I am trying to decide between getting an ipad air 2 and beats studio 2 wireless headphones. The ipad is expected to retail at $300 base on black friday. The beats are $279. Please don't complain about how beats are horrible quality unless you actually own a pair that was bought after apple took over. My thoughts: I have an iphone 6, so the ipad is not much more powerful, just bigger. It has no cellular capability either. I have heard fairly mixed reviews about the beats, but I am leaning towards them. Also, I forgot to say that I already have an ipad, but it is getting to the end of it's lifecycle.
What do you think? (I am contributing about $150 regardless of purchase.)

PLEASE DO NOT GET THE BEATS. they may look cool or give you street credit but the sound quality is horrendous. [COMPARED TO COMPETITORS] If you're looking for just straight up the best sound quality in headphones for the money LOOK NO FURTHER BECAUSE HERE THEY ARE LINK TO HEADPHONES If you want something more portable please also consider OTHER HEADPHONESThis, but I think he's looking for more stylish headphones than gaming. Correct me if I'm wrong. I recommend - uk.akg.com/akg-product-detail_uk/akg-n60-nc.html - those.

Don't get Beats headphones. I had some back in 2011 and they were horrible. You could not hear anything but low notes/bass, and the audio quality was generally bad. I got them for my birthday, and two months later, alas, they're broken. I've gone through a pair of Bose QC-15s since, and afterwards, got a Philips Fidelio x2. The Philips Fidelio x2s are pretty damn amazing. If you want quality, get those. Do NOT go with Beats!

Definitely the iPad. Beats aren't worth $200+.

That's 4 years ago, they are under new ownership, and there are newer, much higher quality items out there. Besides, the three year warranty is only $20. As well as that, I've heard that these news models are actually fairly good in terms of quality.

You want a $200 pair of headphones instead of a tablet, which comes with earbuds, that can do so much more?

However, I already have an iphone 6 and an ipad 2 that still works ok-ish. If I get an ipad, what's the point of the phone? Slightly bigger screen? Also, beats have probably the best looks out there, and I'm not paying 200+ dollars for anything.
