot was the place for a good deal. I'd make $2-5 per item on average. It was fun and decently profitable when I ramped up the volume. Entering listings was always a PITA, but shipping became a breeze with Paypal, USPS, and a DYMO label printer. It all went to shit when Paypal froze my account. I couldn't ship anything (or withdraw money to pay my CC bill) until it was resolved. I went from making $1000 a month to losing $20,000 overnight. Never again.
ok, meh- i admit it- i'm in love with you. i may not respect you all the time, or even call you when i say i will, but at least i remember your name, and the first time we met (i think it involved tequila and a stuffed leprechaun). but your description of today's item-of-questionable-value (iqv) is sublimely perfect, and absolutely what i want in a supplier of iqv's- snarkled honesty. if it wasn't for the vasectomy, i'd want to have kids with you and raise them to be irresponsible, smart-assed little mehs, just as their undistinguished lineage would suggest. I salute you- just don't ask with what.
Someone gifted me some Sennhesier HD598s recently. Not sure if I'll want for anything else, though I do need some decent closed-ear types for monitors.
You've pretty much always been able to get them at this price new. Meh doesn't always deliver the best stuff but it at least usually has a good price. This is a letdown.
Nice color, aggressive marketing, mediocre headphone - Sennheiser Momentums for less than $100 will sound and feel much better - even a set of Fostex T20RP will massively outperform the Beats, but you'll look pretty damn dorky on the street....
Here's a thread from folks who care about sonics and quality:
If you dig around the page linked in the article enough I finally found where they did the Beats2 review. They said basically at 150 it was probably worth the price but not 200. I am assuming this is a solid buy for 120, although I don't need headphones.
What I didn't know while spending a hour reading articles waiting on my Turkey to dig through my intestines was apparently headphones are like clothing for your ears. You can step up grade and quality starting at $10 to over $2000 in $25-$50 increments all the way. So if you want better headphones and don't mind paying a little more there is better options.
I guess the lesson here is decide the maximum you will pay and work down from there.
I've been waiting for a deal on the Solo2's and jumped on it. Worst Buy, Tar-zay, & Sprawl-Mart are all selling last years discontinued models for $80-$100 (if you can still find them)! I know all you Beats haters gonna hate, but this is a really good deal!
@drt1965 Its a good deal on meh sound quality headphones. If you care about how they look and less about how they sound Beats are the way to go. They do look nice, especially the red ones.
@hardiksha I Am sure meh support will provide you with a sharpie… actually if you ordered already email halp@meh.com or click on support and ask them to fix it, presuming the color you want hasn't sold out yet. No idea what would happen if you ordered the color you wanted and then tried to cancel the original order.
I bought my kid some ear buds for $6.79 yesterday and still feel I paid too much. Thanks, meh, for not tempting me with good deals yesterday or today. My credit card took enough of a hit as it is from my Amazon and Wal Mart purchases.
I was expecting a frying pan......black in color.....you can figure it out....oh and I am very impressed with the fact that you guys almost did $100,000 in sales today. woot-off my ass, I love this place
My teenage son gave his solos to his brother because he wanted the Solo 2. I told him 200 was ridiculous for him to spend on headphones again. He saw these and said "But 120 isn't" Curse you meh, in for one
It's been brought to our attention that we had a system issue which caused some, not all, tracking numbers to be loaded to the order pages incorrectly. This issue caused customers to be able to view tracking information for an incorrect order instead of their own.
We can confirm that all orders were in fact shipped to the correct address, however.
We are working to have the correct tracking numbers loaded to the site ASAP and should have this done by EOD.
We apologize for the screw up on our part here. Let us know if you have any questions.
