Beats Pro Over-Ear Headphone - Black

The construct good quality is solid-these will stand up to a couple of knocks and tosses on the couch, or on the floor, and they feel very sturdy. The huge padded headband attaches to adjustable brushed aluminum sides, ending with complete-size earcups that rotate upward for storage. Each and every earcup is rounded and padded in a leatherlike materials that is exceptionally cushy, and every single contains an input/output port. The ear cushions can be eliminated for washing.The Beats Pro uses a single red audio-cord cable with a secured connector that locks into spot on the bottom of every earcup and can be swapped to either side of the earcups. The unused port then becomes a second output for hooking up one more set of headphones and "daisy-chaining" the sound from the Pros to the second set of headphones for communal listening. We found daisy-chaining other headphones to the Beats Pro decreased the sound degree really a bit on the Pros themselves, but not to the point of significantly hindering efficiency. Two sound sources in addition to headphones can also be plugged into the Pros-1 into each and every earcup-if, for whatever purpose, the need to have to listen to two songs simultaneously comes up. The possibility for amateur mixing may match someplace in there, but most DJs use mixers with cue channels for this.The cable cord is thick and rubberized with a coiled area, providing some additional extension if you need to be an extra foot, or two, away from your music supply for a second. It does take some conditioning to get the headphones to stretch additional out, without having stopping brief, when you 1st get them out of the box, as the cable is initially coiled extremely tightly.Even with an adjustable headband, the Beats Pro are a tight fit on the ears and can result in some discomfort right after an hour or so of continuous use. It may not be the exact same for every person, but it was a problem for us at the time.There has been concern that some MP3 players can not energy these headphones. Not like the authentic Beats, the Pros are not battery-powered, which indicates the energy consumption involved in powering the large speakers is pretty high. Although the Pros will work just fine with the majority of the players we've utilized-iPod Touch, iPod Classic, Nano, Zune HD, and Inventive Zen: Vision M-the Shuffle wasn't as effective, as it did not output enough energy for the headphones and hampered the audibility.In use, the bass is booming no disappointments there. As we'd count on, the genres that truly shine are electronic (dub, drum and bass), dance, challenging rock, and hip-hop. Robust kick drums and wandering bass lines were usually prominent and delivered a proper thump. The lows are wonderful, the mids are clear, and the highs are crisp without having staying tinny.Other genres had been also extremely great for the most part, but neither as stellar, nor inspiring. Percussion and strings, or subgenres consisting of intricate and layered sound, weren't as nicely defined as we would like. It requires some tweaking on the user's aspect (through EQ settings on your player) to get the very best sound for some subtle music kinds.We had the best final results when turning the volume on our player up halfway. Anything higher and the bass tend to overpower the highs and mids, generating the all round sound muddled and messy. There is a reasonable quantity of sound isolation in heavily trafficked environments (the subway, for example). In a quiet workplace setting, nonetheless, the Pros do leak a bit of sound-a frequent complaint about earlier Beats headphones, but there is a definite improvement given that the Studios were introduced.Each and every earcup swivels up inside the headband, which cuts down their size in length, but they do not fold flat, so the travel pouch included was a bit of a disappointment. We would've preferred one thing comparable to the difficult-shell case included with the Beats Studio and Beats Solo.In addition to becoming sold in the two black and white versions, the Beats Pro come with a cleaning cloth (even though the headphones are essentially smudge-proof) and a threaded 1/4-inch gold-plated adapter-tethered to the 1.eight-meter cable to prevent getting lost.Despite the fact that the value is fairly high for the casual consumer, it is steady with how much expert DJs spend for headphones. At the identical time, these headphones possibly won't satisfy the challenging-core audiophiles who demand uncolored, accurate sound. For faithful, correct, organic tone in your headphones, these cans do not supply that kind of precise audio reproduction. What they do supply, nevertheless, is a massive volume of swagger. We see these headphones satisfying aspiring DJs or anyone with a great deal of spare cash who really enjoys blasting the wax out of their ears.Construction (Durability): In contrast to the Beats Studio, the Beats Pro are made for Club DJ use and for that reason are constructed to withstand the kind of abuse a mobile DJ would place them via. The frame of the headphones are made of solid aluminum that in no way bends or flexes. Not like some other headphones I have used, the Beat Pro nevertheless feels sturdy when the earcups are extended or flipped up. This is simply because even the extender piece is created of solid metal. Only time will tell if the electronics hold up but I can say with full certainty that the frames of the Beats Pro is virtually indestructible.Sound: In our overview of the Beats Studio we talked about that they delivered a really crisp sound that emphasized the high end of the music. On the other hand we located that Beats Pro puts extreme emphasis on the low finish of the sound spectrum. When it comes to booming base, the Pros cannot be beat. However the emphasis on the low end implies that on some songs you will discover that the mids and highs get drowned out and dont sound as clear or crisp as they do on the Beats Studios or other DJ headphones. Fortunately snares and kicks come through strong, which is a ought to when beat matching. I was capable to turn my mixer up to the maximum listenable volume with out the Beats Pro showing any indicators of sound degradation. We have heard that some smaller MP3 players are unable to properly power the Pro's, because they do not need batteries, as opposed to the Studios. We tested the Pro's on an iPhone as well as an older iRiver model and in the two circumstances the sound quality was excellent. It is probable that an iPod nano or shuffle could not be able to supply the correct juice to the Pros and as a result the sound high quality could endure.Attributes: The Monster Beats Pros come with a amount of capabilities targeted for the DJs. I was most impressed by the potential to connect the incorporated red patrially-coiled audio cable to either the proper or left side of the headphones. This may possibly sound trivial, but I discovered it quite beneficial since I personally have my Traktor X1 on the left of my turntable and for that reason was in a position to maintain the cord on my proper out of my way. The dual inputs can also be utilized for daisy chaining (you can attach one more set of headphones to the Beats Pro and a good friend can listen to your music) or even listening to two inputs at when (can't feel of any cause why you would want this). Also the inputs have the capacity to lock the audio cord into them so they do not fall out if they get pulled. Lastly, each earcup can be flipped up so that you can listen to the output while you mix in a new track.Comfort: The Beats Pro's solid aluminum building indicates that it weighs considerable far more than other headphones. I identified the Beats Pro to be significantly heavier than my Allen and Heath Xone XD:53 headphones. Also, although the earcups are made of padded leather, I discovered that the tightness of the headphones produced them somewhat uncomfortable following extended listening. DJs with larger heads (my hat size is 7 ¼) could discover that the Beats Pro squeezes their head as well tight. The round shape of the cups also implies that the headphones rest on your ears instead of above them. This helps isolate sound but ends up creating the Beats Pro less comfy in my opinion. In comparison the Beats Studios have earcups that fit over your head and are light and loose adequate that you forget you are wearing them.Conclusion: The Monster Beats Pro are a excellent selection for a skilled DJ seeking for a sturdy pair of headphones that are built for club use and deliver booming bass. They could also be a great choice for a non-expert user who is primarily interested in style and bass. However, if crisp highs or comfort are your main considerations, then you really should probably look at the Studios or yet another brand. At retail, you might also be able to find a similar sounding headphone at a decrease price, but if you are not on a spending budget and you worth type as nicely as strong building the Beats Pros can't be beat.

