Everyone seems to be wearing these headphones…
Didier Drogba, Ashley Cole, Emmanuel Adebayor, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Thierry Henry….every time I watch a sky sports preview for a premiership game the players step off the team coach wearing these Dr Dre Beats headphones for their ipod!The Beats By Dr. Dre do sound good though and match the headphones to a microphone and iPod control pod. With the headphones themselves being good and getting so much media exposure they will be sure to be popular in the shops as well.
In addition to the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, Monster includes a variety of accessories in the slick, red packaging. There are two, thick 3.5mm audio cables–one red for standard MP3 players and one black with a built-in mic for music phones–each measuring 4 feet long. You also get a dual-pronged airplane adapter and a quarter-inch adapter for use with your home audio system, as well as a hardshell carrying case with a carabiner attached. In addition, the Beats come with a cleaning cloth, and you’ll need it–these headphones are highly smudge-prone. Also necessary are the included AAA batteries; the headphones are noise-canceling (activated via a switch on the right earcup) and need power to work.
Of course, a pair of headphones may be the most gorgeous thing you’ve ever seen, but if they don’t hold water when it comes to audio quality, the shine is quickly diminished. Luckily, this is not an issue with the Monster Beats, which offered an exceptionally–one might say shockingly–crisp response. Maybe we’re pigeonholing here, but we expected Dr. Dre’s headphones to be excessively heavy on the low-end. That’s not to say there’s no bass–it does thump–but these ‘phones are nicely warm and balanced in the mids and truly impressive in their delivery of high-end detail. At no point did we suffer through the muddiness that can ail bass-heavy headphones.
If anything, some songs were a bit bright for our tastes and a few (but very few) tracks sounded harsh. More irritating is that the right earcup tends to rattle while you walk, so the Beats are probably best for stationary use. The genres that really shine are electronic, hard rock, and midtempo hip-hop, although other genres are also very good for the most part. No matter what the music, be forewarned that these headphones have a fair amount of sound leakage, so you’re listening experience won’t be entirely private. by (@hotsalemarts)
