Beats has finally upped their game here

I started out with the studio beats and was very pleased with them. My only complaint was that I also listen to a great deal of hard rock and metal, which the studios do not shine at all. The studios excel at very accurate, heavy, astonishing bass; so if rap and hip hop is the main genre you listen to the the studios are absolutely for you, you will LOVE them. I exchanged the studios for the executives and have to say I was incredibly impressed. Build quality is top shelf premier, comfort is ABOVE the studios believe it or not. Also, the sound quality is MUCH different than the studios even though they are shaped almost the exact same. These are much more fine tuned than the studios, they have much more balanced mids, clear sharp highs and treble, and still have a very punchy accurate bass (slightly toned down from the studios). I would say that quality of the actual sound reproduction is much higher in comparison with the studios, I would relate the executives to the older, more mature and refined brother where the studio is the younger brother interested in showing off and blowing your brain to bits with bass.
Something else I also want to add, the studios have HORRIFIC sound leak. There is absolutely no privacy when listening to your music. With the executives that problem is almost completely solved. The sound leak with these cans is completely absent except for very deep loud songs and only at 100% volume.
Unlike the studios, these also have an auto-turn off feature! Much appreciated! We all know how annoying it is to constantly switch batteries after forgetting to switch off the noise cancelling.
All in all, these headphones receive a 4.5 star rating from me, they're an excellent purchase, absolutely worth the money, and more comfortable than almost any other cans out there.
Plus, these look sweet as heck, super slick aluminum construction....what a beautiful pair of headphones!

A great pair of headphones But there's one setback

So I've had the Executives for about a week now. And I've gotta say, I am very impressed at what Beats could do this time around. They sound great, with no over powering bass, and you can actually hear the rest of the music (highs, treble, mids, etc.). They look amazing, and are the absolute most durable headphones that they have made yet. They're about 98% aluminum, and not the heaviest headphones, either. And along with the durability comes comfort. These are really comfortable, and the over ear design isolates a lot of noise.
So why did I give these headphones three stars? For one simple reason. The noise cancellation is absolutely horrible. There is a really, REALLY annoying hissing noise when you turn them on, and it will carry into the music as well. In fact, the only way I could seem to get rid of that noise was to turn them up on full volume. This was very disappointing to me, and it even made me return the headphones.
These are a great pair of headphones overall, but I don't recommend them because of that one thing. But if things like that don't bother you, than go ahead and pick them up.

These have some serious improvements from the studios. The power switch is better. The entire headset is of a much sturdier build, and overall more comfortable. Also these seem to be more sound insulated then the studios. Some of the downsides are that they still use batteries. These even seem to go through batteries faster than the studios. The weight can be a bit uncomfortable after long periods of use but in general the cushions are more than enough.

These headphones are very well made. They are very durable and easy to use. The sound is the best I've ever heard from any headphones. The price is high, but if you are willing to spend that much you will not be disappointed.

The battery life is shorter compared to the studios but that makes sense due to the noise cancelling feature now. I use them everyday at work and I have absolutely no complaints. the sound is excellent, good base, good highs, the mids are a okay but overall they sound pretty darn good. There is no wear fatigue they are extremely comfortable to wear even for extended periods of time. over all a fantastic set of headphones.

The Beats by Dr. Dre - Executive Over-the-Ear Headphones are awesome! The sound quality is incredible. Sounds are rich and clear and the base is smooth and not choppy or muffled. The trebles flow nicely and the overall experience is much better than most consumer grade headphones in the category.

Over a thirty minute period I tried over 12 earphones priced $300 and lower at the local Best Buy store. The Beats Executive has a very comfortable over-ear fit which helped to reduce surrounding noise. The quality of its sound reproduction was supeior to all other units that I tried. It is a large unit but folds very nicely into its carrying case. Therefore, it is easily carried on trips. I consider it to be an excellent value. Try it!

The sound quality is great, especially for lower tones. I listen to alot of hip-hop, and these headphones are awesome. They are very comfortable and have, I would say, good noise cancellation. The only negative thing i can say is that they require batteries and it is easy to forget to turn them off. They seem a little heavy as well, but that was not\is not an issue for me. They are expensive but they are worth it if you use your headphones often, and like good quality sound.
