    Bose: Why Audiophiles Should Stop the Hate

    Judge Denies Monster Cable in Fanny Wang Beats Case

    To Fanny Wang Calling Monster out on their record of law suites does not change the fact your headphones look like cheap copies. Anyone can look at the headphones and see they are basically the same. Very unoriginal. If you really wanted to compete, there are a few improvements you could...
