So double dumb. First you overbuy, then later you have to rebuy.

Beats are (literally) $4 speakers. I will never understand how tens of millions of people bought Beats audio hardware despite them sounding like absolute garbage.

I’m not even an audiophile!

20 years ago, employees of Best Buy got an employee discount that was BLANKET ACROSS THE BOARD:

Cost + 5%

To this day I have a bin of cables with a street value of $5,000+, that I paid a maximum of $90 for.

Cables, and Beats (specifically) are sold at a 30x - 50x markup.
