Impressive, But Not For Everyone,
November 1, 2010 Randy - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beats Pro High-Performance Headphones (White) (Electronics)
I had a good listen comparing these to the original Beats. In the end, I must agree with the many others who've tried these, they are MUCH better than the beats. Bass is still predominant, but highs and especially mids are much better represented. I think it's due to the lack of noise canceling, but these are much more lively than the original Beats
At 400$, you're really not paying for sound as much as durability. These are ROCK SOLID, the entire thing is really mostly metal, except the parts with the cushions. I must stress that there are much better offerings from Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Ultrasone (google them if you've never heard of them) IN TERMS OF SOUND. But if sound is not as important for you as durability, such that you're not an audiophile but just an average listener. I promise you these will last. Let me say again, ROCK SOLID.
My biggest warning for everyone who is reading this is the comfort factor. Unlike what you've been hearing from others...Read more

Pretty Darn Good Headphones,

This review is from: Beats Pro High- Performance Headphones Black (Electronics)
OK, I'm not a music professional. I love the sound these headphones give. I don't know why other reviewers felt they weren't comfortable, I feel mine are very comfortable and wear them multiple hours. I'm 6'4" 300lbs. I'm big and they are very comfortable. On to the bad. The included travel case SUCKS!! At a $360-$400 price range this bag is unacceptable. I could make a better one myself. Also the price, is it worth $400. I think maybe. The durability of the aluminum is great.
UPDATE: August 2011. The hinge for the right earpiece broke under regular use. The headphones still work, but now they are no longer comfortable on the ears as they don't sit properly on the sides of my head. For $400, this is a ripoff. Do not buy!!!

These Beat Pros Will Not Disappoint! ( Long Review ),

This review is from: Beats Pro High- Performance Headphones Black (Electronics)
These headphones are by far the best i've ever had, and I've tried and bought many.
I have the Bose Qc15's and I have to say, if you don't mind not having noise canceling, these beat pros blow them out of the water. Not saying that the beats don't have any noise isolation!
At half volume, you won't hear a thing outside of these headphones unless someones screaming or something! I've also worn these on airplanes with an airline adapter that I picked up at the stores, and they literally block out most of the cabin noise.
The bass is just unbelievable. I play some of my Dubstep, House, Techno, Hip-Hop, Ambient, Classical, and even Vocal songs on these headphones, and I can tell you right now, they sound fantastic.
I can turn up the volume to the maximum and The bass is still there! No more ugly distortions and loss of sound. And the best thing is, the bass never overpowers everything else.
The highs on these headphones are unreal,...Read more
