ayex2013: Here are some of the worst price gadgets everyone seems to want or have. You can’t win with these guys so it’s best to just keep your money and buy more reasonable alternatives. Checkout our list of 5 Gadgets That Are All Hype And Overpriced;
1. Beats by Dre

The entire line is complete crap, especially for their ridiculous prices. Did you know that Beats Pro/detox that you saved over 500 dollars to get cost only 3 dollars to make and is still a crap quality headphone? Just giving you the facts people. Yo are buying a lifestyle when you should be buying quality.
2. Samsung Phones

I do not have to reiterate how annoying these are. I mean, they are Android smart phones made entirely of plastic with a weak ass Gorilla glass thing attached to the front. Drop ones and it breaks. And you are expected to shell out over a hundred thousand naira to buy these phones most of the time if you want a flagship something. Can’t be life.
3. Apple Mac Books

Do me a favor, when you are done with this post, kindly take a stroll over to Jumia and check out Mac Book prices… The go all the way up to about a million naira. For a laptop, that needs to charge with electricity and you still have to pay for internet. No Bueno Amigo!!!! The price just doesn’t add up to what we are buying. Sorry!
4. Samsung TVs

The other day mans is strolling through the mall and I see this curved LED TV by Samsung for 30 million naira… No mistakes guys, I call the attendant and asked if there was some kind of error and she did well to hold back her laughter in mockery of my obvious confusion… Then you start to look around and you begin to notice the prices on these things. Samsung needs to be stopped!
5. Smart Watches

The new rave of the moment, everyone wants a Moto 360 or a pebble that will set you back 700-800 dollars, Money that can buy land. And all the watch will do is notify you when your phone is ringing and tell you time and weather. Alright guys, I understand the foolishness. Well done! OBO!

Your problem is not knowing wat you need from wat u admire. I cant buy a phone just to show off wen wat i just need the phone for is Emailing and whatsapp nothing more. And wat makes u think i dnt own over a million bucks? I pity you, with ur meager salary u r talking tough and living large. Your name na sorry.

Posman:

the htcs and iphones r made of aluminium and metallic body and yet the plastic samsung is more expensive
let that sink in... that's the meaning of 'overpriced'

Well bro it might also interest you to note that, the same plastic Samsung phones cost of production is more than that of metallic iPhone cost of production... And still yet Samsung plastic is more cheaper than the metallic iPhone.

So what do you have to say about that?

You forgot to mention the over hyped Ebola virus, just like bird flu Ebola virus is grossly over hyped, we Africans have been eating bird and flu for ages nothing do us, the over hyped Ebola virus is an avenue for the USA to sell ZMAPP to Africans at exorbitant price,the people of southern Kaduna have been feeding on bats for years, they roast or boil the Ebola infested bats and eat it washed down with burukutu and palm wine. And move on with life.

Beats by Dr. A.K.A Dre Studio is not really over hyped as you quoted, but just because is owned by a famous music celebrity, so other celebrities don't joke with such custom made products. Beats by Dr wireless headphone falls at number 8 spot on this list: http://www.minitechblog.com/2014/06/top-10-best-wireless-headphones-2014.html

Shut the fck up, I know you know nothing about sound, one day those cheap #200 headphones you buy from those igbo boys will deafen your hear. Bass on the same level with treble plus the mid. No let brokenness kill you man. Sir Werey.

This Op needs to be jailed for the blatant lies all over this thread. There is never a TV that costs up to #30 Million, that's a very fat lie. The most expensive Samsung TV is not even up to a million naira. Google it yourself.
Talking about overpriced gadgets, it's your choice to buy or not, if it fits your budget go for it and if you can't afford it don't, no one is placing the gun on your head.
I am a Dj and I use the beats by Dre headphones, I know of other headphones that are lesser in price and have good qualities but, most times a Dj has to stand out from others... It fits my lifestyle and I love it.
