Reviews for Beats Executive Over-Ear Headphones

I would recommend everyone that is considering it - try it first. If you can tolerate the strong constant white noise - the sound is fine.

I hesitated picking these up after reading reviews about the hissing...it's really not all that bad. The hissing, which I would call more faint white noise is only evident at very low volume levels (I used my iPhone 4s and could hear it at 50%). I don't know anyone listening to their headphones at less than 50% strength. I would definitely recommend these for someone who listens to Hip/Hop or pop type music. The sound is very nice. The headphones are very comfortable on my large head. The noise cancellation is enough for me, although if you want no outside sound, which I don't even know if it's possible, these won't be what you're looking for. I would definitely say though worth the $300 price tag.

These beats are great I got these yesterday and I listed to music,movies,YouTube videos and the are great at all of these and you get 2 cables and a great case battery's and 2 adapters I think it's worth the money for what u get the sound is great the bass is just right they also look really good the silver is so cool they look better then the studios. There is a very small hiss in but you can't really hear it. Get these headphone if u want beats by dre.

If you are a poor student like me, you have probably spent months considering different headphones and find it a big struggle to finally invest in one. You read up online reviews and ask your 'audiophile' friends for opinions. Your 'audiophile' friends are probably anti-beats and said they were horrible. Well, maybe the older beats headphones do sound bad, BUT..

The beats executive is a truly awesome product. I was given many suggestions by audiophiles and reviewers, but wasn't satisfied with the mixed reviews. I decided to go into shops to test the different headphones out, and lo and behold, the beats executive came out as an excellent decision. It doesn't have as much bass, which I liked, and it makes almost every genre of music sound great (I spent half an hour trying it out). The mids and highs are crystal clear. Music do not sound compressed at all. The metallic build is durable and the style is non-mainstream, for people who like to tone it down a little. Overall, sound and music is a personal preference, and I highly urge people to go try it out for themselves. Nonetheless, I am absolutely satisfied with this product, and I'm sure I won't be looking into any other products anytime soon.

Sound quality of these on blast is amazing. The bass isn't muddy nor is it too much bass like on the studios. They are Awsome and in every way. I compared to studios and the sound is a bit more clear with the mids and highs.

If you're looking for a pair of noise-canceling headphones that look great with a suit on business class, as well as when you're going on a casual vacation, these are for you. I travel a lot for work and I've gone through a few different pairs. Bose sounds great but looks dull. Beats Studios also sound good but are too hip hop for me. The Executives on the other hand are the best of both worlds. They look and sound great.

The only watch-out is the white noise you can hear on low volumes. If you're a sound snob you might notice it – BUT, it's only on very low volumes which is not how anyone listens to music anyway. Bring the volume to normal and you're in a world of pure sound. Crank it up and you're in a massive concert hall listening to whatever you listen to.

One detail I love: you can unplug the wires and still enjoy noise canceling making your next nap on the plane wire free. Nice touch, Dr. Dre.

Solid build quality and great sound! I have been enjoying these for a few weeks and appreciate the attention to detail.

I originally purchased the studios, but did not like how much they leaked music. So I ended up exchanging them and purchasing the executives. Although they still leak, it is not nearly as bad as the studios. On the other hand these are great headphones & the noise cancellation is awesome. The bass does not kick as hard as the studios, but i kind of like that. They feel great on my head & fit around my ears nicely. Honestly I like my Bose in ear headphones a little bit better, but these are a close second.
