It's not about being hipster. I've spent years combining different headphones with different DACs and amps, to get a good sound, tried tens of devices with different use cases. Those use cases include being a fashion item as well. I respect that, though it doesn't matter for me unless it looks really bad. I also think the beats headphones don't even look that good. Add to that the terrible sound quality[1], it becomes a no-go. I mean it. It really is bad. Maybe your ears are not very sensitive (it's a possibility) or your source is bad but I find it impossible for someone not to notice at least the loss of detail when they compare beats to a proper pair of headphones.
