    Nice Headphones for the Bass-Heavy Listener

    • Written by from Lawrenceville

    These are some pretty decent headphones! The style, packaging, and casing is extremely well-made. They are also AMAZING with the bass. However, the highs, "mids", and lows aren't as good,but still pretty nice. Also, they are also way too overpriced. However, if you listen to bass-heavy genres such as rap, hip-hop, and possibly rock, then these are very nice. If you have $300 to blow, certainly get these. If you would have to work extremely hard to get these, probably don't. You could get cheaper headphones for half the price. (Also, look into Fakes if you want)

    Beats

    • Written by from Rockville

    These beats sound great, but they are also very fragile. One of my cords blew out because i probably overused it. If you want some really long lasting headphones, then i do not recommend these headphones.

    these are worth maybe 80$ on a good day they feel very cheap. the sound is nothing special. dont buy these because they look cool because there are better headphones and the sound is what your going for.

    Brilliant Sound, fair price for such quality!

    I have never heard such great sounding headphones. They have aesthetic appeal and they are functionally nearly perfect! Love these! Highly recommended!!!

    Misleading name, weak build, fail sound

    • Written by from perth

    First of all, I have headphones that cost as much as the Studios. I have heard many others that cost nearly as much and less, and I am a member of one of the biggest audio forums on the internet. I have experience in making electronics music so I know what a studio is meant to sound like. The Beats Studio does not sound like a studio at all ! Studios needs a flat FR (frequency response ) or in other words, neutral and realistic, and the Beats studio's sound is in no way neutral, the headphone is bass heavy, which means for genres like Jazz, it sounds horrible. I personally listen to EDM and Hip-Hop and find the bass of these headphones to be unsatisfying. Although the mid bass of this headphone is emphasized, the sub bass is extremely rolled off (quiet). The soundstage of these headphones are also disappointing. The ANC (active noise cancelling) on this headphone is also bad. It barely has an effect, not to mention with an ANC circuit, any kind of high quality external amp is completely useless, therefore you are stuck with the low quality internal amp. The idea of ANC on a studio headphone is also illogical, since most of studios are not noisy at all. The build quality of these headphones are also horrible, even though monster cable does offer warranty with these headphone, it will be very difficult to replace them because of the horrible customer service. In conclusion, these are horrible headphones that only sell because of Dr Dre's endorsements and they don't sound like a studio headphone at all. DON'T BUY THESE.

    Worth It

    • Written by from Spanish Fort

    These may be extremely overpriced, but it's WORTH IT! I mean, of course you can expect them to be overpriced... they're designed by a famous artist; however, that's how you know that the sound quality is fascinating. The only ones that can compete are Bose, and that's just because of their noise cancellation quality. But if you're aiming for fantastic sound quality and deep bass, Beats by Dre Studio is the definite way to go.

    Great Sound, Bad Build

    • Written by from Moreland Hills

    These headphones had great bass but other than that you could not listen to them with full volume because the sound became sketchy and unbearable. They had a horrible fit and when ever I moved all I heard was creaky plastic. The noise canceling was terrible too. Here I come Skullcandy Mix Masters....

    total junk

    • Written by from wildomar

    the construction is very flimsy and seems like it will break very easily, sound quality is ok, very bass heavy but depending on what you listen to it might be a positive. what make me say this is total junk is i received them as a xmas present ant two days later they are cutting out like a pair bought at walgreens. i read the other reviews on the internet saying you could get more for the money because these were overpriced monster products but because they were a gift i gave them a try. i will be returning them tomorrow. total junk.

    Battery needed to work with this headphone

    • Written by from Irvine

    I truly believe this headphone is overpriced. The sound quality is average. Also be aware that this headphone needs batteries in order to listen to music. No passive passage. Wow, terrible design.

    I love them

    • Written by from orlando

    Sound Great
    Amazing comfort
    Cancels out engine noise on AIRPLANES (extrtremely useful)
    Nice Case
    Good accessories

    Don't spend the money if you don't have it. If you study music, or play music, you will love these headphones.

    Waste! Do NOT BUY

    • Written by from elmsford

    I bought this and the bass is just bad. i dont know if i got a defect, but it makes this horrible sound when it hits a certain note. The lesson I learned is look up these company's background. Its simply a bad company and the research you find will support it.
    It also hurts after a few hours to wear. They do look nice, but it makes the sound experience pretty bad. The company needs to up its quality and stop ripping off the consumers.

    Beats By Dre Heaphones are less then perfect or good.

    • Written by from Elizabethtown

    Here it is plain and simple... If you are buying simply on looks go for the beats. But if you actually want a good product for you money go with Bose or Sennheisers. I have a pair of Studios, and a pair of Bose quiet comfort 15. I only use the Beats if I'm going to a party or on a date. But when your at home and nobody's there to look at them the Bose are absolutely amazing! Plus, the Bose look good too (just not as good as the Beats). When I was first looking at the Beats they sounded great in the store but when I brought them home the sound was distorted in slower sounds (Like Drop the World by Lil Wayne & Eminem). The Bose delivers great sound every time no matter what the music is. Overall, it's pretty simple dont buy these or you WILL be disappointed.

    Hate them

    • Written by from Carbondale

    I got this headphones as a birthday present, I was super excited because I listen to mostly hip-hop and absolutely love bass. Well I got them and they have almost no bass!! And when I play a song with booming bass it just distorts. I am extremely disappointed and trying frantically to find better headphones for a much cheaper price. If you like bass these are not the headphones for you.

    Pricey for average

    • Written by from Cupertino

    Aesthetics: Great. They have done a great job with the branding and external look/feel of the product. However, too bulky if you plan on traveling with them. Travel case is about 8inX6inX4in

    Internal: Cheap plastics. You can see that in the battery holders. Very cheap looking like a $5 toy .

    Functionality: Mix. 4.5 stars for sound. Great bass and sound, but you can get this sound quality from other less expensive headphones if you are an average user (Bose about same price, Sennheiser, Sony). Zero stars for noise canceling. That function is inexistent, but it is advertised. With other noise canceling headphones, you hear a vacuum suction when you turn on the functionality and noises within 2 feet can be silenced. With Beats, I can still hear whispers 4-5 cubes away. Lastly, the headphones will NOT work without batteries. Other brands still work without batteries whether they are noise canceling or not.

    Great sound. horrible durability

    • Written by from Long Valley

    I got the Dr. Dre monster beats for my birthday.. great till the next day, when i put them on I turned on a song with alot of bass in it and....everytime the bass was hit a wave of static went right into my ear. So that day I went back to the apple store to trade them in I was so happy. It has been 2 months since then and now the volume increase button on the cord will not work. This has made me very angry. First these headphones are highly over priced!!!!!. Second they should be very durable for this price!!. The detachable earpeices are very uncomfortable. I mean common Dre honestly you can do better than that for a lower price.!!!!
