Rock out with these Beats Beats Studio 900-00078-01 headphones that feature adaptive noise cancelling to filter out ambient sound. Leatherette ear cushions and a flexible design ensure a comfortable fit.

Very Poor Audio Fidelity

How Often Used:Less than once a week
ALL this (and from what I've found since this purchase, the rest of their line) "Dre" headphone does is boost the low end (bass) at the expense of the mids and highs. Any audiophile who wants to hear music the way the musicians played it, will be sorely disappointed. Any subtleties are lost in these ugly, large ear cans. You can get far better quality sound, quality construction, and most importantly, value by purchasing something from Sennheiser, Audio Technica, Sony, or other real audio experts. And, here's the thing. Usually less than HALF the price of "Dre" headphones.
I gave this kludge to my nephew, who clearly only cared about loud bass blasting his ears, and picked up a set of Sennheiser RS120 wireless headphones. In EVERY measurable way they were superior. One quarter the price, crisp PERFECT sound, long range, and excellent construction. Seriously, the "Dre" headphones cost $300 and the Sennheisers cost $80. $300 is ALL marketing hype. It's not a surprise to learn that Monster, the home of the $150 HDMI cable, were the ones to create the "Beats by dre" line of overpriced, poor sounding headphones.
What's great about it: Have To Admire Their Advertising Ability
What's not so great: Muddy Midrange And Highs
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Canon EF 70~300mm f/4~5.6 IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens: If you're looking for a lens that gets you close to the action, this versatile telephoto zoom lens provides a longer reach for sports, weddings and events, nature photography and more. It's equipped with an image stabilizer, so you can create sharp photos and video while using slower shutter speeds. And when you're not shooting, the zoom lock button lets you keep the lens securely fixed in place.

If you're not into spending thousands on Canon L lenses, this is a great alternative. Focusing is fast and accurate. The Image Stabilization is top notch. 2 modes are available, one being excellent for panning with a moving subject. This lens is terrific for wildlife, landscapes, and even the occasional moon picture. It's not light- get yourself a good, solid tripod with smooth movement.
What's great about it: quiet USM motor.
What's not so great: Heavy, needs a sturdy tripod
I would recommend this to a friend!
