Beats By Dre +rep

[Casio]

I want to buy some Solo's and seeing as I will buy them on a monthly payment I was wondering if these are good for the price of them

i got the red ones for £119 a few months ago, so that's well pricey. even though littlewoods have a monthly plan, they add some extra £££ to the price to compensate for it. so no, they're not good for the price imo.

*waits for posts from others saying that you can get better headphones for cheaper, name drop a few others and say that the sound quality on the beats are poor*

edit; ohh...that is actually their rrp price...i'd personally wait for the sales lol. kinda contradicting myself somewhere but ahwell.

That is the price I will be paying £169.99, I think thats not to bad, it's about £30 more then the shops sale price, but I think it's worth it seeing as I am paying monthly.

[dirrty]

well if you're willing to pay that price then go right ahead. i think they're awesome tbf. sure, you can get other headphones that are better for the price, i love my beats so i couldn't give a **** lol. i'd check on argos, comet etc. as some of them do pay monthly/pay next year offers i think. they're £149 on argos, so it may be worth checking out if they do pay monthly.

Can someone explain the fuss over these headphones? As I've seen a few kids with them in college,

Tempted to buy, I've always bought Skullcandy just because of comfort and the sounds okay.

But whats the difference from my Skullcandy Lowrider ones, LOL

well, i personally think the best way to describe them is that they're the iPhones and superdry hoodies/jackets of the headphone market. so they're good for what they are/do, 'stylish' (hate that word, lol), comfortable but you can get better ones on the market for less.

Any recommendations? shown me mum and she said, I could have them ones, If I payed the £3.25 over the 52 weeks.

oh i don't know any 'better ones' (lol, i know). just that the majority of people who comment on my beats say that i can find ones better, and for less. posted a thread on ere a few months ago aswell and received the same responses.

[Jutnux]

Skullcandy is ****.

Get some Sennheiser ones.

[Casio]

Sennheiser is way to over rated, I have had many and they break, I have purchased the above beats, they arrive within 10 days. I will post a review on them when they arrive if you want to iBlueBox. I have also had the Dre Tours and they are very very good for a in-ear pair of headphones, well worth the £130 I paid. Unfortunately I broke them, was my own fault though :P

[Sharon]

Loads of Korean bands get customised ones I am very jealous, I REALLY want some but I'll keep dreaming.

Ah, thanks. I'm going to ask around college tomorrow. I think I might order the white ones tomorrow.

Get some Grados or AKGs.

Can you link me.

[N!ck]

Can you link me.

I don't really know any models, but a friend has AKG Acoustics K 271 and they're in your price range.

[Casio]

Had a look through some, I don't really like their style, don't get me wrong, probably amazing headphones. but just not me :)

[Recursion]

I honestly don't understand why anyone would spend £100 on some headphones that *look* good instead of spending it on headphones that *sound* good...

These do *sound* good as well as stylish

No, no they don't.

[Casio]

No, no they don't.

How do you know they do not sound good, unless you personally have them..

[Stephen!]

This works both ways.

You don't know that something is bad until you try something better.

That is true, personally to me, these sound great, but that is because I have no actually heard a better pair.

[Casio]

Received them today, and can say that they are very good for such small headphones, ill post more tomorrow.

[iBlueBox]

Getting a set for christmas ;D

[Oleh]

Are these any good? I was considering buying a pair sometime.

[Casio]

They are very good, what sort of information do you want, ill provide it.

Is there a noticeable difference in sound quality between these and say, a pair of iPod earphone (I know there is, but is it significant.)

These cannot be compared to the iPod earphones as they is nothing to compare :P

Have you bought these yet? Do not buy these. Seriously. Buy the HD one's, because the Solo normal ones snap, just like mine after 2 months. Youtube it, loads of people have had it happened and Monster wont replace mine. The HD's are £20 more I believe but they have the glossy headband which stops it snapping.

Mine have broken already, blown the speakers.

:( It's such a shame because they look and sound so good, but the durability is pathetic. Did you get a refund from Monster? I couldn't find my serial number so they wouldn't accept mine.:rolleyes:

I called them, got a refund then I had to send back, so works out for me :)

They sound quite good.

[Robi]

No, no they don't.

But they actually do. I'm not saying "wow they sound the best ever" but they do sound good.

Really? Did you phone monster? I have everything, including the box minus one of the wires because one of them broke. Where did you buy yours from? I got mine from Best Buy.

[N!ck]

Science says they're not all that great (but you could do worse).

Dude's not even a real doctor.

OT: Dres are terrible, go with a proper music brand rather than the one which spends most of it's budget on marketing.

I did buy a pair, but broken and returned them, what brand do yourecommend.

Sennheiser are awesome. Go with these guys or with plantronics.

[Robi]

I have a pair of Sennheiser and I don't see what's so special?

[Casio]

But if you spend £149 ( dre prices ) on Sennheisers you WILL notice a difference.

This. If you spend £10 on sennheisers you can't expect to beat dre's at £150 no matter how bad value for money they are.

[Robi]

I spent £50 on my I think, quite some time ago though. Hmm, I still don't quite know wether to get the bigger dre beats when I get paid. HMV have 20% off all Dre Beats.

Do not spend all that money and get the Studios, I would now personally go for a different brand, after hearing different headphones to dres I was like wow there are better ones out there.

[Agnostic Bear]

I'm laughing furiously at everyone saying beats are good. I have tried them, along with many many headphones, and unless you're listening almost exclusively to music by dr. dre, you're in for disappointment.

Unless of course you don't know what good headphones sound like. Kind of like comparing aldi's own brand battenberg to Mr. Kipling, it just doesn't compare.

Back to Dota 2 with me.

[Robi]

That really doesn't make sense, just because Dr. Dre branded the headphones, your saying only HIS music sound good on them? You need your ears tested. I don't care what anyone says, they are good headphones. Just way overpriced.

I will not lie, for the price, they are terrible, if they were lowered £50 less, then maybe they will be worth it.

[Oleh]

Just bought a pair of tours and sennheiser cx300II off my mate. Both great pairs of earphones, by far the best earphones I've ever owned. Cost £20 in total. And yes, they are genuine.
