Beats by Dr. Dre Headphones from Monster
Beats by Dr. Dre can't beat the competition
Written by JN from phoenix
Aug 4, 2008
Unfortunately, the majority of audio consumers have been brain washed with the likes of mediocre products such as Bose, and headphones like these. First of all, no offense to Dr. Dre, but stay away from audio equipment endorsed by celebrities, What's next, Hannah Montana headphones? Let's start with the sound, nothing special here, especially for $350. Highs are not there and bass is far from controlled. Do yourself a favor and do some research in names like Sennheiser, AKG, & Grado. These brands will give you professional sound reproduction and at less than half the cost of the "Beats" phones. Bottom line, research and choose wisely. Your ears will thank you in the end. …More

Beats by Dr. Dre Headphones from Monster
Brutally overpriced
Written by BS from Savannah
Jul 26, 2008
Very colored, hyped at the high and low end, and only begin to wake up with Hip-hop and Rap only. (Go figure, a headset created in collaboration with a rap producer.) The average joe will listen to them and might be impressed because of the qualities I described in them and then they will see Monster and Dr. Dre on the box and will scrounge every last penny to get a pair and go on thinking they are the best headphones on the market. "I paid $350 for these and they are by Monster, they must be undeniably good." Along the same exact lines that Bose does with their QC2s and the incessant hype commercials on TV.
I now have a much better understanding of exactly who these are marketed to and it is too bad that they screwed up such a great concept by being so cheap. Ideally they would have been more reasonably priced, designed and sound significantly better. They want to awaken the average joe to how moving good sound quality can be and develop an appreciation for fidelity in audio and with such an easily recognizable name they could get that exposure. I think we all get it but it is like trying to convince a vegan to eat an overcooked $3 steak. OK, so not that bad, they do have their moments when they sound nice but there must be some sort of on-the-fly adjusting DSP built into them because the SQ seems to vary even in the same song.
The packaging is quite smart because it is fairly well designed and clever which adds to the illusion of a "quality" product. Once you hold them in your hands you can tell they are cheaply made. The design of the actual headphones is nice but holding them in your hands alone instantly tells you that they should cost ~$100 at most.
Back to the sound, they are very forward and exhibit distortion in the strangest frequencies even at low levels, yet exaggerate others. (It is almost as if the frequency response curve is a roller coaster.) There is a lot of bass and every now and then it can sound nice but it seems you feel the drivers through the ear cups more than you hear the actual output. To briefly sum up the overall SQ, they sound synthetic.
Now, they aren't horrible and they will absolutely smoke stock earbuds and headphones that come with portable players but it is the people coming from lower end sound gear that Monster is hoping these will appeal to. …More1467 of 1970 people found this useful

When I received this as a gift, being an avid music nut I fully appreciated the quality and comfort styling.But to be perfectly honest the cost is excessive for this product.I myself would not buy it and I am sure could find something just as good in quality for alot less.So if you can blow the money go ahead, but for those needing value as well as quality keep looking. …More

Beats by Dr. Dre Headphones from Monster
Absolutely incredible sounding
Written by MP from Liberal
Nov 14, 2009
Let me just throw this out really fast. There are a ton of audio snobs out there who love to trash these as over priced pieces of trash. It is my opinion that most of these people have never even tried Beats by Dre. Reviews that say "$50 trash headphones" should simply be ignored.
Now to the review - these headphones are incredible. I compared them to several $300 range headphones. In my opinion, they are the best. I listen to rap, electro, classic rock, etc. I particularly recommend these if you like rap / trance stuff. I find that most headphones provide a "flat" experience. These headphones offer incredible depth in sound. I've listened to tracks and have heard details I've previously missed.
The bass is incredible. (10/10) Awesome rumble. Clean & crisp. Does not take away or distort other aspects of the music.
Overall sound quality is excellent. (9/10) I listened to Tiesto's newest track with these cans and was absolutely blown away by the quality of the audio.
Fit quality & comfort is pretty good. (8/10) I wore these for a good hour already. Light pressure. Maybe a little warm around my ears. Other than that, no complaints although I've had one person tell me they felt as if the earphones were a bit tight.
Noise cancellation is good although not like Bose's QC3 headphones. I find these more pleasant than Bose's headphones simply because when you put Bose on you feel a significant difference in your inner ear. I think these headphones offer less cancellation which in turn reduces the noise cancellation irritation some people experience.
Cables, box, etc are very nice as well.
The few things I don't like:
1) Finger prints everywhere.
2) These things leak sound pretty bad. Do not take these to a library at all.
3) Battery cover could have better design.
4) I've heard quite a bit that these headphones crack around the screws. So far so good. Fingers crossed.
5) Overall build could be a little better.
In conclusion, I would highly recommend these cans. I've had 10 people try them on. Nothing but "Ahhhhh" "Ohhhhh" and "Wow!". …More7 of 8 people found this useful
