At that price, I would just get a Sennheiser HD650.

they're overpriced just becaused their "backed" by dr.dre they just got him to say that so they can advertise it better,you can get a lot better for half the price

It seems like they turn these things up in Best Buy to deafening sound to try to convince you that you are getting more sound for the money. But, I wasn't convinced at the demo and they fit odd and look stupid. Not too mention they don't fold for easy portability. So, these were a definite NO for me. I'll stick with my Sony Noise Canceling.

I'm guessing this Dr. Dre isn't an ear doctor?

I have them and love them. They are worth the $350

I agree with bcq. I have them and really enjoy them. They have great bass and clairty, the noise canceling works very well, and unlike what another poster said they do fold up and have a nice storage case to carry them in. I think $350 is the highest they are worth, but they are great none the less.

Uh...Monster (the cable company we all hate

) makes these headphones. You can do so much better for the money it's not even funny.

I agree, if you're going to spend that kind of money, go with some high-end Sennheisers. They make the best DJ headphones. I like these though...about $100 so if you lose a pair or break a pair, it's not so painful. They bump pretty good too. I DJ electronic music though so I don't know how they are for hip-hop, but I feel like they are pretty popular headphones for all genres:

For noise canceling headphones, no. Unless you want to spend 500 for the Sen 450.. But AT NC7 noise cancelling headphone would probably be better for 100 less.. Even Jude, the administrator on headfi gave then a pretty solid review.

not to my knowledge

I know nothing about good headphones, so I read reviews of the "Beats" and found that there are wayyyyy better earphones out there for the that same price. The "Beats" are just a decent pair of headphones that look cool and that sound good to the average person who doesn't know any better. From what I've read, Sennheiser and a few other brands are the ones that you should spend your money on

danthemano · 12-27-2008, 02:57 AM

If you are looking for something with good "bass", look at the Beyerdynamic DT-770. I have a pair of them, and these things pound. Go to Head-Fi.org, they will tell you they are "bass monsters".

No. The Beats are good sounding headphones. I know better, I have/had the 650/701/770/880/990/48/595/240/340/SA5000/MDR F1
?
I think I kown what good headphones sound like..Seems people just hate them cause it's Monster. I had very low expections coming in and left impressed for NOISE CANCELING headphones.

The Dre headphones sound GREAT! but.... I'd go with the HD650s too... The price of Dre's headphones are way too high...

djluis2k6 · 12-28-2008, 02:17 PM

While I do agree these are set at a pretty high price, I am very interested in these particularly. Plus, I got a friend that works at Best Buy that can get me a really great deal on them, so perhaps with the deal, they'll be more worth it.
