Monster Beats by Dre Headphones Review

These are a SEXY pair of headphones. Beats by Dre with Monster, an extremely high performance speaker cable company, are great for bass lovers like myself. They were made audio fans who listen to a lot of pop, hip hop, rap, rock.. basically anything with solid bass and sharp high notes.

The bass component of the Beats by Dre headphones blows its competitors out of the water, specifically Bose. The lows are very nicely extended and distortion can happen at times, but that is perfect for the type of music these headphones were meant for. The highs are also FANTASTIC, though the mids sound a little flat by comparison. As far as detail and clarity of instruments, the Beats by Dre headphones have very crisp detail.

The cable is 4 feet long, which is good for me, but I'm usually sitting while wearing them (at my laptop!), so if you're walking - excuse the pun - your mileage may vary, depending on how tall you are

Another nice function is built into the right ear: if you press the large button in, it will mute the headphones so you can listen to the world around you. This happens for the duration of the time you hold the button in, and stops the moment you release it.

One thing I don't like about the Beats by Dre is that there is a very soft white noise from the noise cancellation, but when you're listening to music it's totally negligible. My only true beef with these headphones is that you have to buy AAA batteries for them, so you should probably buy rechargeable batteries. Fortunately, the battery life is good on these and it doesn't drain the juice so fast it becomes an annoyance.

Besides the AWESOME bass and great overall sound quality, the nice thing about the Beats by Dre is their aesthetic value. They are some slick looking headphones. Available in different colors, and the overall design is just sexy as anything. Not to mention, the Beats by Dre are extremely comfortable, with very nice headband cushioning and comfy, big ear cushions.

HIGHLY recommended to contemporary, electronically-produced music lovers. Hip hop, pop, rnb, dnb, even rock, metal, and TRANCE! Oh man, the Beats by Dre make my trance songs sound awesome with that bass, not even kidding. Very much worth the money.