These headphones are by far the best i've ever had, and I've tried and bought many.I have the Bose Qc15's and I have to say, if you don't mind not having noise canceling, these beat pros blow them out of the water. Not saying that the beats don't have any noise isolation!At half volume, you won't hear a thing outside of these headphones unless someones screaming or something!

No more ugly distortions and loss of sound. And the best thing is, the bass never overpowers everything else.The highs on these headphones are unreal, and very defined, as well as the mids. No complaint for sound quality, as I believe that these headphones offer the BEST for what they're worth.Despite what other people say about the comfort of these headphones, these feel absolutely fine on me.

( Soon being 8 years! )The "springy" part of the cable also comes in handy so many times, because accept it or not, everyone yanks out the cord once in a while by mistake, and this spring prevents anything from going "SNAP!"I would recommend using these headphones on a laptop since they use a fair amount of energy to work, but if you have an iPhone 4 or iPod touch, they work fantastically!Which is another great feature of these headphones... NO BATTERIES! So no more having to spend that 5 dollars on batteries every week. It's basically saving you money in the long run if you decide for these headphones over the StudiosThe sound leakage is near to none since these headphones cover up and mould to your ears fully. I did a test with my brother last night, and I told him to put the volume up to half. I couldn't hear anything but some little noises in the background.I then tried the headphones on at half volume, and the music was BOOMING!Overall, i'm very impressed with these. They are amazing headphones no matter how you look at them.I've travelled to America, and Dubai with these things, and I can tell you now, they perform very well while going places.You'll find yourself using the alternate audio input jacks a lot, or at least I do, since i'm always changing seats, positions, and the pocket which my phone is in!If you want a well-rounded, stylish, amazing sounding, and durable headphone, then really, this is the right choice.

If anyone tells you that Beats By Dre aren't worth the money, they're lying. If you're just going to casually listen to music of course don't buy these there are far cheaper more suitable options for you such as the Solos. But if the money is available to you, don't hesitate in getting these. Realistic noise cancellation of Public transport, TV, Radio with the music full volume 10/10. Build quality, you can tell they're great just by the weight of them 9/10. Price, I wouldn't pay the full price for them so I got them while they were on offer 7/10

not as comfy as studios but better quality by far. ideal for less bass based music

Great bass, and build quality

Habe mir diesen KH ausgewählt, da ich Musik vom AV-Receiver aber auch vom Smartphone höre. Dazu kommen Bluray (Filme) und Spiele über die PS3. Habe diverse Szenarien ausprobiert und bin rundum zufrieden. Selbst bei Klassik hört man sehr feine hohe Töne verzerrungsfrei. Auch Filme in DD 5.1 bzw. DTS bringen mir noch neue Details. Auf dem Smartphone mit Power Amp kommt die Musik genial. Sicherlich gibt es noch bessere Kopfhörer aber dieser ist sicher in der oberen Liga.

I bought this as a. Prezzy for myself they come in a very expencive box but what do you do with a box build quaulity is good but the head band leather is very poor you can feel the metal straps through the leather and to me it feels poor it should have had some padding as for the sound very good but all I hope is I don't put my fingers through the head band
