They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands.For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that $80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality (质量) and comfort as Beats. So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands?Experts say its because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say “I belong” or “I can afford it.”Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that some designer clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Some teenagers choose to wear popular brands because these brands make them feel good about themselves. Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products. “Id rather spend the extra money to get something I know Ill be satisfied with,” she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying “As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want.” But not all teenagers agree. “Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable,” says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16. “Its fake (假的) happiness.”People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands arent any better. “Its wasteful to buy things just because they are popular,” says Edmund Williams, 15. “Youll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra money to spend, it would be better to give it to people in need.” 28. The example of Jims report wants to tell us _.A. popular brands make people comfortableB. Koss Pro headphones are better than BeatsC. the hottest brands are of the highest qualityD. less-known brands may offer the same quality as name brands29.