@MEHcus my tracking number is wrong also it's showing some wrong delivered address kindly help me my email id is hardiksha@gmail.com haven't received the beats by dre yet my order shows despatched with wrong tracking no pl provide correct details n tracking no
@hardiksha I've just replied to your email with the correct tracking number. The tracking info has also been updated to your My Orders page at https://meh.com/orders
If you still have the wrong shipping info go to https://www.fedex.com/AltRefTracking and put in your Country, Zip Code, and meh.com Reference Number and your package info will pop up. Worked for me :)
I need a representative from Meh to contact me through my email. I received my shipment that said "Qty:2" but there was only ONE in the box!!!!! cortneynowak@yahoo.com
I so wish I would have listened to everyone. 3 months later and no sound out of one side. Beats are worthless - my kids love the name and style but the quality is worse than horrible. I will probably trash them. It is such a hassle getting repairs on these - hopefully Apple cares more than previous company owner.

@mediocrebot I love purple.
@mediocrebot fuck Beats - paying top dollar for a name brand with terrible performance specs. Meh!
Boo! Meh! A waste of a good Black Friday shocker!
Well I sure rushed over here for nothing.
Ya don't agree with this at all.
I'd rather spend $120 on beets.
@Starblind I see what you did there.
@RicoSuave "See"? He's blind.....jk
@Starblind ok, where's the purple freaks...?
I love purple.
@Stallion Is that why the "Star" number is high?
@Starblind Er, don't knock the beets; they have a good beat. Bah, my crap can't compare to the original joke. I'm bitter about my lack of vegetable based comedy skills...
Great write-up.
Meh
I feel the same way. Good night.
Ooooooh....damn
Fuku Black Friday!
Well played, MEH...well played.
This is the Mediocrity we should have expected. Well played Meh... well played...
This epitomizes all regular Black Friday sales.
What shade of red are those?
@SSteve Un-Georgia Red, Sorry
@Stallion Don't apologize to me. It's someone else who will be disappointed.
I love purple.
Meh. Thank you, no.
You know what, meh, I respect and support your stance. I am disappointed, but with the logic you provided, I can't really argue.
Back to gluttony!
Well, I mean, it is a good deal and stuff. But out of principle I can't ever buy these...just no.
My expectations are meht. Love the write up!
why
@6squarefeet A bunch of employees bought them? Edit - In looking at the map, that's where Houston is. A bunch of foreigners bought them and they're being shipped by a forwarding company in Houston?
@6squarefeet well, now it's California... So we can save time and just ship them to a dump in L.A. and get meh back on track with something much better... Like a meh tee for $1.
I'm thinking purple tee, grey ink...
I love purple.
Indeed.. Well played.
Now if they were Klipsch I probably would have bit. :)
@Barney likes purple
@Stallion I love purple.
Well done! Love the writeup.
@madamehardy I must agree, they let us all know how it goes! Let it be known EVERY DAY is Black Friday on Meh, whether we all like it or not.
That Rodent is Of Unusual Size
I camped out all night for this?
Did you guys find the secret link?! Sweet!!
@DarthJay Dont lie to me...
@bxm83 Sorry - that was kinda evil, wasn't it? Meh.
No. Nope. Uh uh. Nyet. Nein. Meh.
Meh. beats are just terrible, i aint even mad.
Why oh why did I order these? Damn you meh for making me buy such mediocre products
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
I love purple.
@jrwofuga To Hell With georgia!
@dunda - The state or the country?
@KDemo Neither.
@jrwofuga Have you been able to find enough Georgia Red items to justify your VMP membership?
@jrwofuga That's my boy!
@PWiddy power of positive thinking.
@jrwofuga ...is apparently not working ;-)
@KDemo Don't listen to people like him. . so full of rage/regret. It's sad.
I only came here for the speaker docks. So disappointed :-(
Let me be the first to suggest Audio Technica ATH-M50's if you want superb quality in this price range. I love mine.
@Mac454 Well - those that are interested in taking your suggestion are in luck - ATH-M50x plus amp for $135 (free shipping): http://slickdeals.net/f/7439287-audio-technica-ath-m50x-blue-professional-headphones-fiio-e6-amplifier-135-with-free-shipping?utm_campaign=137267&utm_medium=fptweet&utm_source=twitter
@Mac454 I concur. They're great closed headphones, especially for the price.
