    Sleek, Powerful, and Extravagantly Impressive!

    These headphones far exceed expectations, and simply give you unmatched sound. Yes you'll have to spend a nice sum but, to acquire dynamic sound like Beats by Dr. Dre brings to you is all worth it!

    Not the best, but very good
    • Written by KY from Torrance

    I have both the Dr. Dre Studios and also the Bose QC15's, I have to say they both are very good headphones. The Bose QC15's run for about the same price as the Dr. Dre Studios. Therefore, I think it's best to do a little comparison test between these two very similar, high end headphones. First of all, I'd like to talk about how well the noise cancellation works on both of these headphones. The noise cancelling system on the Monster Beats by Dr. Dre is just simply a small faint hum in the distand backround. They don't block out much sound at all, but they still do at least, a little. The Bose noise cancelling QC15's on the other hand do a far better job at cancelling out unwanted noise, I've tried them on the plane, the noise of the engine is completely bocked out while using the Bose QC15's. Unfortanetly, the Bose noise cancelling headphones make you feel like you've entered the water when you put them on. It is somewhat uncomfortable at times. So there you have it, the Bose QC15's do beat the Monster Beats by Dr. Dre a lot in the noise cancelling section of the headphones.

    Next, the sound quality. The QC15's sound amazingly good. If you hadn't had the Beat by Dr. Dre's with you, you wouldn't think about there being another better set of headphones out there on the market. The Bose QC15's sound truly remarkable, everything is balanced almost perfectly, the mids, bass, everything. But when compared to the Beats Studio, they sound a little bit muffled up. There's always this feeling after you've listened to the Beats by Dr. Dre's that the Bose heaphones, aren't giving you al that they can. The Beats on the other hand, truly sound better than the Bose. They offer a better, more crisp, and clearer sound while listening to music through the headphones. It is quite noticeable that the Beats beat the Bose when you do a side-by-side comparison with these two headphones otherwise, you can't really tell the difference. So here we have it, the Beats by Dr. Dre beat the Bose headphones in the sound quality section. Two things about the Beats that can be improved are that the Beats leak quite a lot of sound. But, I'm not the type of people who turn my volume to abnoxious limits, so I've haven't head anyone complain about it yet. Another thing is that the Beats, are a little biased on the bass part compared to the Bose, Monster should balance it out a little better.

    Styling on the Bose are very basic, they look almost identical to the generation of Headphones before the QC15's, nothing so special. The Studios, are obviously by far, better looking than the Bose. Much more sleek, and they will turn heads. The Studios, in my opinion look like a designer peice of object.

    The way I see it, the Bose are still very good compared to the Beats, so I can't really say which one I would rather have, it really depends on what you really want from these headphones. But, just one more thing, the Studios DO live up to the way they are styled.

    Great Product
    • Written by JB from Los Angeles

    I've been reading a lot of reviews online lately saying they have either snapped or they have just started falling apart. I am a 6 month user of these headphones and I must say they headphones are phenomenal. I believe (and this from personal experience) that if you take good care of these (don't bend them, try to take something off, drop them, keep them in their case when your not using them, and keep a close eye on them) then you have nothing to worry about.

    The sound quality is great. The noise cancelation is not the best but when the music is on and playing you won't be able to hear a single interruption. The sound quality of the song is about ten times as good as your average earphones/headphones. I recommend getting these over any headphone around or under $400.

    For all those who like the Bose, I couldn't agree more. The Bose headphones are fantastic. The noise cancelation is probably one of the worlds best. If you travel a lot and are regularly in noisy area's i suggest you get the Bose Quit Comfort 15. But, if your one of those kind of people who just like to sit back relax (pretty much any where) and listen to music, then these Monster Beats are just what your looking for.

    For sound quality, I prefer these over the Bose. So to get things straight, Bose are better for sound cancelation when these headphones (Dr. Dre Beats Headphones) probably have the better sound quality.

    This is a warning to all users. Do not purchase the Solo's or the upcoming Solo HD's. Monster fails to release these headphones in an accurate build. In other words, they snap like a twig, and break really easily. Unless your ready for purchasing an expensive warranty and are ready for any shocking surprises, please do not purchase these.

