Manufacturer's Description

Dre Says:
"People aren't hearing all the music. Artists and producers work hard in the studio perfecting their sound. But people can't really hear it with normal headphones. Most headphones can't handle the bass, the detail, the dynamics. Bottom line, the music doesn't move you. With Beats, people are going to hear what the artists hear, and listen to the music the way they should: the way I do."

Artists and producers spend countless hours fine-tuning and mixing music to get it exactly how they want their fans to hear it. But the vast majority of headphones can't accurately reproduce the intricacies produced in the studio. Studios, simply put, can. With precision-engineered, advanced speaker design, powered amplification, and powered noise cancellation, you hear music the way today's top artists and producers want you to hear.

Go ahead--take the beats for a spin

It's all about sound
Three years of thorough research and development resulted in the most incredible headphone speaker ever built. Beats features highly advanced materials and construction to deliver a new level of audio accuracy and clarity. Combining extra-large speaker drivers and a high-power digital amplifier, Beats delivers an unprecedented combination of super deep bass, smooth undistorted highs, and crystal clear vocals never heard before from headphones.

Less Noise, More Music with Powered Isolation
Today's digital audio recording technology gives music more detail than ever before. Unfortunately, the details get easily lost in today's noisy world: on the street, on the bus, on the plane. The best listening experience isn't just about what you hear, but what you don't. Monster's powered isolation technology actively cuts external noise, so you experience all the rich details your favorite artists want you to hear.

Extreme Comfort is Music to Your Ears
With Beats, you feel the music, not the headphones. Spacious earcups give you extra room for a higher level of listening comfort. Plush ear cushions covered with ultra-soft breathable materials keep you cool even when the music's hot.

Ready for iPhone
Stay connected without missing a beat. Beats comes with an additional Monster iSoniTalk iPhone enable headphone cable with built-in answer button and microphone so you can easily stop rockin' and start talkin'.

Wired with Monster Cable®
Though we're much more these days, Monster built its reputation developing and manufacturing ground-breaking audio cable technology, so obviously Studios come with the best headphone cable available. Advanced Monster™ Cable headphone cable with Quadripole™ 4 twisted pair construction reduces signal loss for balanced sound and extreme clarity. Plus, corrosion resistant 24k gold mini-jacks that maximize signal transfer.

Speakers like none the world has ever experienced
There's no doubt that Beats by Dr. Dre Studios look amazing. But what makes Studios really special is the part you'll never see: The speakers and drivers. It took three years of thorough research and development to create the most incredible headphone speaker ever built. Constructed of advanced materials, they deliver unprecedented audio accuracy and clarity. Combining extra-large speaker drivers and a high-power digital amplifier, Studios deliver a previously unheard combination of super deep bass, smooth undistorted highs, and crystal clear vocals. It's a level of audio reproduction that you absolutely have to experience to fully grasp.

Extreme Comfort
Feel the music, not the headphones. Spacious earcups give you extra room for a higher level of listening comfort. Plush ear cushions covered with ultra-soft breathable materials keep you cool, even during marathon listening sessions.

Customer Reviews

The best headphones I have owned.
I have honestly owned so many headphones you would think I was mad. Obviously these should only be classed against other over-ear headphones for audiophile/recording/monitoring use. I use mine purely for musical enjoyment, though I have been told they are the headphone of choice in the music industry too - though I cannot vouch for this.
The headphones are well packaged/presented, which means nothing I know, they are also well constructed and feel 'sturdy', which means only a little for me. Importantly the sound is exceptional...
I first listened to these in the Apple Store in Soho/NY to Kanye West - Stronger; a song and artist I despise. However, the quality of sound simply blew me away and I spent about 30-minutes in the shop listening to a variety of tracks. I FOOLISHLY did not but them for the $300 they retail for in the US. On returning to the UK and having tried them again in John Lewis, I decided to purchase from Apple Store in Kingston, London. Retail was £279 but I explained I had found them on the web for £229 so they sold to me for £249 and threw in 3-year guarantee.
Sound: Deep Bass, Pleasing treble, not tinny at all. Sounds engulfs you!
What good for: Nearly everything if you appreciate DETAIL - I've heard things in Fleet foxes, Beatiful South, Foo Fighters that I cannot pick out through other headphones.
What not good for: Classical - I would recommend Grado for the job here, where detail is in mid-tones, treble regions.
Comfort: 3-4 hours srints are not uncomfortble at all.
Battery: Changed after ~200 hours listening.
Sound cancellation: Not important to me at all, but it seems to cancel out white noise, general background noise well.
Sound enclosure: Not great, sounds will be heard by those around you with iPod volume >60%.
Carry Case: Sturdy and well worth taking on travel.
Summary: If you can get these closer to £200 than £300 do buy them. If you like a powerful sound there is no other choice at all.

Monster Beat Monster Let Down
I just wanted to write a very short and sweet review to anyone who is considering spending £270 on these headphones. There is an incredible ammount of hype about them and when i got them for christmas i just couldnt wait to tear the wrapper off. However i was very dissapointed when i found that these hugely hyped " Massive Bass" headphones are actually not as good as my bose on ears which cost me almost three times less.
I would say if your looking for an amazing pair of headphones then the bose on ears all the way. Monster beats are too designer for my liking and are more about looks and glamour than the actual music.
The thing i do like about the beats though is the sound cancelling, it is very good, however i have not have tried bose quiet comforts or any other noise cancelling headphones i cant really compare them to anything else.
Great headphones but a little to pricey for my liking and theres others that are much better for much much less.

Dr Dre Beats Rule
These headphone are truely the best, The sound that comes out of them is really clear, yeah I do admint that to have the full experience you will need to have your tracks at 340kbps or higher. As alot of my 128kbps - 256kps just sound average and to compressed (which they are). I only had these headphones to use with my Nokia N82, I did find that sound coming from me N82 sounded much better than me Ipod touch, Believe it or not, Music sounded much fuller and more bass.
But anyway, Yes these are very pricey, I managed to get mine for £170 but i would have paid £280 the retail price if i had to, the reason i got them was more down to the fact they had "Dr Dre" name on them not to how good they were. (although they are alot better than expected)

One problem i do have, is that when using the handsfree wire the headphones constatly click (sound comming out of the headphones) so i dont understand why it does this, Might just be down to my Nokia N82.
Also as time is going on im finding the folding hindges are getting looser every week, But i do use them for more that 4 hours every single day.
Oh another good thing, ive had them for about a month now, and only had to change the battarys onece.

Over all they are the best, i do not regret buying them, am tempted to but the in ear ones aswell now

Hope all this help
