DO NOT listen to bad reviews on this product. Ive owned these for 6 months now and i'm still blown away everytime I put them on.
I am a huge fan of Bose and other brands as well. These are by far the best ive heard. Thank you and have a good day.

Absolutely incredible sounding

Written by MP from Liberal

Let me just throw this out really fast. There are a ton of audio snobs out there who love to trash these as over priced pieces of trash. It is my opinion that most of these people have never even tried Beats by Dre. Reviews that say "$50 trash headphones" should simply be ignored.

Now to the review - these headphones are incredible. I compared them to several $300 range headphones. In my opinion, they are the best. I listen to rap, electro, classic rock, etc. I particularly recommend these if you like rap / trance stuff. I find that most headphones provide a "flat" experience. These headphones offer incredible depth in sound. I've listened to tracks and have heard details I've previously missed.

The bass is incredible. (10/10) Awesome rumble. Clean & crisp. Does not take away or distort other aspects of the music.

Overall sound quality is excellent. (9/10) I listened to Tiesto's newest track with these cans and was absolutely blown away by the quality of the audio.

Fit quality & comfort is pretty good. (8/10) I wore these for a good hour already. Light pressure. Maybe a little warm around my ears. Other than that, no complaints although I've had one person tell me they felt as if the earphones were a bit tight.

Noise cancellation is good although not like Bose's QC3 headphones. I find these more pleasant than Bose's headphones simply because when you put Bose on you feel a significant difference in your inner ear. I think these headphones offer less cancellation which in turn reduces the noise cancellation irritation some people experience.

Cables, box, etc are very nice as well.



The few things I don't like:

1) Finger prints everywhere.

2) These things leak sound pretty bad. Do not take these to a library at all.

3) Battery cover could have better design.

4) I've heard quite a bit that these headphones crack around the screws. So far so good. Fingers crossed.

5) Overall build could be a little better.


In conclusion, I would highly recommend these cans. I've had 10 people try them on. Nothing but "Ahhhhh" "Ohhhhh" and "Wow!".

Best Headphones I've ever had...

Written by NV from Hemer

I'm an amature DJ and love House-Music! This Headphones are really not only for Hip-Hop or R'n'B (even if it's incredible, too). The bass hits hard, the mids are awesome and so is the design. A must-have for everyone who loves music and needs convenient headphones!

Worth it for me!

Of course the price point is up there but, the quality and sound is bar none. These headphones have taken me to the places I want to go in the music, with everything else secondary! During this very difficult time in my life, music is a must to mend the broken pieces.

Best headphones ever!

I just got those headphones and pretty much like every one else I'm just amazed to see how good the sound quality is even though the price is pretty intense... not everyone can afford 300$ headphones.

THE BEST, SIMPLY AMAZING

Written by JA from Wilkesboro

Sep 24, 2009

I couldn't decide between the Bose, Shure and AKG, I went to Orlando from Charlotte NC, saw them at one of the innovation stores in airports. Asked every employee at each store. Every single one said THE beats where the best. I finally got them and was so amazed I just wanted to listen to my music on my trip.

Incredible Sound!!!

Written by NM from San Francisco

Sep 20, 2009

Wow. Seriously. Wow!
These things are amazing.
I've been producing music for years and feel like I haven't really heard it until now. I use powerful monitors in the studio...but lets face it...unless the room is completely silent...or the speakers are blasting loud...I rarely get the opportunity to hear ALL the depth my analog synths and drum machines put out. Then I put these fantastic headphones on, and its like I'm hearing every track for the very first time. Definitely worth the investment. They have monster cables for crying out loud!

Its like bringing the studio sound out into the world. Comfortable and stylish.
I LOVE THEM!!!

The best audio product I have ever owned...

Written by JP from Staten Island

Sep 12, 2009

Im going to start this review with the only negative thing I can think of about these headphones; they will make you go deaf. The sound is so amazing on them, it will make you want to listen to every song full blast. Your whole library will sound different once you've heard them on the beats. The sound is blazing, the bass is pounding. It literally sounds as if someone glued subwoofers and speakers to your ears. I highly recommend these headphones. The price is definitely steep compared to the competition, but like Apple products you are paying for superior design and quality.

The best

Written by JE from Jacksonville

These are the best headphones money can by. Worth every bit of the price. The accessories (case, cable cords, and airplane adapters) are a plus. I don't understand the mute button on the headphones, because they are noise reduction h/phones. But overall there are no better headphones on the market.

The Beats are Good

Written by RM from Las Vegas

Aug 28, 2009

Okay, if you love bass and love it when your headphones thump tremendously when you blast them to full volume then these are the headphones for you. Yes, they are incredibly pricey and I thought initially that it wasn't worth the money but after spending more time with them I began to be a lot more satisfied with my purchase. All genres of music sound remarkably clear and the quality of sound is highly professional. You really do hear everything in your songs. I think that Hip-hop listeners will prefer them especially because the loud, tight and punchy bass and powerful kicks are all there for you to hear the way producers wanted you to hear it. On a different note, these headphones really, really leak noise. They are like speakers and they get very loud and it becomes so easy for people around you to hear your music. They are very stylish in addition to being top-quality headphones for music lovers of any genre. Rock music and even orchestral music, I might add, sounded very great. You will want to listen to all your tracks again after getting these because they really change the whole music listening experience. From vocals to the slightest sound of a snare, drum, synth, live instrument, etc., the Beats deliver a pleasant sound for the ears to hear.

Most awesome headphones

Written by LL from Doral

Aug 16, 2009

I´ve been shopping for headphones for months, and until I went to an Apple Store I had the chance to compare my two favorite options. Beats and QC2´s.

Beats have more sound power, if you don´t like the preset Eq headphones, you can always adjust them in your iPod. I´d always prefer to turn the volume down, instead of wishing I could turn it up a notch.

Also, Beats were far more comfortable than the QC2´, even when falling asleep. The head band is bigger, more adjustable and the length of the cord is just the right size.

On the plane, they might be a bit big to carry, but missed if you don´t. The look is amazing, and the sound is way more amazing.The battery life is also outstanding.

They might not be reference headphones for professional studio musician´s and engineers, they are definitely a pair of headphones to listen and enjoy music.

All I Can Say is "Wow"

Written by KK from Agoura

Aug 14, 2009

I've had Bose QC2 for years and have loved them. But these are just plain better. Listen to Whole Lotta Love from the Led Zep Mothership Album downloaded from the iTunes store and you'll see what I mean. Drums sound fantastic. Lead guitar soars and the vocals are crisp and clean. One review says SkullCandy Hesh are just as good. The Hesh may be good for $45, but they are absolutely no match for Dr. Dre Beats. I never write reviews for anything, but these are just too good. Expensive, yes. But if you really like to listen to music and not just tune out the world, these are worth it.

Monster Beats by Dre

These are the most incredible headphones I've ever owned. The sound quality is beyond words. I imagine this is what it must sound like when inside a sound studio. Much love for Dr Dre for making every sound and track played a head banger. Incredible!

i am in love with these headphones! i use them for numerous reasons and they surpass my expectations everytime!!!

i am not only a DJ but a huge fan of music, and no other headphone has been able to keep up with me except the beats by Dre. they are the most comfortable, reliable, and best in their class i can be in a construction site and still completely cancel out all the noise around me and make my music! a must have!!
