Customer Reviews and Ratings

First of all I want to give props to Dr. Dre. These headphones are amazing. The bass I cannot even put into words to explain how amazing they are. They are extremely comfortable on the ears and head. The noise cancelation is great, the only way I can hear people a little bit is when there is no music playing. To all those people who say the sound leaks, they either have fake "Beats", or don't have them on their ears, when they are supposed to leak so you can hear them without having them right on there ears. But overall these headphones are exactly what I have been looking for. The price is very steep though.

This thing will have you going deaf in no time at maximum volume. The built-in amplifier is a nice touch. All music is clear even up to the notch before maximum volume. I would recommend these completely. The over the ear design is the best. Noise cancellation is better on some Bose Quiet Comfort 15 headphones than these, but it still helps and it is still noticeable.

I have had these and the bose sound comfort 15's and i much prefer the bose's. the beats crackle every now and again along with the screws fall out of the headphones and seem to be very flimsy. this is very dissapointing as they cost so much. good thing they came with a 2 year warranty and i can get a brand new pair.

bose head phones are 100% better. sounds quality is better and they dont fall apart.

I think everybody have own style in music.according to me i really exciting about the color of a beats sound. i feel im in the some empty room . I and the musical was inside there. Really superb noise isolation . But i really not sure about its durablity.

when i was 11 years old(2011) i had heard about dr. dre headphones by monster and i couldn't help but want it. i've had it for a year now and it still has the same AMAZING quality that it did when i bought it. it has great sound, great structure, and its good for tuning out annoying older or younger sisters. i will never regret buying this!

The headphones are really good, have really good sound, but after a little bit less than 1 year of using it, le headband broke, and I lost some screws. (Since I live in France and bought it in NYC I have to contact support, but there is no support for this product on apple, and I contacted Monster Cable, they didn't answer me). So, I don't recommend this, although it has a really good sound quality, the materials are cheap, and I am angry now.

I'll be honest, I've been wanting one of these headphones for a while since everyone seems to think they sound awesome. I went ahead to try a pair, and I was honestly disappointed.

Yes, they sound better than the stock iBud earphones. Yes there is a lot of bass. Yes they do look good. Are they worth a $300 price tag? Absolutely not.

You're essentially paying for the name "Dr. Dre." The headphones themselves are made of a glossy, cheap, squeaky plastic material. The earpads are a comfortable pleather material. They do fold-up, which is convenient for travel. You need batteries to use these headphones regardless of whether or not active-noise-cancelling is enabled. The active-noise-cancelling is pretty lame compared to that of Bose.

The bass is the main focus on these headphones. It's big and exaggerated, being the center of focus. The bass extends pretty deep, but it's overpowered by the boosted mid-bass. Treble extension is also fairly good, but like the deeper bass, it's largely overlooked by the bass and is therefore recessed. The highs sounded sibilant to me because of this compared to other warmer sounding headphones .The mids are recessed just like the highs since they are overlooked by the bass. Vocals are all right but they are affected by the bass bleed of the emphasized mid-bass.

If all you care about is the big mid-bass found in most American pop music, these are the right headphones for you.

For me, I was hoping for amazing sound at this $300 price tag and I was very disappointed. I think I'll buy out a V-Moda Crossfade M-80 or Shure SRH840 at a cheaper price and sound much cleaner.

Dislike this if you want, but I was just pitching-in my thoughts, having high expectations for these headphones at $300.
