So I FINALLY got a chance to hear the Dr. Dre Beats headphones


Ok, so I was up at Best Buy, and I figured I'd go see what all the rave is about with these Beats headphones. I've been meaning to check them out for a while, just never got around to it. Anyways, so I pop these bad boys on, and I'm not gonna front, the sound was GREAT! The noise cancelling was great cause my dad was like talkin right beside me and I couldnt hear a damn word he was sayin before I pressed play. BUT all the stuff that I heard in the previews of the songs that they gave me, I've already heard before, or I've noticed. Apparently the Beats headphones let you hear all of this stuff that the artist wants you to hear and all that. Well maybe its cause of the fact that I actually make beats, and make music myself, I have a sharper ear to whats in a song beat-wise or w/e compared to someone who is just a listener. Cause I know when I be listening to songs or w/e I'll point out background stuff that some of my friends never heard until I pointed it out, so yea I think I have a nice ear for that. Well, for the naked ear, I give them a 5/5. Is it worth the $400? No. Maybe $300? No. The fairest price in my opinion is probably anywhere from $100-250. I can buy $20 headphones and hear the same stuff that takes you spending $400 to hear. For MY situation, I wouldn't need them, plus if they broke I'd be rather upset, but yea. I'm gonna stop rambling.

Pretty much, if you DON'T do music, then these are great headphones and they have a lot of benefits.

If you DO do music and you are as consumed into it as I am, then these'll just be like the $20 or $40 ones without the superb noise-cancelling capabilites.

Overall, are they good headphones? Yes. Very.
