I believe what I think is the general [SIZE=3]consensus on Beats By Dre Headphones,[/SIZE] They’re overpriced, overhyped and are mainly popular because the average headphone buyer see’s how many celebreties use them and all the product placement Beats are involved in. You can get many other headphones that are better then “DRE Beats” for much less! (around $100) I’m not saying their horrible and worthless, I still think like other consumers as I believe they look great. But I am a headphone addict and I’ve conducted my own test and my Shure SRH-440’s are definitely better the the Solo HD’s.
They over compensate the bass freq’s and don’t have good enough isolation for club use. Great for iPods. Not great for djing.
Personally I’d look at sennheiser hd25-II’s or aiaiai TMA-1’s. Both great headphones, tma’s slightly better if you’re after an all rounder for djing and iPod use.
Incredibly overpriced, and overrated. They’re great if you’re used to Apple’s stock earphones, but to anyone who has used quality headphones, they’re a POS. I highly suggest saving your money for a pair of the Sennheiser HD 280s – they boast up to -32db of isolation, in addition to the crystal clear sound reproduction! Plus, they cost a fraction of the Beats.