    Last note. Do beware that these headphones are very fragile and they do get finger print stains quite easily. It does come with a quality cleaning cloth, but try to keep all fingers away from the top plastic part.

    • Written by CT from San Francisco

    Like everything produced and sold by Monster, these are overpriced and over marketed. You can get a comparable product for much less money or a much better product for the same price.

    I've owned the Dre's for about 6-7 months now. I was deciding on these or the bose bt im so glad i bought these. theyr really pricey but the look and sound of the headphones are great. Alot of people are getting REALLY into the high and low and frequencies .. basically, I listen to music alot everyday. The beats make listening to music so pleasurable. The sound is awesome and theyr comfortable.I hav a friend who listened to them once during a studio class then went to go buy them later that day.the left side came undone at the screws but otherwise theyr good. No serious damage bc they work fine but I love these headphones and hate wen i leave them home bc earbuds do injustice to music after listening thru the Dre's.

    • Written by MF from greensboro

    These headphones are great, great base, sound quality is crisp and clear. There are comfortable and really eliminates nose. I have to say the packaging is really professionally done, which presents the product as a high quality product, just like how Apple does with its packaging. But really $300 for them, thats a little too high for headphones, I guess its the name that you are paying for there. A $100 to $200 would seem more reasonable for them.

    Anyone who says that Beats and Bose are overly priced, Obviously have never used them, Nor can afford them..
    I picked up a pear of these headphones yesterday from Best Buy.. The sound is simply amazing, And noise canceling really works! so they are a little high.. But for the quality you get out of them, Worth it!

    Got these as a gift to myself when I wanted some cool headphones. These exceeded my expectations by a mile. When I got home and listened to my music collection, I was sitting there grinning like a little kid. Seriously, that's how awesome they sound. They look great and will turn lots of heads which is mainly the reason why I bought them.

    Absolute waste of money
    • Written by DR from Murrysville
    • Jan 10, 2010

    I have owned a large variety of headphones ranging from 100-250$, all of which i would prefer to these headphones. My biggest issue is the overpowering bass, and the absolute lacking mids and highs. What good is all that base when the actual music sounds grainy? You can find much better cans with just as good bass AS WELL AS great mids and highs anywhere from the 150$-200$. I would recommend looking up brands such as Audio Technica or Ultrasone if you want to buy a TRUE pair of studio quality headphones. Don't believe all the hype and advertising, do a little research before you purchase

    I want to like them, but I can't
    • Written by ED from Perrysburg
    • Jan 6, 2010

    I bought these after I didn't find them under the Christmas tree. I was very excited at first, but disappointed when I opened them. As others have said, they do feel very cheap.

    Sound quality was very good. I'd put them up there with the Bose QC15, but the 15's are a little better. Here are the down sides to them though:

    1) The sound canceling actually makes noise. If you're listening to music, you can't tell because there is always "noise," but if you're watching a movie, you can actually hear a "wooohm....woohm...wooohm" sound. I found it very irritating. Also, while the sound canceling does work, it's not very good. Before I bought these I had a cheap pair of Sony's that worked just as well.

    2) Leakage; there is no way you can use these in a library or in a crowded area without disturbing everyone around you because whatever you're listening to will be heard by everyone within 20 feet of you. These are the loudest headphones I've ever used, unfortunately, I mean on the outside. Totally defeats the point of headphones IMO.

    I have a pair of the Beats Tour ear buds and I love them, but the Studio cans don't impress me at all. I love the style of them and I tried very hard to convince myself that the problems weren't that big of a deal...because they looked sooooooo nice. However, today I returned them and bought a pair of Bose QC 15's. I might not look cool, but I'm much happier with what I got for my money. I gave them 2 stars and that's mainly based on their look. If these and the QC 15's looked the exact same, no one would even be mentioning the Beats.

    Broken twice. The plastic that goes from can to can is a design flaw. Breaks right where the end of can meets cushin for top of head.

    Replaced via warranty, but i have to worry about cracking it every time i put them on.

    Crapgadget. Go with Bose if you wear them hard.