@gdhussak That's a great deal. I got just the black M50x's for roughly that price over the summer. For those wondering, the only differences that the little "x" in the model number bring is a detachable cord and you get three cords with it (short straight, long straight, and coiled).
@gdhussak Sweet! Nice deal, thanks. The blue one is more money at Amazon.
I love purple.
Beats? No!!!!
I see what you did with that writeup. The problem....instead of snarky it came off like a bit#hy jealous girlfriend who knows she can't compete so she goes on maury to run down the new one and get a pregnancy test. Bad form
Oh and as a fomer Bose employee.. Meh on beats
@msujp Oh gawd, not Bose...
Grado Labs, FTW. SR-80s are the best bang for your buck that I've ever heard.
I'm almost tempted to buy 3 and resell two. They're going on eBay on average for over $150.
@Cinoclav By the time you chop out listing costs and paypal fee's you'll be lucky to make a few dollars at best. eBay used to be great, now they take most of the profits.
@Stallion I could make an easy $40 - $50. Or I could simply get up in the morning and go to work for an hour or two and do that. I was only tempted...
@Stallion EBay has totality squeezed the profit out of small margin items.
@Cinoclav I used to do this when woot was the place for a good deal. I'd make $2-5 per item on average. It was fun and decently profitable when I ramped up the volume. Entering listings was always a PITA, but shipping became a breeze with Paypal, USPS, and a DYMO label printer. It all went to shit when Paypal froze my account. I couldn't ship anything (or withdraw money to pay my CC bill) until it was resolved. I went from making $1000 a month to losing $20,000 overnight. Never again.
Solo2. For that name alone, meh.
Thanks for the Meh deal today. I really appreciate you not tempting me to stress out and buy something before it sells out.
I'd rather Buy Other Sound Equipment. Meh squared.
@Headly I wouldn't buy that equipment either!
ok, meh- i admit it- i'm in love with you. i may not respect you all the time, or even call you when i say i will, but at least i remember your name, and the first time we met (i think it involved tequila and a stuffed leprechaun). but your description of today's item-of-questionable-value (iqv) is sublimely perfect, and absolutely what i want in a supplier of iqv's- snarkled honesty. if it wasn't for the vasectomy, i'd want to have kids with you and raise them to be irresponsible, smart-assed little mehs, just as their undistinguished lineage would suggest. I salute you- just don't ask with what.
@alacrity I regret that I can only give you one star.
@2many2no as a chronic under-acheiver i consider that the highest of praise.
Someone gifted me some Sennhesier HD598s recently. Not sure if I'll want for anything else, though I do need some decent closed-ear types for monitors.
For straight-up enjoyment, though... I got mine.
Beats? I wish I could give a a thousand mehs.
@cathasach is it true these headphones basically sabotage your devices for other headphones?
You've pretty much always been able to get them at this price new. Meh doesn't always deliver the best stuff but it at least usually has a good price. This is a letdown.
I wouldn't buy any headphone for that price but the truth to that write-up makes me sort of want to. DAMN you meh for your mind games.
Yes, the write up is great and you picked the right item to disappoint almost everyone. Mission accomplished. MEH!
Not cheap enough. Headphones all break in the same place(s) no matter how good they are, or how expensive they are, or what style they are.
Was looking forward to what Meh would offer for Black Friday but I'm sorely disappointed. I suspect that dastardly Singing Cowboy is to blame.
At least the headphones are not refurbished though so that's good I guess...
@Guy767 @cengland0 is to blame, for sure.
What a waste of a good black Friday. Hopefully cyber-monday will be better.
@Skylord123 You TL:DR'd today's write up, huh?
@Thumperchick They could do the same exact deal on Monday.
Funny, I was already expecting to be disappointed when I checked the site, and I wasn't even thinking about it being Black Friday.
Nice color, aggressive marketing, mediocre headphone - Sennheiser Momentums for less than $100 will sound and feel much better - even a set of Fostex T20RP will massively outperform the Beats, but you'll look pretty damn dorky on the street....
