Beats Headphones

"Yes, they sound good, but are they worth 350$? Yes and no. These cans deliver superior clarity to most cans without going into audiophile territory. Bass is the obvious strong point here and due to this it squeezes out the treble to a degree and the midrange almost completely. A fiddle with the EQ remedies this to a great degree though. This being said, you might doubt that these anywhere near awesome but this isn't true. They sound amazing, especially for someone upgrading from stock buds or Skullcandy's (ugh). These cans are very aggressive and present a very forward image for the listener. This is the main reason they're good for portable because this image can get tiring over longer periods of time. The main reason these sound so good is due to the internal digital amplifier in the left earcup. This enhances the little details that would otherwise be lost when listening to your music. It should be noted that a listener should encode their MP3s at at least 320kbps if not lossless for these cans will not forgive a shoddy recording. By revealing everything, you should make sure there is enough to work with. Definitely buy if you have some sort of disposable income, otherwise start saving now.

Pros:
• Great forward presentation
• Nice deep bass
• Good clarity
Cons:
• Bass can overwhelm mids and highs
• Better audiophile sound for less money, but not portable"
