What's great about it: I like the red chord
What's not so great: The sound is terrible.
Ok so i bought this product waiting to be impressed by the sound, it was a completely opposite experience. The design of the headphones is very good. Aesthetically pleasing and really cool with the red chord that doesn't get tangled like most chords. However, the sound is so bad. You get bass if that's what you're wanting, but the headphones aren't that comfortable. I was very disappointed with this buy and had to return it within a couple days.

What's great about it: the box
What's not so great: and nothing else
My 12 year old daughter wanted a pair of these, so I went out and bought her a pair for her birthday. She has been overtaken by all the other kids at her school that own a pair, so I gave in. We listened to them and they are absolute trash. I'm really glad that Best Buy has a 30 day return policy, since I will be taking them back to the store today. These headphones cost $149.00 and my Bose IQ2 were $99.00. My headphones sound about 100 times better! Dre should stick to making music and leave the headphones up to companies who know what they're doing. I know it's not his fault - I'm still a huge fan.

What's great about it: the tangle free cord was a great product innovation
What's not so great: left ear stopped working
After getting advise to not purchase any Beats headphones due to durability issues, I got sucked in by hype and pretty packaging. These headphones lasted only 3 uses before the left ear blew out. Monster Turbine's are a much better way to go. My last pair lasted 2 years, and worked perfectly until I left them on an airplane.

What's great about it: Bestbuy warranty
What's not so great: silicone earbuds come off easily, one headphone completely died after 1 month of use
I received this item as a birthday gift towards the end of 2011. Knowing the price of the item I handled the headphones with great care. I always placed them in the case whenever I didn't use them. Within 2 months the silicon earbuds began coming off the headphones and staying lodged in my ear. Fortunately they had gotten me the extended Best Buy warranty (highly recommended). I was able to change them for a new pair. Only 1 month after receiving my new pair my left earbud went completely dead and I needed to get a new pair.
Needless to say I do not recommend this item.

What's great about it: Headphone sound, durability.
What's not so great: microphone sound - BAD
I love the way the headphones sound, feel in my ears, and seem like they are indestructible, with significant weight, and wire ribbons instead of more delicate round wires.
HOWEVER, this is a headset, and the microphone is just pathetic. No one I called could understand a word I said. So I left myself a voicemail, and found that the volume was so low I could barely hear myself, including times when the sound dropped out completely.
Monster really dropped the ball with these, especially at this price.
I had the same problem with a previous model, which I returned to get these, an upgrade.
Well, sadly, these are going back too, this time for a refund.
Very disappointed because I have many other Monster products that I like., and always saw them as a very high quality, even if a bit over priced, company.

The sound quality is not great and even with the earpiece adapters the headphones still would not stay in my ears. I also own a regular pair of on ear beats that are awesome so maybe it's just the design of these that is bad. I ended up returning these after only 3 days.

I bought two of these beats, one for myself and one for my wife. After 4 weeks of use the volume control stop working on the one my wife was using. We returned them for a new pair, which have been working for the last two weeks… Two weeks later, 6 weeks after purchase, my pair’s volume control stopped working. I have yet to return them. Though the sound quality is good, it’s not worth price. Plus, having both sets fail after 6 weeks time... Do not buy! There are not worth the money!

What's great about it: Nothing.Honestly
What's not so great: Everything. It's nothing but garbage. Honest
I love beats. I love the whole "b" logo. I have beats in my blood. Listening to music thru my Beats By Dr.Dre/Lady gaga heartbeats v2 is an honor, really. But then we come to these headphones. I bought a pair last night for $181.60 (2 year insurance + tax). If i had the option between skullcandy 10$ or these, its skull candy without a doubt. These are mainly for fashion, but if your an actual music lover, you can get another pair of beats such as the heartbeats or iBeats or the monster turbine, but these are horrible. Listening to music through my tours is like listening to music as your crying, just awful. I would recomend any other beats product except these. If you were to call me and ask for an honest review, i would sit with you for atleast 3 hours on the pro's and cons about these beats. And the sad thing is that i barely got them last night and i can already know that these are bad. Thankfully i kept my receipt. DO NOT BUY THESE. Really save your money and get any other pair of beats just avoid these. I do recomend the 2nd version of the lady gaga heartbeats, total they are only $160.05 with insurance for 2 years and tax included. I recomended the heart beats just incase you would like to buy them. Those heartbeats really are worth the money, not these tours.
This product has... some of the worst music production ever

What's great about it: The way they look and the sound quality. Good packaging and extras.
What's not so great: The fit, comfort, and durability.
These earbuds are great and all, I use them probably a total of 40min. a day for casual listening when walking or sitting down. Even though it comes with many pairs of ear tips, it still is uncomfortable and none of them will actually stick in your ear for a long period of time, every 3-5min. I adjust it and fumble with it in my ear. I recently just lost one of the ear tips too, the thing just fell off somewhere and I have no idea where I can buy replacements, now I'm stuck with one's that're even worse for my ear. I think they keep slipping out since the wire and base is so heavy. They're not worth the price, I recommend either buying a pair of cheap $10 Skullcandy's or the over ear Beats headphones. The bass and quality or almost or just as good as the one's in beats. I'm more of an earbud person but these buds have really been giving me trouble.

What's great about it: Sound quality, comfort when running, Noise cancellation
What's not so great: Cord can ware down easily if not taken care of
I am a student as well as a runner. I run very long distances and I have to say that these headphones are the best in-ear headphones I have ever purchased. I used to think that headphones were "just headphones" until they all kept breaking! (Apple iPhone, skullcandy, sony).. I could not for the life of me find a pair of headphones that had great sound quality and could stay in my ear while I ran or worked out.
I bought these headphones and they blew my mind. At first, I wasn't used to the feeling, but after a certain amount of time, they grew on me. You have to find the ear-bud that fits to your ear or else they will probably fall out. Nevertheless, these are amazing. The sound is incredible and the cord never tangles! ALL sound around you gets cancelled out and they don't move at all when I run. I use them everyday for about 5 hours and the sound quality is still amazing. The only thing I would say I don't like about these is that at times there is partial glitches in my right ear bud, I simply take it out of my ear and its usually an ear-bud folded the wrong way.. other than that, they are fantastic!! You won't be disappointed if you take care of them. I will never go back to a cheap pair of headphones after these.

They sound great when you are sitting down, but once you get moving they shift in your ears and cause discomfort. After changing the various ear plugs foams that came with the ear headphones they all do the same thing.

This is my second pair of Beats Ear Buds. I was excited to see that the latest model had an attachment to help keep the buds in my ear, but did not find it to be comfortable. I like the sound when I can keep them in my ear, but I have to be sitting very still to accomplish this.
I recommended coming out with an after market ear piece that can alleviate this issue.

What's great about it: Style and Size
What's not so great: Sound quality , build quality
Purchased these to replace the larger set I have for travel. After using them for a while I had to return them as the sound quality was not clear and the in ear cushions would sometimes cause the sound to be distorted.
I was expecting a much higher build quality and sound quality from a reputable name as such and the durability to be better. out of the box they sounded OK after a couple of hours they started to sound distorted as if the speaker was damaged.
Good product but more attention to detail is required for the price.
