Our take on the Beats™ by Dr. Dre™ Studio

Bump up the beat in your music

Hear music the way the artist intended with these high-performance headphones. Legendary hip-hop producer Dr. Dre engineered Beats headphones with Monster® to reproduce studio-quality sound so that you can enjoy every nuance in your music. The new driver technology created by Monster for Beats accurately delivers that sound, especially the characteristic deep, powerful bass of modern hip-hop.

Monster's Powered Isolation™ technology actively reduces external noise so you can focus better on your music. A mute button lets you converse with others while leaving the headphones on. The Beats feature an extra-wide headband and plush, breathable cushions for comfort. They fold down to a compact size for convenient storage in the supplied carrying case.

Highlights:

  • folding, around-the-ear design
  • padded, hinged earcups and adjustable wide headband
  • up to 14dB active attenuation of ambient noise
  • push-to-listen mute button
  • 40mm speaker drivers
  • 51-inch Monster iSoniTalk™ cable with built-in answer button and microphone for iPhone™, BlackBerry®, and other compatible music-enabled phones
  • includes 1/8" to 1/4" mini plug adapter with 24k gold-plated contacts
  • compact travel case and anti-microbial cleaning cloth
  • approx. 50 hours noise canceling operation with two "AAA" batteries (included)
  • weight 9.5 oz. (with batteries)
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

Features

Overview: The Monster Beats Headphones utilize advanced speaker design and powered isolation technology to deliver all the power, clarity, and deep bass from today's music. These headphones are precision engineered to reveal the full sound of your music, including the most sonically demanding Rock, Hip Hop, and R&B. Proprietary driver technologies wired with Monster cable make every music track sound bold and clear.

Noise Isolation Technology: Monster's powered isolation technology used in the Beats Headphones cut out the noise (up to 14dB active attenuation of ambient noise) around you so all you hear is your music. The headphone's Noise Isolation feature operates approximately for 50 hours off of two supplied "AAA" batteries.

Drivers: The Monster Beats headphones feature 40mm full-range speaker drivers with proprietary speaker technology for excellent sound reproduction.

Comfortable Earcups: Spaciously designed earcups provide extra room for a higher level of comfort and listening. Plus, breathable cushions reduce the sweat factor so you stay cool when listening to your music even when active.

Mute Button: The Beats have a mute button on the right earcup which allows you to mute your music instantly.

Cell-Phone Ready: The included Monster iSoniTalk cable with built-in Answer Button and microphone for your iPhone, BlackBerry or other music-enabled phone makes it easy to mute your music and talk on your cell-phone when a call comes in.

Adapters: The headphones come supplied with a high-performance 1/8-inch stereo to 1/4-inch stereo adapter with 24k gold contacts, as well as an airline headphone adapter.

Cleaning Cloth: The supplied Monster Clean Cloth with advanced Aegie microbe Shield technology allows you to keep the Beats headphones polished and looking new.

Fold-Away Design: The Monster Beats Headphones feature a collapsible design and comes with a zippered carrying case.

Carrying Case: The included carrying case provides portable protection to keep the headphones safe and secure when you are on the go.

The Monster Beats by Dr. Dre headphones is a stylish and comfortable design and has an xceptionally crisp audio response. Sound quality is mostly balanced, with warm mids and thumping bass. I also apprciate the fact that phone/music capable cable has noise cancellation capabilities and the stylish carrying case comes in really handy.

I recieved my headphones in the mail after feeling a little skeptical for paying this much for something I normally would say, ok Sony looks good and Bose sounds better. Upon opening the box I realized not just the headphones but the packaging seems top notch. The headphones themselves produce clear cut clarity and bass that will make most kids from the 80's remember the songs we listened to in the 90's. Not a fanboy by far but great job Monster, I will never again underestimate.

exceptional, but pricey

Written By max, Los angeles, CA on Friday, July 10, 2009
 
these headphones have very good quality when hooked up to proper media center. i was very upset when i hooked this up to my computer though. the bass sounded like it was over powered and got really distorted i changed the equalizer setting to every possible setting and it wasn't that. to make sure it wasn't the speakers i switched it back to my home stereo system and it was as clean as possible. so after that i took them to a friends house and tried them out on his computer and stereo system. same results, it sounded good on the stereo, bad on the computers. so i settled with the fact you can not connect these to a crappy input or you'll get crappy sound.

for the price i had a big problem with this because i have some sennheisers that played good on both settings and the cost 50 bucks. overall though the monster headphones are better because on the home audio system, dj equipment they sound great and have very good bass system all though it sounds a little digital. buy these if you have the money
