Hip Hop Chit Chat: Beats by DRE

I have a pair. Im really happy with the sound quality. I have had three pairs so far and I gotta say that they never fail to bring quality sound. They are great for dubstep and hiphop music. I have tried other brands that were more expensive and less expensive and these still have the bass and trebs I am looking for. I have the Solo's

They are good no doubt, but u can get just as good for a similiar price. They do handle the bass though particularly well.

Then what do you suggest?

Sennheiser headphones will shit on any "dre" beat headphone.

Beats are like any massive celeb spear headed product, it's about the name,. you're paying far more for a lower quality product, if you're willing to dump $300-$400 into headphones for that, you may as well jump to the 600-800 range and hit up Audeze's newest addition to the family.

That being said there are a lot of options when it comes to good quality headphones, I'd suggest checking out the Hi-Fi forums head phone buyers guide for the best in class headphones for each price range, and what they are specifically good at and lacking in.

The only reason beats handle bass as well as they do is they have a built in bass boost and amplifier which is why they take batteries on top of the power draw from the audio cable.

You can buy external amplifiers at the $100 range that will make $100-$150 head phones put Beats to fucking shame.

I know it's overpriced but I found a good deal on amazon of a legitimate re-seller of them who somehow found a way to sell at discount of like $75 so I took it.
