He's made more off of sound canceling ear phones than he ever did selling records... go figure.... the world would rather pay for him to shut the fuck up

Smart man! Same here.

I have a shotgun mic on my cam and damn you can hear through walls clearly between the two.

Most other headphones sound muffled, like film of plastic over the drivers compared to these high end Sony's, AKG and Sennhieser.

Where you getting your data from?

Dr. Dre is a mafucken legend.

Now, I have to disagree with you. He is not a legend, he is lucky.

He is a smart business man, yes. However, he was at the right place at the right time to establish his name.

Same here.

Personally I don't like earbud-type headphones, preferring neckband types. I find that having to constantly wrap the cables to store them in my pockets ends up breaking them in a very short time, and I just don't like jamming things in my ear :upsidedow

Oh sure, I have to deal with the cable when wearing the neckband ones but I'm used to that.

I switched to Shennheiser neckband headphones but after going through about a pair a year due to inner-cable breakage I tried the cheaper Scosche actionwraps and those have lasted much longer than the Sennheisers.

I've got several pairs of Sony in my home studio. For the price, they're the all around best you can buy.:2 cents:

Beats are just a marketing ploy, and only idiots buy them and suddenly think music just got better. A kid I recorded a few months ago brought a set of Beats with him, and by the time he left he was off to pick up a pair of Sony and chuck the beats onto CL.

:winkwink::winkwink::winkwink:

These are great. :thumbsup I got them at B&H for $79, best bang for the buck. I also have the Sennheiser HD 380 Pro.

I can get them for you wholesale. Less than $50 for the $150 earbuds. Holler.

i can't recall why i chose the mdrv6 over these, they might not have been available to listen through........hmmmmm.....i do think the v6 sound pretty nice though. if they ever crap out, i'll have to take a goodlisten to the ones you have though.

I guess it depends on what you grew up listening to. For me, it was old school rap mostly and Dre produced a metric shit ton of some of my favorites.

All the headphones with the little hooks at the end are meant for the gym. They stay on your ears and the part that goes in your ear is made out of rubber / water resistant.

http://www.beatsbydre.com/earphones/...owerbeats.html (EDIT: looks like they are only $140 now, thats a good deal, used to be like $200).

I got these as a gift. I have bought other cheaper brands for $100 cheaper. Think these are like $200. Other brands you can get $75-100. Make sure they got those hooks - then you know its for the gym and the part that goes inside the ear is water resistant.

BeatsByDre has nice sound, good bass. If you don't give a shit about the $100, it's worth it, the sound is nicer. If you don't care about sound / care aobut the $, the other ones are serviceable and do the job just fine. :2 cents:

I wouldn't recommend regular headphones for the gym if you sweat a lot. Theyll slide off, it's annoying, and you will likely ruin them fairly quickly. The ones without the hooks always fall off and I sweat a lot. The regular ear buds without hooks that arent waterproof, once the sweat gets in the sound goes out and they fall out as well.

what :1orglaugh the guy is talented as fuck, the beats he made in the 90's are still the best ones ever made.

A legend is John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Michael, Jackson, Jimmy Page, Johnny cash.

Not Dre. lol he created beats all electronically, he did not play or perform these beats as a real legendary musician would.

There is a major difference. he is glorified DJ nothing more.

People Like John Lennon and Jimmy Page paved the way for many of these later performers.

Dre is just another electronic musician who came after the legends RUNDMC.

This is the shit poor people which are forever doomed to be low wage employees say. "He was lucky". We can all presume from the financial failure that is your life that you are of course, "unlucky". After all, what's the alternative? That you are just lazy, unmotivated and unintelligent? Hard work, willingness to take risks, passion, drive, determination and will to succeed have nothing to do with it, I guess. He was just "lucky" LOL

Are you assuming I am financially "unlucky" because I made a simple statement?

If so, your perception is very clouded.

I speak facts: back street boys, new kids on the block, weren't lucky according to you since they made a million each and now are completely broke with two exceptions from those groups.

