Reviews: Beats by Dr. Dre - Headphone Reviews
Beats by Dr. Dre - Headphone ReviewsWell there we go... I just finished to purchase the 'Beats by Dr. Dre' and decided to share my first thoughts. First of all, I gotta say the 'Beats by Dr. Dre' are 'WOW'! I went to the Apple store in Charlotte, NC and got me one to review it for you and to hear with my own ears what they are about. I do have great respect for Dr. Dre and these headphone are fabulous. Before I get it on, let me let you know that I'm the CEO of Givemebeats.com and it's my job to listen to beats, a lot of beats. I made and sold some beats on Givemebeats.com, and there are a lot of great producers who are making some blazing hot beats on the site... I gotta hear them well. Well let's get to it. On the video, I unboxed and walked through all the items that came with it: - Beats Studio Headphone - Monster Cable headphone cable (1.3 m) - 1/8' to 1/4' adapter - Monster iSoniTalk (tm) for iPhone, Blackberry and other music phone - Touring case - Monster clean cloth with advance Aegis Microbe Shield technology - Anti Microbial cleaning cloth - Two AAA batteries - One year limited warranty Some other features found: - Spaciously designed earcups, which provide extra room for a higher level of comfort and listening - Beatheable cushions, which reduce the sweat factor: stay cool while the music's hot - Specially integrated mute button, which allows you to listen to the outside world without removing your Beats What did I see? It was pretty amazing how everything was designed and put together. The colors match greatly: black,red,gray. The box looks very good, which is one of the reasons why you don't want to throw it away. A quick start guide, which was better than a full manual, however you can download the latter on the monster website. I like the case that stored the headphone, but it may be to big to fit in certain places (but that's fine though). Overall it is a stylish headphone, everything looks and feels good. What did I hear? “With Beats, people are going to hear what the artists hear, and listen to the music the way they should: the way I do.”, Dr Dre. Well I finished to put the headphone together, added the batteries, connected the cord... well it was going to be the time I was going to say 'WOW' a lot (in the video). The headphone felt pretty well on my head, and my ears were enclosed in the cups so I could be in my music mode, all by myself. That's when it got better, I started the music and what I heard was unheard of, what I felt was impalpable. I heard the most incredible sound ever on a headphone. I'm talking in a hip-hop point of view, let me try to let you hear what I heard. You know, some people put sub-woofer in their vehicle, set up their stereo very nice... and when they are driving they are enjoying the music with full bass with all those tomb tomb sound (kick 808)... well I heard all that in the headphone. On most headphones you have to turn up the volume to get a decent high and low, the Beats by Dr. Dre weren't like that, at a very low volume you will experience great sound. It was very impressive. I played old and new songs, hip-hop, r&b, and rock music on it... and definitely these headphones are great. Conclusion. These headphones go for $ 350 at Best Buy, Apple Store, and Beatsbydre.com. You're probably saying they are expensive, but they are among the best in their class. Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Akon, Bono, The Edge, Pharrell Williams and Gwen Stefani tried them out and liked what they heard. Dre also got a thumbs-up from other producers. The Beats by Dr. Dre cater to music producers and consumers who want to hear the music in its essence. As of now on, when I'm going to listen to the beats on Givemebeats.com or making some hot beats myself, I will be using because I know they will help me deliver the best sound. By the way, after you finish to try them out, you won't want to hear music in your $ 60 headphone.
