Why don't people research things before they buy them?

I can't stand people like this. For example, if you wear Beats headphones I'm going to automatically assume you're an idiot.

How lazy can people be, not even taking 10-20 minutes to research a product before they buy it...

It is their money and I don't research every little thing I buy. I didn't buy them so people can buy whatever they want and I won't care about it.

Maybe you're just jealous you can't waste money?

I bought a Cadillac not because it's superior because it's not; just a rebadged chevy.

I bought it so everyone around me knows I have more money than the average American. Jokes aside status symbols do exist, and maybe they just felt like buying them or they're a gift?

For most people, things that are average are good enough. We here are a different group of people than most. We care about getting the highest quality that we can afford for the most part.

Beats aren't a status symbol and neither are Cadillacs , this isn't the 1950s

I agree with buying stuff for the name Beats is not one of them. Anything past necessities it is entirely up to the consumer if they want to spend money to be show-y or practical. That's what it comes down to. Not research.

A $50,000 car is a status symbol. You can't afford that working at Dairy Queen.

Oh and a Cadi drives much better than a chevy :cool:

Can YOU afford a 60,000 Cadillac Escalade? Not sure what world you live in but a cadillac is a very good symbol when it comes to who has some money. Beats ehhhhh not so much.

It all depends on what I am buying on what kind of research I do. If certain consumer products, I go to Consumer Reports. If it is something like shoes or rather work boots, I ask coworkers about what they wear. I don't buy something just because of a name, I buy due to reputation and how utile it is.

I guess I haven't done my research but what is wrong with Beats? They have pretty cool colo schemes and the sound quality is above average. They are a bit over priced but you do get a lot of different options when it comes to customization.

Your example is flawed, I did extensive research on headphones, decided on getting a pair of grado headphones since it was highest rated, but when I tested them out in person the Beats had a warmer sound and stronger bass then the grado when you didn't use a high priced amp.

Honestly most things I buy I research to some extent even makeup and body products. I let my mom buy me a $5 pair of headphones that were on clearance at a store for Christmas and have no complaints about them, they were FIVE BUCKS including tax so I'm not complaining. Anything that's a little more expensive than that I look up before buying.

Well, assuming that someone who wears Beats is an idiot is a pretty safe bet. I have never personally seen an intelligent Beats wearer (doesn't mean they don't exist, but they are few and far between).
