Beats by Dr. Dre Beats Pro Headphones - Full Review

[@lg_95]

How high were you while recording this?

[@angelaguilar9639]

LMAO!!!

[@lg_95]

***** Shut the fuck up.

[@ModSoFenGliScH]

i was thinking the same hahah

[@BluartStack]

Haha I was like wut? Until he started having trouble plugging the headphones in.

[@jasonrothfeld]

Too heavy though for me but they sound amazing

[@tristan.v7868]

They sound shite, you obviously haven't used and good headphones the bass is do overly heavy that it drowns out the highs and mids these headphones fucking suck

[@jasonrothfeld]

okay I dont care dude

[@owenkennedy8856]

Holy shit all the poor people are mad

[@thedancer888]

it really has nothing to do with being poor. if you can afford beats, you still shouldn't buy them. their audio quality is horrible. People like you are very annoying.

[@tristan.v7868]

;;;;

[@thedancer888]

Tristan Vincent I don't know about that, those aren't the best option either.

[@tristan.v7868]

[@thepetsaver]

Sennheisers aren't exactly cheap...

[@miceblue425]

That's true, sorry about that; I just realized one of them had a typo. Better sound quality, as in, being able to reproduce the given sounds accurately/more realistically with the same equipment. My experiences have coincided with most of the quantifiable measurements. The HD238 can reproduce the lower-frequencies much cleaner and more controlled than that of the Studio's and their midrange is not as recessed or quiet compared to that of the Studio's.

[@miceblue425]

They're results of audio measurements, including the Beats. So yes, it does concern the Beats. Based on these measurements, they are not an opinion on sound quality as they perform much better than the Studios with the same equipment, coinciding with my personal experiences with the two headphones.

[@kingalias]

I think along the same way that Chery does, especially because prices (in retail stores) usually have $.95-99 tagged onto the whole dollar amount. Most people round up b/c it's essentially the same.

[@ajasp26]

The compatible bose headphones have a better range but less of a bass receptor. Beats are great headphones and it honestly comes down to what type of person you are. The bose ones that are compatible to these are the noise silencer ones right? Correct me if i am wrong, but I have listen to both of them and own a pair of beats solo's and know that for me, an avid dubstep, hip-hop, rock, listener, beats were the better option. But bose are great to it just depends on the person really

[@starsky1012]

All three links have no direct links to anything concerning beats, just about high quality audio equipment. And that's your opinion on sound quality.

[@bfry1964]

Themusicofsmash, the difference of studio and pros are that pro have the option of rotating the earcup back so u can talk to friends,etc. Pros also how the option of plugging the cable in on either side, which is good when u and a friend r watching a movie on an ipad, he or she can plug them right in and watch with you. There are obviously differences in the design of both models. But I prefer for someone to buy pros over studios. Hope this helps.

[@Juliuserver]

Thank you for the review. Very thorough. My only question would be how is the noise cancelling? How well does it block out outside noise while you are listening to music? I have also read that the beats studios cancel outside noise better than the pros. Is that true? Thank you for your help.

[@0Imtheslime0]

You mention they are good for DJ use. I actually do use them for DJ atm, because its the only pair i have. They are ergonomically not so great for DJ. Too stiff to move them around your head too bulky to wear around your neck. The Bass is great but they cannot play loud enough until they start clipping. I am thinking of selling these and get Sennheiser HD-25 instead.

[@hungryguy1000]

either pros or mixrs, i have the detox pro, but havent tried the mixrs yet, go to a best buy and compare them, that'll help

[@360milliondollars]

Consider the Beyerdynamic headphones if you can afford it. They are much more comfortable. I hate that they do not fold away and the wire leading to the driver is on the outside. If you can afford them both you do get a different sound for what ever mood you are in for the hours of listening to music with heavy bass or mixing and tracking. I am in a somewhat quite location which mean I gravitate more toward the open ear headphone that i own than the closed back.

[@TrooperMohamed34]

will the iPod classic deliver enough power to run the pros perfectly and deliver a great sound like it should be?

[@FuroowHD]

Pro can't controll music or call on iphone. But studio and pro hd can... WHICH ONE IS BETTER? It's not worth i think to buy PRO for a little bit of better sound and no controll which have to be much more expensive

[@cs7980]

Any thinking of buying Beats. I recommend you to take a look at the ath m50.

[@Wilson17xy]

Great review man, heard you talked about iphone and ipod when you mentioned powersource. I have a galaxy s3 do you think it would work and give the same audio quality?

