Decent if in a bind

This cable is highly overpriced. The main reason I bought this cable was because I was in a bind and needed a temporary cable to get my subwoofer running while I awaited my main cables to arrive. At first the build quality seems sturdy, but I found out quickly that it is not very good at all at shielding from "noise". I would notice a slight, low-frequency hum that wasn't too audible, but I was able to detect it, especially when in close proximity. After some quick troubleshooting, I isolated to this cable. Replaced the cable with a much higher quality (and less expensive) interconnect and the hum is completely gone. I would not recommend this cable, not only based on the insanely high price tag for such a cable, but also for the poor performance and introduction of noise into the subwoofer.

Enjoy powerful audio with these Beats By Dr. Dre Beats Studio over-the-ear headphones that feature active noise-canceling technology that blocks out external sounds for crisp, clear audio. The foldable design allows for easy storage and carrying.

Not Audiophile quality, but still pretty good

How Often Used:Daily
These headphones are really pleasant to listen to. While they may not be "audiophile" quality, they do a great job for my tastes. I needed some nice sounding headphones that are portable, comfortable, and don't look like I borrowed them from a professional recording studio. Are they overpriced? Yes they are, but its Monster, what do you expect. Are there better headphones for the money? I'm sure there are but the looks and comfort of these, in my opinion, makes up for that.
Some people seem to put these down solely because they are made by Monster (don't blame them, especially with Monster's bogus HDMI scams) but I am wondering if those people have really listened to them and given them an honest shake? My music taste is primarily heavy metal (Lamb of God, All That Remains, Parkway Drive, Slipknot) that utilize a lot of double-bass drumming and deep bass riffs and these headphones handle it all with clarity and ease, giving a good full, rich sound that, surprisingly, doesn't drown out the mids and highs like some have claimed. With that being said, the highs could be a little better, but there is hope. Its called equalization on your music player (sorry if you use an iPhone or iPod as the default EQ settings are terrible) but if you can, and know what you are doing, tweaking the EQ makes a HUGE difference. Although, even on a "flat" EQ setting, these headphones still sound great for my musical tastes. I have listened to all kinds of music on these including classical, punk, rap, techno, Oldies, alternative, etc and they sound very good playing it all.
These are just my opinions but I am impressed with these. They are crisp and clear (to my ears) and I do not regret this purchase. And I would not consider these headphones as "noise cancelling" but rather very good at "noise isolating".
What's great about it: Sound, looks, portability
What's not so great: Price
I would recommend this to a friend!
