Product Description
You seek comfortable headphones with great sound over a wide dynamic range. So did Dr. Dre. From his demanding quest for excellence and Monster Cable's audio engineering comes a new headphone - Beats. In addition to being a multiple Grammy award winning producer, Dr. Dre is an artist who helped create groundbreaking records with the group N.W.A. and landmark multi-platinum solo albums The Chronic and Dr. Dre 2001. In collaboration with Monster Cable, Dr. Dre sought a new form of headphone. Most headphones can't handle the bass, the detail, and the dynamics. Monster's Beats By Dre delivers clear vocals, detailed highs, and super low, deep bass. In order to capture the quietness of an isolated recording studio listening experience, Beats headphones have powered ambient noise-isolation, so you can hear all the details and nuances of your favorite music. Beats by Dr. Dre are designed to provide maximum performance when used with all of today's portable music devices - and they're ready for use with the new Apple iPhone 3G. In fact, for consumers who have an iPhone, Blackberry, and other music-enabled phones, Beats By Dr. Dre comes with additional Monster iSoniTalk headphone cable with integrated high-grade microphone and answer button. It's sonic perfection by demand and high-grade engineering. It's what your ears and mind have hungered for. The Beats are here and waiting for you to appreciate them. Includes Monster iSoniTalk headphone cable with integrated microphone and answer button for use with iPhone, Blackberry and other music-enabled cell phones Push to Listen mute button lets you talk on your cell phone without removing the headphones Folding design for go-anywhere portability Includes 2 AAA batteries, antimicrobial cleaning cloth, iSoniTalk cell phone cable, 1/8-to-1/4 headphone adapter and protective case

5 out of 5 stars Very nice headphones, I love them.   September 3, 2010
MusicLK
Before I start my review, I'd like to say that I am not an audiophile, but I do love music. So this review is towards the regular listeners who love music.
I received these two days ago, and I was really anticipating its arrival, and I am very satisfied with these product.
Since many like concise reviews, I will list the Pros and Cons.

Pros
-Very good packaging (If anybody cares about that)
-Great audio quality, well balanced and you can really feel the "dimensions" of music
-Sexy design
-Extremely Comfortable
-Good case, not the best, but will still get do the work of protecting the headphones
-Good extras (mute button, 1/8 to 1/4 jack, two cables (one with control talk, the mic quality is impressive), and thanks for the AAA batteries, Monster)

Cons
-Noise canceling isn't as effective as I hoped it would be (i listen to my ipod nano 5g on about 25~45%)
-The hinges do not seem too strong (and one side of the headphones do not line up perfectly)
-Very expensive
-Can't function without batteries
-Sound leaks very badly (50% on ipod nano 5g)
-Noise, or buzzing noises can be heard at low volumes

The overall build quality is pretty good, but I personally believe that if treated roughly it may break, especially around the hinges.
The build quality on the hinges could be improved.

I would recommend the studios to the people who have the money. If the cost is too much, I wouldn't buy these, as there are many lower-cost headphones with decent sound.



3 out of 5 stars solid headphones, pricey.   August 31, 2010

i got these as a gift about a year ago and they've been great. i can't really complain about the sound quality, they're really good. although you can get a pair of some grados for a lot cheaper, the dres have the wow factor and the 'style'. as for mobility, they're great, they fold up and come with a convenient little case. they're easy to use, but eventually you get tired of wearing them, but they're comfortable enough. the item quality was good, until about 5 months in when the piece of plastic above the earcup on the outside fastened on by the screws straight snapped off, almost as if the screws wore through the plastic and created bigger holes than the screws were meant to be in. they were obviously manufactured for about 60 dollars (of raw component price) and then marked up with a logo of a known musician.

these headphones are like buying the designer jeans of the audio world. so if you've got the money, you wont be disappointed. but if you're on a budget do yourself a favor and get a pair of high end seinheisser phones or a pair of grados. if you are not familiar with grado, the grado SR125 is a good model to look at.

I do not own these. Yet. I am 16 years old and have loved music all my life. It runs through my veins and I live for every sweeping crescendo and swooping diminuendo. My dad has Bose Quietcomforts and I hate them. They droop down off your face and my Sony on-ear headphones (that are meant to just get the job done) sound a lot better. The Beats blow both out of the water. I try them on and listen to the Monster Beats tracks with Bass Boost on at the Apple Store every time I go to the mall. I have to honestly say that I am overjoyed to hear such quality sound entering my brain each and every time. Yes, I do aspire to have a trunk full of subs in my car, so obviously these bass-boosted cans are very much my forté, but even the odd things like 50 Cent's monotone rapping voice just sound plain better through the Beats. I look forward to receiving them on my birthday (hopefully) this year, and they should make a good companion to the 4g iPod Touch, even if the sound quality of an iTunes device isn't the greatest. That is all.


4 out of 5 stars LOVE THESE HEADPHONES!!   August 23, 2010

First off I just want to say that I have been debating these headphones for a good 3 months now, I've done a ton of research on them and then I finally decided to spend the cash and get a pair. Let me tell you, I don't regret my purchase at all! These headphones are fantastic! The sound is indescribable and the quality from what I can tell is pretty darn good! I also listening to basically every genre of music out there and everything sounds great from Gustav Mahler Symphonies to Miles Davis to Eminem to Slipknot....it all sounds great.

Being that said, I do have a few cons that may aid you in your purchase. 1) AAA Batteries, really monster you couldn't come up with rechargeable solution? 2) The black controltalk cable (microphone cable) seems to be a little touchy with my iPhone 4, you can't really touch it or move it or it will stop working 3) You all probably know this by now, but the sound leaking is pretty apparent...so if you don't want people around to know what you're listening too, then these might not be for you.

Overall, I love the headphones, they sound great, good quality and very stylish. I'd definitely recommend purchasing a pair!