Please inform me of your view.

Steven Tyler is a hard working legend and still going strong since day one. He is lazy? Lucky?
My view from the facts demonstrated before me, Steven Tyler is a very hard working Legend. Luck has nothing to do with where he is in life.

Dre. was at the right place at the right time in the electronic age. He is not as talented as one might think, Desmond Child is a far better artist.

Nothing Dre produce will ever touch MJ's Thriller album in which Desmond Child and Eddie Van Halen wrote and produced for the writer/artist Michael Jackson.

All the music on Thriller were both created electronically and most importantly performed with real instruments.

If anyone thinks that Dre is on the same level as John Lennon and or Eddie Van Halen are simply delusional.
John Lennon effected the world, Eddie Van Halen changed the face of music over night with an incredible performance we all know as "Eruption"

Do not put a guy like Dre in the same category. Jimi Hedrix is a god... Dre not so much... lol

Uhh they are by Dre... Duh :pimp

they are way overpriced :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

:thumbsup
Brainwashed by marketing buys them.
If you buy one you look like a fool in smart people's eyes. :2 cents:

So who copied who's logo??? : http://www.groupebeaucage.com/fr/

What are those? And how do we determine which beats are best?

There is the context of your constant uber liberal theme in all your posts that i was considering. It came as no shock that you'd characterize someones incredible and enduring success as "luck"... and its pretty fucking clear when someone makes those kinds of remarks that they have neither seen success or created any jobs. Luck has nothing to do with it. It's hard work. It's determination. It's dedication. It's maturity. It's having the drive to succeed and the will to make it happen.

We all have opportunity all around us, all day long. It's not "luck" to make the decision that you want it and you're going to go after it. Dr Dre was working for a very long time for nothing, busting his ass as a hip hop dj, selling his own cd's out of a car, then struggling as a rapper, then successful as a rapper, then successful as a producer.

Then, knowing you are on the wrong end of a retardedly hopeless argument, you suddenly create a false argument that no one made, comparing him to John Lennon or Eddie Van Halen... Wow.

Busting your ass and never giving up no matter what, is not "luck". Only the ignorant and poor think that's not the case.

You can get better at a better price.

Yep, my £40 sonys do the job.

koss porta pro is the real sound! :thumbsup

the guy is a composer and producer. Huge difference with a "glorified DJ". If you'd listen to hiphop and rap music (which you would never do, people like you aren't open to anything but your own taste), you can see his productions are so extremely well made, it's brilliant.

You are simply wrong. My argument is dead on. Dre is not a legend and never will be.
He will be forgotten in the next decade. John Lennon will not be forgotten.

So who is the one make a retarded argument?

Is this the education level of people in the adult industry?

Did you even read my entire response, I grew up listening to all shades of music and started with pfunk, rundmc, necleus, and the break dance era.
"Jam on it" is far more legendary that anything DRE touched! That is not an opinion either, its FACT. Freebird, Billy Jean, Jam on it is remembered thru the tests of times.
You really think Dre is on that legendary level where millions and millions world wide generation after generation will be revered and remembered like the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, AC-DC?

Are you even a musician? I am thinking not. The beats dre supposedly creates are already sampled and created electronically.
A real performing musician/drummer has to be aware of exactly how he or she plays that percussion instrument to create a mood and setting as the beat is the backbone to the composition. He or she can kick the drum head soft, medium and hard, ever type of skin, type of material effects the out come as well.
DRE does NONE of this, its already handed to him. He pushes buttons and you called him brilliant? Wow just wow.

I am a musician, I practically live in the studio. I know what it takes to create music as well as the process in the 60's vs. the 90's- 2000 eras.
Protools and Reason make it super simple to make beats. Do not argue with me about this, you will just be a complete idiot.

