No. They are just extremely overpriced headphones. They would be ok if they cost around $50.

Theyre a fashion statement and loud/bassy headphones. I got a pair of Studio Beats as a gift and I would have been extremely disappointed paying $299.99 for them. They sound and feel like $100 headphones at best

They are marketed to a select target group and that group is dipshits who mindlessly by crap because they think it will get them laid when in reality that money would be better spent on hookers and fried chicken.

If you want a walking concert on your head and listen to techno and hiphop they are the way to go. If either music is not your style go with the Bose Quietcomfort....

They are pretty decent, I bought my gf the studio headphones for Christmas. I think the $189 was worth it, good sound quality, has a nice look to them, comes with a hard case.

Best headphones I've ever owned. I have over-the-ear for home and in-ear for traveling, gym etc. The over-the-ear are extraordinary - I hear songs that I've listened to all my life differently.

Only thing is, their system, a vented diaphragm design that incorporates a large air chamber that allows the sound to go out, means the person next to you can hear the music. Which is why I own a pair of in-ear as well. Because I want to rock out to Barry Manilow while on the 5 train to the Bronx, without loosing my street cred.

I don't know about the rest of you but I sweat like a mother fucker at the gym. I bought a pair of the Beats by Dre and they were great until the sweat kicked in. At that point they became uncomfortable and trapped too much heat on my head. I returned them and bought a pair of Philips Sports Earhooks for a fraction of the price. Much more comfortable and decent enough quality sound for my needs.

About a year ago I was shopping around for headphones and was prepared to spend $500 on a good pair. I tried various BEATS phones and they all sucked compared to the Bose headphones which I finally bought at about $300. Beats sound good, but they are overpriced and as someone else said, more of a fashion statement. If you want quality, go for Bose.

If you thought the Beats headphones were a rip off, wait till you see the Beats Pill, a portable Bluetooth speaker.

Yours for only $199.99

Beats headphones are regular headphones that Dr. Dre has ordained with the power of nothing.

If you buy a pair, you're going to be disappointed. They're just headphones. They don't give blowjobs or anything.

Even far from being wireless the best ever small portable headphones I've ever used were Sennheiser cx 500 - with their in ear bulit, they create a major full sound experience such as with huge wrap around ones.



Otherwise a huge KOSS fan, but these take the crop when it comes to small and portable ones. I recommend also checking http://en-us.sennheiser.com/earbuds-in-ear-headphones although I have no personal experience with these "sport" models.

You know why Beats are popular and expensive for being headphones that are not of great quality. No need to be disingenuous.

I've been using these. If you are serious about lifting and doing cardio, particularly on the treadmill,... its nice to not have the wires moving around. I like em!

my prob is my fucking ears sweat too! so ear buds get feelign weird fast.

i've been using koss portapro for work outs, the lack of foam and fabric on the top part is much more comfortable to me and the foam side pads help deal with the sweat. and the cable is only 4' long, making it much easier to deal with.

+ they're only $30 and sound real good and fold up nicely





for everywhere else i use sony mdr v6, from what i've gathered, the recording industry standard and only $80-ish

I think that its really good. I am kind of a snob about this stuff - I was pretty surprised. I really like the freedom of not having the headphone wire moving around, having to adjust them in my ear and doing stuff like jogging on the treadmill or doing sprints and accidentally catching my hand on the headphone wire and sending my phone flying off into space as I was doing at least 2 times a week it seemed.

The thing I hate is that I can always hear stupid motherfuckers shitty-ass music coming through them. I thought headphones were supposed to contain the sound. One thing about hip hop music and people who listen to it--- they want YOU to hear it also. I can hear bass thumping from cars 100 yards away from my house, while I'm chilling in my basement watching a movie with my sound system turned up. How do you get away from these tards and their garbage music?

I was laying in bed with my gf just a couple days ago and you could hear on the street, some idiot with the bass/music really bumping at about 7:30 am in a very quiet neighborhood. He kept honking his horn to get someone to come out of their house. I looked at her and said "what is different today is that 20 years ago, that would be a 16 yr old kid who just didn't know better and hadn't learned. Today, its a 35 year old dude that just doesn't give a fuck about anyone but himself and he wants you to know it.'

i crank my shit up everywhere but home. i respect my neighbors and they respect me.

as for strangers, i could not give 1 single fuck, they will be annoying me in some way anyway with their thoughtlessness- be it now wiping sweat off the equipment, chitty chatting over the bench and not using it, driving, walking, talking too loud, sneezing at 85db in a restaurant, coughing without covering their face, etc.

Yes the beats produce extreme lows, but the mids and highs are so shitty compared to the Sony's.

Google: high end recording studios, they mostly use Sennheiser, AKG and Sony. I never see beats in quality recording studios.

Its all marketing: kids will buy anything a celeb puts their name on. HP is making a mint from this hip hop generation.
Bottom line is... this new mp3 generation is quit stupid.
We went from high quality CD 48khz sampling rates, down to compressed 33.3khz shit to be able to store hundreds of mp3's on a disc or device.
That sacrificed sound quality by squeezing out the clear highs and lush mids, also producing muddy lows.

Decline of quality.

If you really wanted powerful yet high quality sound, stick with high end Sony headphones.

I tried every shitty Dr Beats BS side by side with the MDR 7506's and that Dr Dre shit doesn't even come close to the sound quality of the Sony's.
Yes the beats produce extreme lows, but the mids and highs are so shitty compared to the Sony's.

Google: high end recording studios, they mostly use Sennheiser, AKG and Sony. I never see beats in quality recording studios.

Its all marketing: kids will buy anything a celeb puts their name on. HP is making a mint from this hip hop generation.
Bottom line is... this new mp3 generation is quit stupid.
We went from high quality CD 48khz sampling rates, down to compressed 33.3khz shit to be able to store hundreds of mp3's on a disc or device.
That sacrificed sound quality by squeezing out the clear highs and lush mids, also producing muddy lows.

Decline of quality.
your buying the name sure he would say that. when he's putting beats 2 gether bet it's not those he's using

Who the fuck can tell the differance with those tiny in-ear buds? Besides, that shit has gotta fuck up your inner ear or somethin'....I always go 'over the ear' and find the high priced headphones too 'bass heavy'. Fine for thick-skulled mofos who wanna jam out to rap and shit (the same idiots who when they drive by you can FEEL the bass - BVVVVT! BVVVVVT! - nearly breaking the glass in their Hyundais) but for anyone halfway normal that's just too much bass. Besides, that much bass will give you headaches and loosen your teeth. LOL

Also, most people are not audiophiles so I doubt they could even tell the differance between $300 headphones and $50 headphones.

I will bet you money Dre is using Sennhieser or Sony, bro. NOTHING ELSE.

He is smart man, a business man.
In the studio he is using what is required for crucial mix down.
A real studio engineer would never allow Dre to use that garbage his name is on.
No way we would we risk sound quality to be cool sporting trendy headphones. LOL

We compare drivers side by side extensively, and beats do not have the quality highs and mids.
Not even the $400 pair, which sound the worst. Too much lows/bass that over powers the sweet highs and lush mids that can not be adjusted even with EQing.
It is the voicing of the coil and driver, Beats simply suck for recording in the studio.

Seriously, with the SONY MDR 7506 headphones you can actually hear the bass drum pedal kicker strike the plastic drum head clearly separated in the mix.
It is a night and day difference, go to guitar center and compare them side by side with a WAV file recording. You will thank me later.

I use those with my ENG setup and when shooting DSLR video with wireless mics.
