Beats Headphones - Review of a new line of celebrity inspired headphones

In my spare time when I'm not tinkering with computers and other fun gadgets, I'm a big music nut and somewhat of an audiophile, if you will. Looking for quality headphones as I tend to travel a lot I kept hearing all the hype about Dr. Dre's & Lady Gaga's set of celebrity affiliated headphone line. So I decided to pick them up and give them a shot

Some items I always look for in headphones (and unfortunately, as a software developer I've gone through a lot as I'm always listening to music):

Comfort - This is key to me...sometimes I'll go hours before taking my headphones off

Noise Canceling - I wear headphones for a very important 2nd reason: I don't want to hear peripheral noise when I'm in the zone

How well does my music sound?

Can I see myself using them on a daily basis?

This is my experience:

General Review

Pros:

1. They're very stylish - I get lots of questions as people notice them, especially girls, so if anything they're a great conversation starter

2. They're comfortable - The padding in the cuffs themselves are definitely top notch for this price range and they don't irritate my sensitive ears as I tend to usually blast my music

3. They provide a pretty good balance in terms of sound and a nice thumping of bass (especially with Hip Hop)

Cons:

1. They require 2 AAA Batteries

2. The packaging is a bit excessive

3. They are a tad big, but I don't mind this

Technical Review

Pros:

1. I thought all of the hype in quality was hear-say, but the sound quality is pretty impressive. Music at the sound rate of 128kbps to 192kbps that I tested (the average rate for most music) sounds INCREDIBLE for headphones

2. 1/8 to 1/4 adapter with 24k gold contacts is included

3. Noise canceling is available

Cons:

1. The noise canceling isn't the best, but it's tolerable. Unless I'm blasting music and in the zone, I occasionally hear noise

For the most part, these headphones fit my guidelines from earlier. If you care to find out more about Dr. Dre's Monster Beat Headphones check them out. I don't think I'll do away with them just yet.

Side note, another great set of headphones that I was torn between was the Bose Noise Canceling Headphones. Only reason I didnt choose these was simply cause I didn't have the disposable funds available at the time. Maybe this will be my next purchase, hmmm

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
