Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Great sound, horrible fit
I bought these headphones for use on a daily basis while at work. I work a typical 8-5 desk job, and I listen to music throughout most of the day while sitting at my desk. Pros: First off, these headphones sound fantastic. I have owned a set of the original Beats Studios since 2008 and these headphones have a much cleaner sound. The music is very crisp and really makes you feel like you are getting your moneys worth ($300). The headphones are also very sturdy and feel well made. They have a cool metal look and are aesthetically pleasing. I received many comments about how "cool" my new headphones were. Unlike the older Beats, these headphones will play music whether they have a battery or not. They do sound significantly better with a battery in them and the noise cancellation turned on, but they do work without a battery. Cons: These headphones are extremely uncomfortable. I have a big head (wear a size 7 3/4 fitted hat) and the headphones really squeezed my head tight. They are MUCH heavier than my old Beat Studios, and I have always thought that my Beats were heavy to begin with. After wearing for 2-3 hours at a time, I have to take the headphones off to give my head a break. It felt like you have a 2 pound weight just sitting on top of your head, which may not sound heavy, but after having them on for a long period of time, your head will become very fatigued. The earphones are also a very tight fit. They do not fit comfortably around my ears. There is a very nice leather padding on the earphones, but the inside is a hard plastic. Overall: I bought these headphones at the beginning of November and returned them in mid December. The sound is fantastic, and I really believe they have a much cleaner sound than Beats headphones will offer (I have owned a pair for 5+ years). However, these headphones were extremely uncomfortable, and I felt it was not worth keeping something that was so uncomfortable considering they were $300. If you have a smaller head, these headphones will probably be great for you, but, someone with a larger skull might run into the same problems that I did.

Good headphones but over priced
A good headphones with very good sound qualities. I like the carrying case to keep it safe while traveling. However, it is expense and would like to see it priced at least $100 or more cheaper. They are a little heavy as well.
