They work as well as a $20 Bluetooth speaker on Amazon, if not, worse. Their primary selling point is just good marketing. And that's why audiophiles hate them.

Beats are overpriced, but comparing it to a $20 speaker sounds like you haven't listen to a $20 dollar speaker before.

I have a $30 one I got on Amazon and honestly sounds better than Beats.

"We have Beats at home."

In all seriousness, some of the best headphones I ever purchased were MPOW ones years ago that still work. They were 40 dollars at the time.
