I think that its really good. I am kind of a snob about this stuff - I was pretty surprised. I really like the freedom of not having the headphone wire moving around, having to adjust them in my ear and doing stuff like jogging on the treadmill or doing sprints and accidentally catching my hand on the headphone wire and sending my phone flying off into space as I was doing at least 2 times a week it seemed.

The thing I hate is that I can always hear stupid motherfuckers shitty-ass music coming through them. I thought headphones were supposed to contain the sound. One thing about hip hop music and people who listen to it--- they want YOU to hear it also. I can hear bass thumping from cars 100 yards away from my house, while I'm chilling in my basement watching a movie with my sound system turned up. How do you get away from these tards and their garbage music?

I was laying in bed with my gf just a couple days ago and you could hear on the street, some idiot with the bass/music really bumping at about 7:30 am in a very quiet neighborhood. He kept honking his horn to get someone to come out of their house. I looked at her and said "what is different today is that 20 years ago, that would be a 16 yr old kid who just didn't know better and hadn't learned. Today, its a 35 year old dude that just doesn't give a fuck about anyone but himself and he wants you to know it.'

i crank my shit up everywhere but home. i respect my neighbors and they respect me.

as for strangers, i could not give 1 single fuck, they will be annoying me in some way anyway with their thoughtlessness- be it now wiping sweat off the equipment, chitty chatting over the bench and not using it, driving, walking, talking too loud, sneezing at 85db in a restaurant, coughing without covering their face, etc.

As a studio musician...
I have two of these, actual studio version of the V6's : SONY MDR 7506
http://www.pcdistrict.com/modules/pr...r7506-7430.jpg

I tried every shitty Dr Beats BS side by side with the MDR 7506's and that Dr Dre shit doesn't even come close to the sound quality of the Sony's.
Yes the beats produce extreme lows, but the mids and highs are so shitty compared to the Sony's.

Google: high end recording studios, they mostly use Sennheiser, AKG and Sony. I never see beats in quality recording studios.

Its all marketing: kids will buy anything a celeb puts their name on. HP is making a mint from this hip hop generation.
Bottom line is... this new mp3 generation is quit stupid.
We went from high quality CD 48khz sampling rates, down to compressed 33.3khz shit to be able to store hundreds of mp3's on a disc or device.
That sacrificed sound quality by squeezing out the clear highs and lush mids, also producing muddy lows.

Decline of quality.

If you really wanted powerful yet high quality sound, stick with high end Sony headphones.

In my, and most audio reviewers' opinions, Bowers & Wilkins are the ones to beat.

your buying the name :2 cents: sure he would say that. when he's putting beats 2 gether bet it's not those he's using

Who the fuck can tell the differance with those tiny in-ear buds? Besides, that shit has gotta fuck up your inner ear or somethin'....I always go 'over the ear' and find the high priced headphones too 'bass heavy'. Fine for thick-skulled mofos who wanna jam out to rap and shit (the same idiots who when they drive by you can FEEL the bass - BVVVVT! BVVVVVT! - nearly breaking the glass in their Hyundais) but for anyone halfway normal that's just too much bass. Besides, that much bass will give you headaches and loosen your teeth. LOL

Also, most people are not audiophiles so I doubt they could even tell the differance between $300 headphones and $50 headphones.

I will bet you money Dre is using Sennhieser or Sony, bro. NOTHING ELSE.

He is smart man, a business man.
In the studio he is using what is required for crucial mix down.
A real studio engineer would never allow Dre to use that garbage his name is on.
No way we would we risk sound quality to be cool sporting trendy headphones. LOL

We compare drivers side by side extensively, and beats do not have the quality highs and mids.
Not even the $400 pair, which sound the worst. Too much lows/bass that over powers the sweet highs and lush mids that can not be adjusted even with EQing.
It is the voicing of the coil and driver, Beats simply suck for recording in the studio.

Seriously, with the SONY MDR 7506 headphones you can actually hear the bass drum pedal kicker strike the plastic drum head clearly separated in the mix.
It is a night and day difference, go to guitar center and compare them side by side with a WAV file recording. You will thank me later.

I use those with my ENG setup and when shooting DSLR video with wireless mics.

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.
