Beats By Dr. Dre Mixr Headphones Reviews

Beats by Dr Dre welcomes a new set of ostentatious headphones to its gaudy stable -- the Beats mixr are a set of cans with DJ chops, built in collaboration with French roof-raiser David Guetta. designed specifically for DJs, combining ground-breaking sound quality with an ultra-compact design. The Beats mixr is able to handle the highest of sound levels with an ultra crisp sonic signature. Its unique design allows the wearer to conveniently swivel the ear cup 180 degrees in order to listen to the external environment and is incomparable at performing in loud, high noise environments whether it is in a club, a recording studio or on the street. Styled like the rest of the bass-heavy Beats line, one of the mixr's earcups swivels around on a hinge, so you can hear whether or not your audience has given up and gone home.

We quite like the design, which appears to come in both black and white options, with matte or gloss coatings. Often headphones with more complicated stylings or swivelling earcups are let down by plasticky parts, so we're hoping these feel sturdy when we give them the full review treatment.

Beats has previously teamed up with musical luminaries such as Sean 'Diddy' Combes, Lady Gaga and, er, Justin Bieber.

The Beats line-up is a mixed bag, with some of the headphones sounding rather muddy, but others blew us away with their thumping bass and impressive clarity. Fingers crossed the mixr falls into the latter camp.

As you'd expect from something with this much swanky red cabling, the beats mixr is a shade on the pricey side. Specifically, you'll be shelling out $169 for the privilege of adorning your bonce with these boisterous 'phones.

While the Beats mixr is designed for DJs, the lightweight yet durable headphone could also appeal to consumers that seek a high quality headphone experience.

The Beats mixr is available on hotsalemarts.com stores on today and will come with a suggested retail price of $169. The product is available in both black and white in either a gloss or matte finish. The sleek headband slides to ensure an exact fit that is perfect for both men and women.