The reason songs from the past decades stand to the test of times, is because there was far more work done from start and finish an album in the 60's.
A performer had to perform the actual music as it did not exist or nor did we have Protools and Reason in the 50's, 60's, 70's and early 80's.
then we had to cut and splice tape over and over til it was right, and through out out this entire process we were given the opportunity to make the song even better and better as NOTHING was rushed like the corporate world of music today.

Corporate bullshit now days. Beats headphones do actually suck and dumb people follow trends.
Put more money is Dre's pocket for a shitty sounding pair of headphones that look really cool. Yup that's brilliant.

Look fuckstick. Your argument is that Dre was "lucky" and that's why he is successful. You're a third rate employee which is why you have no clue what it actually takes to remain successful over time all your other insane ramblings have zero to do with that simple point.

Third rate employee? You really think so?
You are stupid fuck tard. HP found a hip new artist to pimp out you stupid fuck.
HP is laughing at everyone. If it was not for HP, you would not be having this conversation.

HP chose the poster boy to make millions from his ignorant low level trend followers.
HP is brilliant to hire the puppet Dre because he has a millions of sheep who thinks his music is wonderful.

Hats of to the real brains behind this decision. HP.

I own my corporations, companies, programs, homes, and what ever else I feel is necessary.
I do not work for others, so how am I a third rate employee?

You are too stupid for business.

I bought the Dre in ear headphones a while back and they sucked. Ended up buying a Sennheiser after, but it was pretty bad also. After spending like $300, I thought I will never find the right headphones, but gave it an other go and bought a Bose. It rocks and I'm using it ever since. I'll stay as far away as Dre products as possible. :-)

Smart man, sorry to hear that you lost money to find what was right for you.
Bose are super high quality, and everyone knows this.

Unlike HP, Bose does not need a poster boy to sell their products.

here is a bump for Belinda

True players bring a live band to the Gym with them ... no need for headphones :thumbsup

I started out producing techno/hardcore tracks and later i produced hiphop beats and rapped myself too. So i know exactly how the production process works. It's not a sample here and a sample there, it resembles composing with alot of instruments; the difference is the instruments are digital instead of physical. That's the only difference.

That could be a nice prank idea :1orglaugh

Agree 100% I have been extremely pleased with the two Grado products I own.

I don't know who makes my headset.

But that difference is huge. HUGE! It is what separates musicians from imitators.

Yes Protools and Reason captures live perform instruments.

However, most new age R&B Rap, Hip Hop is not performed with instruments.
Wu-Tang is an exception, they are musicians and hire studio musicians to perform the tracks when necessary.

Let's just say, I have been in the studio with some of these guys.

Real studio musicians also capture by analog Reel to Reel then import to Pro Tools for digital mix down and mastering.
This is where critical listening is required with real high Head Phones and awesome Mackie HR near field monitors.

So please stop.

Thanks Juicy!

When will we be seeing you again? Seems like it's been forever!

mozart wasn't even talented, fucking guy didn't even invent his own instrument. he was just in the right place at the right time and was just lucky is all.

dude didn't even record ONE platinum record!

Same could be said for someone arguing that someone who plays the real guitar is better than jimmy hendrix because he plays the electric guitar, etc. The end result of making great music is what really matters.

RZA produces his stuff electronically. You are a hypocrite.

Lets not forget that Dr Dre discovered Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and 50 Cent. All 3 of them were leaders of their genre at one point in time. Yeah, pretty "lucky" for one guy to repeat the same thing three times in a row.

I am not interested in entering this argument.

However I will say that after one success, the light is shone on you and people gravitate towards this.... Being able to pick who is worth chasing, well that is another story and i'm sure he has invested in many who turned out to be worthless...

With regards to headphones and working out.

Just grab 10 sets of cheap ebay ones. I use these for my work outs, because when i'm working out, i'm working out, NOT thinking the music is not sound to my standards because of the ear phones.

I tend to go through workout headphones like crazy which is why i turned to cheap as chips ebay ones.

I'm using these from time to time:

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-V150-.../dp/B000092YPR Less than $30 and guess what !?!?
I can hear the music too !
