Best I've owned,
January 22, 2009 R. Cabot - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beats by Dr. Dre Tour High-Resolution In-Ear Headphones from Monster (Electronics)
I've owned the Bose in-ear and V-moda Vibe, and these are hands down the best out of the three. I can't say these are better than highly acclaimed earphones like etymotics, but as an owner of three earphones in similar price ranges I can say these are the ones to get.
Let me start off and say that when I first tried these, I put them back in the box to return. On all the other in-ears I've tried I used the medium tips, so I assumed it'd be the same with these ones. I put on the medium round tips and the sound was horrible. I was really disappointed. But later on in the day I decided to try them again after reading that the large triple flange were the best tips. After doing this, and also turning sound check and EQ off, the sound was amazing! The v-modas are good for bass, but the monster beats have an all around better sound. I used to think the bose in-ear were really good but they are the worst of the three and I wouldn't recommend them.
The tips that work for...Read more

One of the Best Work-Out and "On the Go" Headphones Available,
December 28, 2009 Shon (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beats by Dr. Dre Tour High-Resolution In-Ear Headphones from Monster (Electronics)
At the end of the day, the durability of these headphones is what sets them apart from the rest.
Like most things, there is no shortage of opinion as to who makes the "best" headphones. Overtime, you can almost predict the reviews before you look at a product (Shure, Etymotic, etc = Great; Bose = overpriced, etc, etc). The basic problem with all of these is that you can't account for everyone's ear. Simply put, it doesn't matter if someone else hears or does not hear the difference in a set of headphones if you can't. This becomes an even bigger issue with in ear headphones as I know plenty of people who don't use them because they simply can't find a plug that fits comfortably in their ear.
Bottom line - be prepared for some trial and error before you arrive at the in-ear headphones that work for you.I did. But now, I think I have finally found my answer with these Beats by Dre Tour In-Ear headphones.
I was skeptical from the jump given that it...Read more

BEWARE, COUNTERFEIT!!,
August 27, 2010 Ali AlHashimi "HasH" (Qatar) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
* UPDATE, September 9 2010
THESE HEADPHONES ARE COUNTERFEIT. ALONG WITH THE BOSE OE HEADPHONES I PURCHASED FROM THE SAME SELLER "ARTMART".
I have removed my previous "negative" review after finding out the product is a counterfeit, since to be fair i do not know know what the "REAL" headphones sound like or compare to.
Many factors give away that theyre fake/counterfeit:
1. the sound is worse that the standard Apple iPod headphones, MUCH MUCH worse
2. the build quality is terrible. From connectors, wires, the ornamental parts etc.
3. the packaging is a give away, honestly i only noticed it today! It seems as if was color photocopied! Whats worse, when you open the red box with the magnetic tab, the inside flap should say "sound matters", mine said "sound mattes"!!!!! For Gods sake if youre going to counterfeit something atleast make sure youre spelling is correct!!!!
Watch this youtube clip that highlights the real vs...Read more
