Rock out with these Beats Beats Studio 900-00059-01 headphones that feature adaptive noise cancelling to filter out ambient sound. Leatherette ear cushions and a flexible design ensure a comfortable fit.

How Often Used:Daily
While these headphones sound pretty good for certain genres of music (rap & hip hop), they are lacking in so many categories. Primarily, the price for what you get is terrible. They are constructed of cheap plastic that is known to break over time, wires/cables that are garbage, and sound quality that is mediocre when compared to the likes of other brands for the same or considerably less money. They wont even advertise specifications on their website because they know they are under-engineered; this is particularly embarrassing... The ONLY info you can actually find anywhere on the internet is their frequency response which is not impressive at all.
Beats Studio($300) : 20hz - 20,000hz
V-moda LP2($200) : 5hz - 30,000hz
...wow. That explains why they don't advertise their specs.
Another category where Beats falls short is construction. Made almost entirely of cheap plastic, they are known to break over relatively short periods of time. I, as well as a few friends can attest to this. The Studios I purchased did not break on the outside, but were snap, crackling, and popping within a month. Annoying white noise is present as a result of their build-in amplifier and pointless noise-cancelling features that should NEVER be included in "Studio grade" headphones. While they have a decent warranty policy, companies such as bose and V-moda have far superior ones.
All in all, these headphones sound OK, but not anywhere close to where they should be for the price. This high price point is probably a consequence of the over-marketing/advertising they do. If your looking for style and don't care much about sound quality or durabilty, these headphones are for you..
I think thats the main demographic for Beats anyway - people with lots of money to spend on a fashion statement.
