Reviews for Beats Studio Over-Ear Headphones

For this holiday season I decided to buy myself a new pair of headphones. I wanted ones around the $300 range that reproduce the music as good as if you are sitting in a one-audience concert, and looked stylish. My friend has had the Beats Studios since last Christmas so I asked him if I could borrow them for a few days. He said sure, And then quickly said "I'm not going to be missing them anyways." I was a little confused by his statement.

So for the next few days I sat listening to them, with just about every genre varying the past 50 years. They sounded great compared to the Apple Earbuds that I had always used. Then I found out about the Sennheiser Momentums($300) and the ATH-M50($150) through multiple forums. I decided to buy those two and see how they compared. Whichever one was the best, I would keep/buy.

So after 24 hours of "burn-in" on each headphone I decided to test them out with ALAC quality music. Instantly, I heard a considerable difference in the Momentums and M50 vs the Beats. I patiently listened to each for several more hours and found the Beats Sudio to be very muffled with too much bass. And when I mean muffled, I mean VERY muffled compared to the others. Even the M50 had much more clear vocals and instruments. You could even close your eyes and pinpoint where each individual instrument was being played!

Since I had $300 I decided to go with the Sennheiser Momentums with its English Brown, Sewn in leather and polished steel. I'm really glad I didn't buy the Beats Studio.
