Beats by Dr. Dre Studio Wired Over-Ear Headphones - Silver

I had heard so much about Beats Headphones and how good they sound I just had to purchase a pair! I was not disappointed, clear sound quality with good bass response. This was and excellent price for these and I truly recommend these to anyone that want a great sounding pair of headphones!

Dr. Dre Headphones have become the most popular brand of headphones since their inception in 2008. They have become a symbol of quality and style. This societal incorporation has allowed for prices to skyrocket. When buying Dr. Dre Beats, one should remember that part of the price tag is not based on sound quality or even build quality. Most reviews saying Dr. Dre Beats products are "the best headphones ever" are a result of one's first purchase of a high quality headphone. The first time you put on a pair of these headphones you will be absolutely blown away. The sound will be incredible and even for those who do not love music will enjoy listening. This is because the comparison most draw is from the terrible earbuds that come with Apple products for example. Of course a $300 pair of headphones will sound infinitely better than essentially free throw in earbuds from Apple. That being said there is something to be said about the differences between the Beats products. The only pair even remotely worth buying is the Studios. They are the only pair that comes close to being as good as their price indicates. The solo HDs have made strides over the original Solo but are still double the price they should be at $200. The old Studios had a common complaint regarding exaggerating the high and low sounds in music. For example the bass in songs is exaggerated, and most who prefer rap or dubstep genres enjoy it better. However, the vast majority of music (and arguably even rap/dubsteb.etc.) sound much better without exaggerated sounds. This made some draw the conclusion that Beats were terrible and distorting. It is true that an equally good headphones exist at prices ~$175, and they are normally less distorting. Many people are put off by the appearances of those headphones compared to Beats, but if aesthetics are something you can get over I'd suggest exploring other options. For me, I bought these knowing about the cheaper alternatives because of how cool these are. They are much smaller than old Studios and most other high quality headphones. They look absolutely incredible and are SO comfortable. They fit perfectly over the ear and will be comfortable for hours. The new Studios have improved sound quality a great amount and reduced distortion enough to satisfy the most hardcore audiophile, but not enough to put off a bass enthusiast. These are now rechargeable! The old ones had to take AAA batteries and replacing them was more than annoying. The new ones need an hour to fully charge and they last 20 hours of use before the battery runs out. The new beats are also much less fragile than the old pairs (especially in the headband) and are overall a great product. I cannot say I regret buying these for any reason.
