Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice looking pair of headphones and the sound quality is better and much more balanced than the original beats studio model. However, build quality is cheap for headphones that retail at $250. In 10 months the plastic has already cracked near the earcup. Contacted apple about it and they want to charge you $159 to repair it. Bought this model on sale for $150 at Best Buy so if you plan on buying one just know that you're going to be replacing it around a year. FYI my Sennheiser 380 pro is still in good condition and I bought it back in 2011.

Style was good. Noise cancelation was fine. Comfort and build quality were good. But the headphones have a faint hiss when on. Many other reviewers have commented on this problem. I didn't read the reviews until after the purchase and promptly returned the headphones. If your goal is music, they are not worth the price. If your goal is noise cancellation, they are not as good as the Bose 25.

There is a constant flutter noise in one ear. When I read online about it, it seems like almost everyone has this issue and company suggests to buy the wireless version to avoid the flutter noise in one ear! Why would I spend even more money for the wireless ones when I spent 300 on these and I can't even listen comfortably! Not to mention Best Buy doesn't offer the purchasable warranty through the store. Not a happy camper. No more beats for my household!

There are so much to choose from in this price range that blow these headphones out of the water. Very base heavy, which would be fine for club or rap, but that's not my thing. The overall sound is average, at best. Simply put, you're paying for the "B" on the side of the cans. The noise cancelling is pathetic. One, they don't cancel much. Two, their idea of noise cancelling is a constant and very audible hiss that kind of drowns out a minimal amount of background noise. They are comfortable to wear, but do your homework and get something worth that kind of money. Personally, I returned these and ended up getting some B&O (Bang & Olufsen H6 cans).

I have purchased several sets of Beats headphones. The sound quality is fantastic just like the rest of their models! The fit is somewhat narrow. Doesn't work as well on 'rounder' heads. This headset is the only set that have had an issue. They require charging with a micro USB. After 52 days (I checked the receipt) the integrated batteries now do not take a charge which means these headphones basically do not work. I do not recommend purchasing these headphones solely for this reason. Save your money and purchase the Pros instead!

These sound quite good as long as they will take a charge. Two weeks after purchase they would not take a charge. As Beats is now an Apple brand, Best Buy could not do an exchange, the headphones had to go back to Apple for repair. Best Buy did a great job of handling the repair. Two weeks later they were returned from repair and so far are working. For the price, I am extremely disappointed.

They had a good sound but don't like that they are 300 and not wireless

We returned the item because days after we ordered we purchased an I phone 7 well the 7 doesn't have a phone jack I was told it was only could connect via wireless prior to purchasing at Best Buy ..so the price we received the wired Beats for was a $150 less than the wireless beats (bummer) so we are saving for the Beats by Dr Dre wireless

My daughter likes the sound of the Beats and the ear button mute is a nice feature but we are very disappointed that you have to charge the beats. We had initially thought that was only for the noise cancelling feature, but for the headphones to work they must be charged. My son's lower price point beats sound equally good but don't require the charging.

Well you pay for the name. Honestly I found that these were no better than my Wickeds. I have a pair of JVC XX base ear buds that are also just as good as these BEATS. I listen to dubstep and even the really low wubs were the same as the two brands I mentioned above.

First off the design is nice. but the sound quality is of a hundred dollar headphone. i returned it in two days. not worth the money look else where if you like your money. if you don't like your money this is a good way to waste your money.

If you run hot forget it. Feels like wearing earmuffs all day. I wore them at work and couldn't wear them for long because they were too hot. They also need to keep a charge for the noise canceling technology. Which completely disables the headphones when they are not charged. It is a bit confusing also since they look identical to the wireless version. If you need to charge headphones every 8 hours you might as well get blue tooth headphones and benefit from it. The sounds was ok but just not worth the money for corded headphones. I have since returned them for wireless earbuds which are phenomenal and were half the price. Seems to me beats is just a trendy brand with good marketing and product placement. Nothing more....

Great packaging, very nice design and style. Worst sound quality i've ever heard. The highs and mids were ok, the bass was way overdriven. I expected way better for $300.

These headphones sound good if you love bass and don't mind having your head in a vice. I use my headphones when I work and I will wear them for up to a 6 hours a day. These headphones started to become uncomfortable after 45 minutes. The problem is the pressure applied on your ears via the band. I did enjoy the sound, if your looking for a set of headphones that delivers a full dynamic range of sound, these are not going to satisfy you. The problem is you are paying for a name not quality. I'd recommend save a few dollars a pair of JBL headphones or spend more and get some Bose, you'll get better build quality and sound.

Was expecting great things (thankfully I only paid $100, not the $399 original) but the capacitors on these things really seem to suck. I bought a pair of 50 Cents' headphones awhile back and they are durable, comfortable and can easily hand the Watts of my Roland TD-9, unlike the Beats, which clip and sputter once you get more than half volume. DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE FOR THESE. They are great if you're just listening to your iPod or what-have-you, for low power devices, no problems. Luckily everyone wants these plastic garbage headphones so I was able to quickly resell them for a handsome profit.

Price was right to test the noise cancellation on the flight, HOWEVER after 12 uses- 12 trips spread over 18 months headset died.

The Beats headphones were half off and I thought I had acquried a real steal of a price. I am amidst a securities training and needed peace and quiet at work but did not want to speak $300 on the Bose model. Unfortunately, the "noise cancelling" feature is just a ominent hiss. It's laughable how terribly ineffective this feature is. It ruins classical music. You are unable to hear nuances because of the non-stop hiss. I will be returning these. Spend the extra money and buy the Bose. The demonstration in the store was incredible!

I purchased these headphones for a Christmas gift for my husband. Bad choice. Everyone in my family has beats but this was the worse pair ever. I do not understand why you have to charge the headset if it's not truly wireless. What is the point. And if you leave the headset on you can't even use it because now the battery is dead. Do not purchase these thinking you can use them wireless. Save your money and go purchase the actual wireless pair. The only positive is they look nice.

These headphone sound great, maybe slightly too much bass. They cost way too much and probably are not worth the product.

Wore them once and the leather fell apart. not happy at all ! Will return and try another. Sounds good though
