Beats Headphones how good are they and are they worth the money? Any advice?

[damien010685]

Beats are just a fashion/image thing I think personally.

Oooh look at him, he got beats! He's coo and 'ardl!

I see more people wearing them round their neck than on their ears!!

There are much worse headphones than beats, but for the money you can do so much better.

Would rather have these bad boys for £130.



Shure 840's

Cheers fellas, thanks for the great feedback. And yes I agree with S-l-i-x come to think of it, you do see more people with them around their neck. The main reason why I am interested in them was because there seems to be a sale on the Beats website... not because I'm rolling in it (which I'm not  ) haha. Take a look: http://www.beatsheadphonesmonster.co.uk/monster-beats-pro-headphones-performance-professional-white-gray-p-80.html

They seem like good value for money at £85.28 reduced from £233.73 but perhaps not - But still a saving of 64% (Apparently! )

Shure seem to get decent reviews, I'll have to see if they have any in the £80 zone.

Thanks again lads

I may buy a pair at that price!

[damien010685]

Wow that is a good deal like defo worth at that price

Short answer no

slightly longer answer, they are good headphones well marketed but there are much much better headphone out there that the shure's for example.

unfortunately beats are one of these products that are popular due to marketing and product placement not because the product is anygood, at the end of the day you'll get a half decent sound from them but it's not going to be spectacular and lets face it if you're plugging them into an ipod then sound quality probably isn't paramount to you in the first place.

Use them for offshore when watching movies etc have had a few sets over the years like seinheiser etc and I actually like my beats I diddnt buy them so i can't say to much about them but for 80 quid they are not bad better than the sony ones I used previous

Steer clear, they are rubbish. Too bassy & poorly made.

I work for a big electronics company and the amount we get back is unreal. Usually one speaker not working, or distorted sound. Or cables that come out of the earphone.

Look at 'shure' headphones for the same price. Loads better. I have a mate who is into music making/sound editing and he wouldnt touch anything else.

i have a set of shure earphones and they produce a great sound... apparently a lot of drummers use them

Shure or Seiheisser FTW.
