Product Description:

Beats Studio headphones are engineered to reveal the full crisp and clear sound that digital, high definition sound has to offer. Even the most demanding rock, hip hop and R&B music sounds sonically better through Beats Studio by Dr. Dre’s Hi Def headphones. The speaker design features state of the art, advanced technology with noise canceling technology that cuts external noise and includes powered amplification to bring home the deep bass tones and clarity of the music.

The Beats Studio headphones feature an adjustable head band for a comfortable fit. The headphones have 2 spacious ear cups with breathable, plush cushions for comfortable listening, as well as, the iSonitalk cable complete with an answer button and mic that turns Beats Studio into a two way head set for the iPhones or other music related phones.

Beats Studio headphones were developed to fix the eco system of sound. They are the conduit that brings the emotion of sound to the listener in the way the music was recorded. The quality of the headphones enhances the digital music and flattens out any distortion that may creep into the music because of the way digital sound works and is recorded. Beats Studios brings high fidelity where it belongs and that is in the music that brings nothing but joy to the world.

The Beats Studio headphones are battery operated. When the headphones are turned on, a red light appears, indicating the unit is on and the battery power is strong. As the battery winds down, the light will turn to amber indicating diminishing battery power and the user better have replacement batteries on hand. There is room in the headphone carrying case for 2 sets of extra batteries. The length of battery life and how often they are replaced depends on the brand of battery used, the amount of time the headphones are on and and if the headphones are turned off after a listening session is complete. The wise person will buy the required size batteries in bulk if lengthy listening sessions are anticipated and to be sure to have fresh power on hand whenever the urge to listen to music arises.

The strength of the battery also has some bearing on the quality of sound delivered through the headphones. It is not always wise or even recommended to let the batteries wear down to nothing to assure the listener of clear, crisp rock and roll sound. If the headphones are going to be stored for any length of time, it is recommended to remove the batteries to avoid corrosion in place.

The Beats Studio headphones should be used in a dry environment. Using them in the liquid elements will cause damage to head phones as well as the inner workings of the headphones. Wipe the headphones with the included monster cloth after every use and make sure they are stored in a dry, cool place. The headphones should be kept in their case when not in use and not left where they can be damaged. If the user takes care of the Beats, the Beats will take care of the user.

Dr. Dre’s Beats Studio headphone kit is contained in a big, red box. The big, red box contains everything the hardcore audiophile and even the occasional listener needs for the state of the art listening experience.

The adapter is made of 24K gold for maximum signal transfer and for corrosion elimination.

The inclusion of the iSonitalk cable with answer button was pure genius. It allows the user to take calls with an iPhone or other music related phones. To keep your Beats Studio headphones clean and germ free, the Monster Cleaning Cloth made with Aegis microbe shield is also included. It is recommended to wipe down the headphones, especially the ear cushions, after every use.

The big red box is a sign of quality when it comes to listening to music.

 

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Some of the good things about the headphones is they have impressive bass for those who can’t get enough of those deep, resounding thumping booms. The Beats also amplify the sound for portable devices such as MP3 players and iPods. The noise cancelling feature is outstanding at eliminating those pesky outside noises of everyday life that draw away from the superb quality of sound the headphones deliver. Leather material and plush cushioning on the ear cups adds to the high quality, as well as, comfort of the headset. There is a mute button cleverly disguised as the Beat logo on the right side of the headphones and there is a headphone cord on the left side. The headphones collapse for easy storage in the rigid storage case, included with set, and protect the headphones when not in use, whether while being stored or on the move to a different location. The headband and exterior of the ear cups are made from a scratch resistant plastic material that retains its glossy finish to keep the Beats always looking good and to make sure you stand out from the pack. The headphone unit is lightweight, making wearing them on your head or resting on your shoulders for any extended length of time comfortable.

One of the best things about Beats Studio headphones is their light weight and compact size. They are a far cry from the headphones of old that were bulky and heavy. It was almost necessary for the user to do neck strengthening exercises just so they could hold their head up and support the weight of the earphones. Today’s headphones, especially Beats, are collapsible for easy storage and transporting. There is no strain on the users head, neck and shoulders with heavy head gear which also makes the Beats easy on the ears, weight and sound wise, as well.

Some of the not so good things about Beats Studio headphones are that the audiophiles that use the Beats Studio headphones find the depth of the surround sound less than desirable. With the, what some consider a hefty price tag, that feature should be far superior to what it actually is. The headphones operate on two AAA batteries and the user must remember to turn the headphones off when not in use or the batteries will wear out before their time. The headphones will not operate without batteries and there is no corded, plug in option for the headphones. The cost of the headphones is more than most people want to pay for the level of quality the head phones deliver. Some who purchase and use the Beats Studio headphones, think there are better options with more built in quality for the same price as the Beats.

The screws that secure the earphones to the headband sometimes loosen and eventually fall out and once they come loose there is no way to re-tighten them in. They can be taped or glued in place but that is not the way the headphones are supposed to be put together and there is no guarantee the headphones will stay together. Other people who purchased and used the Beats headphones found the construction to be of inferior quality. The headband cracked and after a few more listening sessions, found the headphones to be unstable. They did not hold secure around the head and if jamming or dancing, the headphones would fly off. If the headphones were dropped on the floor, they usually did not survive the fall unscathed.

The ear cups, while very comfortable, even for extended listening, have a tendency to fall off when being taken off. If the user does not notice the ear cup missing there is the chance the ear cup could be lost forever. It is not always so easy to replace the ear cup and listening with the headphones is usually not possible without them.

There is some noise leakage that occurs depending on the volume of the sound. At full volume anyone sitting in spitting distance will probably hear the music being listened to and either enjoy the music or find it terribly annoying. If the listener is one to sing along with their favorite tunes, be advised strange looks might come their way, especially if the audience is a captive one while on an airplane, bus or train trip. Remember to always be considerate of those around you and your neighbors will not be inclined to rip the Beats off your head and throw them against the wall. Remember, there is no policy in place to replace or repair any headphones slammed against a wall in a fit of sound related rage or slam dancing.

A problem that all users have with the Beats Studio headphones is the sound just cuts out every once in a while. While most users tend to just continue to use the headphones as they are until it is time to buy another set, others will resort to sending the headphones back to the manufacturer or place of sale and request a replacement or try and figure out the problem. In a lot of cases, self diagnosis of the malfunctioning headphone found there was a loose connection within the inner workings of the ear phone. A simple soldering job sometimes fixed the dysfunction or a complete rewiring of the ear phone was in order. Whichever method works means the headphone owner will avoid the sometimes time taking path to get the repair completed.

The overall quality of the headphones seems to be an issue with some of the people that purchased and used the Beats. They find the quality not up to the punishment a user can give headphones for anything other than passive listening. Others who use the Beats find the headphones do not travel well. The constant jostling and bumpy of the case does not help the stability of the headphones. The carrying case protects the headphones to a point, but beyond that point for any extended period of time, the protection is not all that great.
