    Not really no. They are so cheaply made, they bleed so much noise and break so easily. I estimate they cost about 30 quid to make.
    You can buy a set of Dj headphones for 120 quid that are as good as these and sound as good, only you dont get the noise cancellation. Thats all these headphones are good for.
    They do go loud, but are not 'better' than bose, or any other headphone for that matter. I have six pairs of high end headphones, inc bose, and i would not say these are 'better', as they are all designed to do different things, so it would be wrong to compare them.
    Everyone wants these because celebrities and footballers wear them, thats all, and because they go 'loud', people get the illusion they are 'great' and have 'great sound quality'. They are very comfy to wear, but like i say, cheaply made. Mine are already going back for repair. However, they are a nice looking, comfy, loud set of cans. I paid £219 for mine.

  • yes, u have to also put in that these headphone come with two cables and cleaning cloth. One of those cables has a mic for your phone. So your not just paying for the headphones. The headphones are definitely worth it. stylish,great clarity and bass, and better then bose.

  • Here's what you get for your money: First off, the "Beats" are actually more than just a pair of headphones. Thanks to a built-in microphone in one of the two provided cables, they also double as a headset for musical mobile phones, such as certain Blackberry models and Apple's iPhone. Secondly, the Beats offer a certain amount of noise isolation and are clearly intended to compete with Bose's Quiet Comfort models, which are particularly popular with travelers and command an much higher price. My last point - the bass and highs are worth the enjoyment of the ear. Consequently, Monster provided Beats with everything it needs to have a fighting chance. So you get a travel case, a couple of adapters that let the "Beats" play on planes, and even a cleaning cloth. Is it worth it - Well I own a Night Club and a recording studio, I own both Bose and the Beats. Yes, if you have the spending power to buy 10 sets of use and throw away head phones (we all do this), buy a set! You will like them.

  • Yes, most definately.

    I think the people that say no are abit jealous & can't afford it, so resort to claiming its rubbish.

    The sound quality is BONKERS!! The looks is superb & just the overall everything.

    This actually livesup to the hype. A definate bose competitor.