Here's a thread from folks who care about sonics and quality:

Cheers

On the other hand, if they were Beats by Ray Rice I'd totally buy them.
@Al_Coholic Lmfao!
@Al_Coholic ಠ_ಠ
Ahmehzing! What will Small Business Saturday bring? 는 보라색 사랑.
If you plug these in upside down will they work as speaker docks?
Do these come with a microphone so I can play Call of Duty?
$70 at target today. Mega fail.
@givemeyoursoul i only see it for $199.99
@givemeyoursoul Can you provide a link to what you are seeing because from what I see, target has them for $199.99.
@cengland0 I was incorrect. it was the solo HD, and they were $70 off, making them 97.
very meh deal
Meh I have had better
If you dig around the page linked in the article enough I finally found where they did the Beats2 review. They said basically at 150 it was probably worth the price but not 200. I am assuming this is a solid buy for 120, although I don't need headphones.

I guess the lesson here is decide the maximum you will pay and work down from there.
This is a great compromise for my 13yo and myself. Me knowing Beats are overpriced but him wanting what's trendy...thanks meh. Best price out there.
I've been waiting for a deal on the Solo2's and jumped on it. Worst Buy, Tar-zay, & Sprawl-Mart are all selling last years discontinued models for $80-$100 (if you can still find them)! I know all you Beats haters gonna hate, but this is a really good deal!
@drt1965 Worst case scenario: Sell them on Craigslist for $150.
@drt1965 Its a good deal on meh sound quality headphones. If you care about how they look and less about how they sound Beats are the way to go. They do look nice, especially the red ones.
@ijm1991 Good idea. Never thought of that!
@Dash I thought about getting the red ones, but they looked kinda pink! Didn't want anyone dissin' my pink Beats! lol
@drt1965 Now pink beats I would pay $120 for. If you're buying for style, you better be fabulous.
Meh'dphones.
I actually was really hoping for a speaker dock. Whatever you do, don't bring the Neato back cause I just bought one elsewhere for $10 more =(
Can I change the colour of my beats
@hardiksha I Am sure meh support will provide you with a sharpie… actually if you ordered already email halp@meh.com or click on support and ask them to fix it, presuming the color you want hasn't sold out yet. No idea what would happen if you ordered the color you wanted and then tried to cancel the original order.
@Kidsandliz actually, they'll just offer to cancel your order or throw some glitter on the ones you have.
I bought my kid some ear buds for $6.79 yesterday and still feel I paid too much. Thanks, meh, for not tempting me with good deals yesterday or today. My credit card took enough of a hit as it is from my Amazon and Wal Mart purchases.
yeah not impressed today, Meh.
I was expecting a frying pan......black in color.....you can figure it out....oh and I am very impressed with the fact that you guys almost did $100,000 in sales today.
woot-off my ass, I love this place
My teenage son gave his solos to his brother because he wanted the Solo 2. I told him 200 was ridiculous for him to spend on headphones again. He saw these and said "But 120 isn't" Curse you meh, in for one
i don't need it but i want to buy it.
what did you do?
Actually awesome sounding. Less bass bump than HD. Bought set. Thx meh
When can I expect delivery
@lwittu generally a couple weeks. Check the FAQ on the bottom of the main page.
@SSteve and that would be along wait. Hope they'll ship it just like a blink of an eye. Oh, thats lightnkng fast meh!
취소해달라고 했는데 아직 처리가 안됬네요...
@gaoong 아마 땡스기빙 지나고 월욜 첫 출근이라 일이 많이 밀렸을거에요. 조금만 더 기다려 보세여...
These are brand new I hope.
Has anyone's beats shipped yet by chance?
When will be shipped?
@Plyons @yeondoo -- These should ship out today or tomorrow at the latest and you'll have tracking at https://meh.com/orders once they do.
@JonT They shipped today. Tracking should be visible on your account tomorrow morning.
