Beats by Dr. Dre Studio Headphones – Review

Since E$ is interested, and maybe some others are as well, I figured I’d give the official Bynum review of my new headphones!  To begin, I must forewarn you that these headphones are not exactly a cheap buy, so if you are looking for the “smart” buy with regards to cost this probably is not what you are looking for.  Now that THAT’S out of the way, let’s get to the review.

The very first thing that I noticed about the headphones when I put them on in Best Buy is that they were not small by any means.  I was almost deterred by that alone, but my mission was to test out the best products so I tried them out.  Once you put these headphones on you won’t want to take them off (I’ve been bobbing around my house with them on…LOL).  You LITERALLY feel like you are in a recording studio….you can hear every bit of the music.  I particularly like this because coming from a music background, I am allll about hearing the small things that make the music.  Another thing that you will notice very quickly is the BASS in the music.  The great part about the bass is that its not like you are in someone’s car with WAYYY too much in their trunk making the car rattle.  The bass is drawn out so that it compliments the music (but let’s be real, these are headphones by DRE so you do feel the bump). As i said before, I tried out the Bose Quiet Comfort headphones too, and I liked the sound these gave better.

The one drawback for these headphones is that they do not do a very good job at all of keeping the music audible to JUST the user of the headphones.  You can actually turn the volume all the way up and lay the headphones down on the table and everyone in the room would be jamming to what’s playing.  Because of this…i have to dock some on my rating scale. I’d imagine that most people do not want everyone in the room singing along to what they are listening to.  Overall though, these are probably the best headphones you are going to get (short of whatever the DJs and professionals invest in), and because of this, labeling them as “overpriced” is inaccurate in my opinion.  Everybody isn’t going to be interested in paying that much for some stinking headphones, but if you are a music lover and will be using them a lot, I’d say give them a look.  I give the Beats by Dr. Dre Studio Headphones a 4.5 out of 5.
