Beats - Pro Over-the-Ear Headphones - Black

People talk about buying Beats are a waste of money for the quality but I have to disagree (to some agree). I'm a music lover and testing Beats vs. Bose, it was a no brainer. The quality was better and I also love the way the cushion covers my entire ear. Since I listen to a lot o music, my ears may start to get uncomfortable after a couple of hours (but this happens to me with any pair of headphones & my ears are not the smallest peas in the pod, lol). The cost IS extremely high so it is worth it if you can afford it and/or is willing to splurge on yourself a little. Please keep in mind that I've owned the following Beats before: Wireless, Studio & Studio Wireless but the Pros are my favorites.

These pros are not only very good-looking, but durable and possess quality materials. A little heavier than most would like, however I've comfortably listened to entire albums and have enjoyed lengthy calls while wearing these beats pros. Satisfied with this purchase.

I bought these headphones in 2014 and still use them on a regular basis. When I initially used the headset they were a bit tight, but they now fit my head perfectly. They block out all of the noise and I think they sound amazing. People ask if they can listen to my Pros and, with an exception of one person, they have all loved them. The one person had a pair of Studios and she preferred them. I am not sure if some of these reviews are being written by people who actually own Pros or Beats in general??? My experience with these headphones has been beyond great, I would say the experience has been spectacular! The music sounds very crisp and clear. The bass is not over powering, but very much present. The cushions are well padded and rest easily on my head. Finally, after two years of usage they still work perfectly. I will also add that none of the other headphones that I have owned have lasted as long as these under normal usage. I say “normal usage” because I have seen videos online where they put these headphones through extreme testing. All I will say is this. If you are throwing your headphones from a bridge onto concrete, bending the headband just to see how far it can stretch before it snaps, dropping your headphones in water, or anything along those lines… Then you shouldn't waste your money on headphones in the first place, because by no means is any of that “normal wear and tear”. Overall, I am very satisfied and recommend the Pros!!! Also, I own Studios and Urbeats and highly recommend you look at them as well.

The Beats Pros are one of the best sounding headphones that I found on the market today. I tried multiple pairs of headphones shopping for around a month to include higher end offerings from Sennheiser, Bose, Monster and others. These were the best sounding and loudest of all in the category of around the ear headphones. There are a couple complaints I have. First, I was surprised to find out I had to get to the $400 price point to get the decent sound I was looking for. 10 years ago I could have had sound like this for around $150. My second gripe is the carrying case, which while it looks nice, it's soft and wouldn't protect against anything but dust. Portability becomes an issue (I feel there should be something to better protect a $400 product I'm shlepping around). Finally, the weight. These were also the heaviest headphones I came across. In summary, if you're picky about sound and volume, these are the best choice that I could find. You'll just have to deal with the shortcomings I've outlined above.

These headphones have an awesome sound. The highs and mids are great. The bass is a little too much at certain times, but it's not unbearable. They also look fantastic. They are made of metal and not plastic, so they are very durable. I have had Bose headphones for the last 10 years, but I wanted to try something a little different this time. While I was in Best Buy, I narrowed it down to 3 different pairs. The new Bose, Marshall, and Beats Pro. Marshall was the cheapest at $199.99, and the Bose and Beats were both $399.99. I went with the Beats Pro just to try something new, and I am completely satisfied. What made the deal even sweeter was that Best Buy had a price match guarantee on these, and I was able to get them for $249.99...yes, I said $249.99!!!!! Sweet deal.
