Customer Reviews and Ratings

PC Richards, a supposedly reliable store where you can purchase "official" products, no? I must speculate. Keeping this to a minimum, after purchasing the I-Beats for $100 and, after 2 weeks having experiencing a left-ear crackling & ultimate failure, brought back & - w/ $70 MORE - purchased the "Tours." The claimed "top of the line" in-ear headphones for this company and, AGAIN - ONE WEEK this time - Right ear failure ... Sound & volume in & out!! REALLY??! What's the chances?? Bringing these back NOW!!
Poor quality production & overall failure!! Dre should stick to putting out another "Chronic," & leave the headphone/ear-bud business to the professionals. What's it called?? The Great Hype?? Yea... Thats it! Again, don't waste time and/or money.

Didn't even last a year. Had to send them off 2 times to get a new pair. The first time was cause the connection tore away from wire, the 2nd time brand new from the box, the volume and talk button didn't work. Now the left bud gets no sound, the talk feature doesn't work, and depending on how its connect the volume goes up and down. Will not purchase these again.

I was excited to get these headphones, they should've been a huge upgrade over the Apple in-ear headphones. Upon first use they delivered very good bass and sound clarity, I was pleased. On day two the left ear bud broke producing limited sound with plenty of crackling static. For the amount these cost and the many other reviews reporting similar problems - stay away. There is obviously something wrong with the quality control of this product and should be addressed immediately by Monster. If I could, I would give these zero stars for the rating.

Don’t believe the wonders they talk about this headphones, they are pretty uncomfortable to wear. I can’t get along with any earplug. The sound isn’t that good for the prize. & my headphones stop working within the first week, common at least a year, but a week?.

I'm not the kind of person that wants big bulky over-ear headphones so I asked my parents to get these for my birthday. They were so good when I got them, but less than a few months later, I quickly realized they were not worth the money at all and I feel bad for making my parents buying these for me. The headphones do a nice job with sound, but the headphones randomly cut out temporarily for a short time, making a sparatic crackly noise and it gets very annoying. The sound isn't worth a $150, and the construction of the headphones not even close to that. I am considering selling these on Ebay and getting the apple in ear headphones because it's the same thing but only $80!! I'm sure apple did a fine job making them and they also have the control talk with mic and volume control (which sold me on the beats)
Overall, the beats tour aren't bad, sound is above average, comfort is great, construction is ok, but apple can make the same thing. Spend your money elsewhere. You'll get a better deal.

When I first bought my Tours I was impressed with the sound and was happy that I bought them, however only 6 HOURS after buying them the plastic cover of the back of the mic control fell off and the speaker on the opposite side produces scratchy noises. I treated the ear phones with respect and and did not do anything to make them fall apart. I would like to return them but i bought them in the US and I live in Canada so I would have to drive across the boarder ( which is about a 1 and a half hour wait because it is the end of spring break) an then pick them up, another two hours and then return home ( about two more hours) I am not sure if i should pick another pear or buy a different kind...

Impressive right? The poorly designed low profile plug is the weak point. I handled these with kid gloves, only to discover the night before a flight that the insulation had cracked and the words were exposed and beginning to fray. The left earphone was the first to go. This is the first pair that I have had in over 600,000 miles of travel to fail like this. Don't waste your money.

Unfortunately I didn't read the reviews before buying these. I bought my first set because of the tangle free cords which was great and figured if they were expensive they would be good. They worked well for a couple of months then the left ear died.
Figured it was a one off thing. I bought another pair but different model and the exact same thing happened. Not happy. Time to cut my losses and buy something else.

I love the sound on these headphones but I am now on my 3rd pair since I purchased them 6 months ago. I use them daily at work as well as at the poker table and the sounds is great and clear like you would expect but my first two sets either 1 or both speakers died from just normal use and then would rattle or just stop playing all together.

Fingers crossed on this new set but they are only 3 weeks old right now!

the good: these sound pretty great. I heard details in songs I wasn't used to hearing with earbuds before. the bad: they've started falling appart after a few months of use which is not to be expected for $150 headphones. The left side cut out for a while but has magically come back. The cable has started falling appart near the left earpiece and and by the mic/volume control. Also, the earbuds come off pretty easily which means they are prone to getting lost (or stuck way up an ear cannal in my case...).
