How Often Used:Daily

I was very excited to buy these based on reviews I read.....Then I actually used them and turned to disappointment almost immediately.

First thing I noticed was a constant hissing noise which after experimentation never goes away, it is a by-product of the noise cancelling. Even when music is playing it is noticceable if the volume is turned down, or when a song fades at end of track. Maybe Dr. Dre feels constant white noise is better than no noise???

Second thing, my songs sounded flat at home compared to the music I heard at the store on the Dr. Dre display. After a few days I realized anything with a lot of bass sounded good, but anything else sounded outright bad.

I thought something was wrong with the set i lucked out getting, until i read more reviews on-line, turns out the constant white noise and flat sounding music are "features" with Dr. Dre headphones.

Fortunately Best Buy took them back with no problem, and (after more research) I bought a much nicer set at the same store for the same money.

Funny thing, when I was doing the exchange, the employee helping me told me that Dr. Dre's get returned frequently for their "cool features", they also offered up that if I had kept them long enough i would have brought them back when they just flat out broke.

What's great about it: appearance

What's not so great: sound, constant hissing

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
