Just list some overrated products and brands. Feel free to quote if you disagree with any.

Bose - lol Bose. Probably the most overrated audio company to date. Seriously, every speaker and headphone I've heard from Bose sounds like it isn't even close to being worth the price.

Turtle Beach - Take a headphone that sounds like one half the price and slap a mic on it. (Applies to more expensive models.)

Monster/Beats - Probably the worst overall company to date. Not only do they make a fortune of Beats Headphones (which aren't even worth half of what they're worth), but they even price HDMI cables at 100 Dollars when you can get one with the same picture quality for $10.00.

Dell - Makes overpriced underpowered PC's.

Interesting topic. :P

NO

I have Bose headphones and speakers that were well worth the price.

Umm, Apple is the only overrated company I can think of.

Sony - used to be a good electronic company, but now it seems like most of their products are poorly made and brake with in about a year. Plus they're total Nazi's when it comes to warranties. Also, some of their plugs use special wires so you can't replace them with non Sony ones.
Sony is still good, just REALLY, REALLY sleazy.

Really? Did you compare them with other brands before buying them? My dad has Bose Speakers and they don't sound that great imo. Not terrible, but when compared to brands like Klipsch and Polk Audio, there's no comparison. Even my Sony Speakers blew them out of the water. And as far as headphones go, once again, you can get much better sounding equipment for less. My local bestbuy had some Philips and Klipsch headphones that were in the similar price range and they both sounded much better than Bose.

I don't know what your on about Sony, but to date I've had no trouble with any product, A\and in turn I don't know about their warranty system or such. Turtle Beach is not overrated, most people know out of the big 3 they're are the poorest, but still good and a perfect thing for average gamers. People who really want a good headset usually go Astro.

You can't deny that Apple products are great. Some products are a tad overpriced, but they're great at what they do and excel in areas where non-apple products tend to fall.
I'm a PC/android user, but I'm always a little envious.

A really overrated brand imo, is Gibson. They're a long running guitar company that created a ton of famous guitars for lots of famous people. Although some of their guitars look absolutely beautiful and sound great, a lot of them look terrible and are terribly made. Not only that, but, they take the Apple-esque approach of upgrading their products each year, making unneeded changes while increasing the price. And they have like 20 variations of each guitar, all barely any different from one another, and all thousands dollars more.

One really overrated product would have to be the Blackberry. RIM is a really shitty company. Each new blackberry pretty much only gets a new keyboard and a new wheel thing. Blackberries can't really do much at all. All it has going for it is BBM. And there are like no good apps for it either.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK.

I haven't really tried out enough products to really judge what's overrated or not.

For the apple, my dad knows a good sales guy. So I got an iPad about a year ago and the price I got it is about $100 less than it is now.



So as long as you can get a good deal you get a nice product. Jut find a good deal an Apple is amazing.

I can do so much stuff on it with good mobility. So Apple is great unless you decide to go to a store and buy it fr the price there.

Apple was never something I really liked. I had a hand-me-down iPod, which my sister broke RIGHT when she gave it to me.

But you have to admit, Apple products are very fragile and are very susceptible to breakage. The iPod I have now is my third. I've had it for a little over a year, and it's only thanks to the plastic cover that it's in that it hasn't broken yet. I've dropped it so many times. At least it still works, but...they need to find a better way to get this stuff to last longer than a couple of years. We're clumsy, so dropping it is going to happen at least one or two times. But if you drop it in JUST the right spot, it's done for. So, it's the weak design that's their fault. Not the fact that it got broken.

you've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?
My Nano has been dented, scratched all to hell, and thrown into a cement wall, and it still works fine. I've had it for about three years or so.