[@mrXsoloXdolo]

thanks for the video you answered my question with the durability because i have the studios and right around where they fold the plastic has chipped on both sides and even though the batteries weren't that big of a deal im glad to see these dont need batteries

[@trirjtrest6353]

yes there prices are extortionate but you pay for quality. I brought some from a family friend. they were offered for 120 but they didn't get many offers, so when I asked, she offered them to me for 25. now me being slightly naive brought them only to find out they were fake. some people have had them for 2 years and they still look the same from when they brought them. mine didn't last a month.

[@NGDOG9]

Beats can have really good Highs and Mids if you change the EQ on your ipod, right?

[@bamagymnast]

Hey Tone, I was wondering since the Pro's come with a Monster 3.5mm cable with a coil if you could buy a regular 3.5mm cable without the coil. I just wasn't sure because of the "locking" mechanism. Thanks! -Austin

[@cristianushooligan90]

So what's up with the buzz/static noise that you get from time to time. I got mine and after 2 days I started getting that problem. I returned them to the store and they gave me another new pair, and guess what. The same buzzing/ static noise came up again. It is really annoying, and it will happen randomly. I checked the connection of the cable and its fine. Two brand new pairs in a row with the same problem? I think there is a malfunction in the way Beats are made and fabricated.

[@NEKROCLAUS]

Monster's policy is great. As long as the damage isn't purposely done or the product isn't tampered with, you get a free new cable. I am a guitarist and I always use monster cables.

[@starsky1012]

If you're going to post a comment with a link, make a link that goes directly to the link, not the main page so that I have to search around. And what do you mean by better sound quality? Beats has its own way to listen to music and so does Sennheiser. These studies are is just a comparison. I have listen to many Sennheiser headphones growing up, trust me. Beats aren't better as Sennheiser isn't better than Beats, its just different.

[@jverheul2]

they use the power from the device it's connected to. So no they do not run on battery's. Only the studio's works on battery's

[@energeez]

you are correct to a point. You can test the accuracy of sound especially when dealing with distortion. Now the fact of whether you like a certain amount or type of distortion is completely subjective. I have also owned a lot of different headphones, and i can safely say your ears adjust to whatever sound you are listening to. In that perspective it is all subjective, but we can measure distortions and inaccuracies in frequencies.

[@IGhOztZI]

what would you recommend? I've heard sennheiser 598s HD are great. Not too keen on the colour of them though.

[@bullcityswag]

So I'm choosing between the pros and the MIXRS which ones are better????

[@ajguzman1703]

Thanks for the video you really made me change my mind on getting studios, how you reviewed the pros made me think I have to get these, you really had the details on them and keep up the good work

[@drumminandstuff93]

Before telling me that these are worth $399 tell me... What type of magnets are in these? What is the frequency response, and give me a full list of specs.

[@adnmvr]

What if you get two beatspro cables, attach one to each side, and plug each one into a different phone and play music on both? Does it explode?

[@TrooperMohamed34]

Can you make a comparison between the beats pro and Bose QC 15 please,I really need to know which is better.

[@SneekiCubone]

You have the new one, without the monster logo. The monster versions didnt have the mic/control cable

[@starsky1012]

You might not like it but other people do. And solo just sound like the pros and the studio in my opinion. Maybe the structure of the headphones could affect the quality like if it was over hear or on ear, but idk.

[@coolshariq]

The question is will it blend?

[@360milliondollars]

I have had my Beats Pro for a year and four months. They are well burned in and mellowed out. These headphones are definitely not in the monitor speaker quality type of headphone. The Beyerdynamic T90 headphones; which in my opinion, hits it right and the open design allow them to breath so that you will not hear the unwanted reverb like in closed back headphones. It also has a lower frequency response for good bass response, mid range awesome, and highs are clear. the cost almost 300 more.

[@YungBoyMonsta]

Hey UncleTone thanks for making this vid. I was goin to get other headfones but after watching this vid it completely changed my mind. Thank You!

[@guitardanne951]

Hello! I'm a guy who listen to a lot of different music genres but my favorite genre is metal. A LOT of heavy shit so to speak. Though, I have heard that all of the beats headphones have A LOT of bass and my friends sais that the monster beats by dre are mostly for rap and r&b music. The thing is that I want a pair of god headphones so bad and the pros seems really god:) what are your suggestion for me?

[@armani722]

Depend on what you get, some of their high-end stuff looks pretty badass. It's just not the same designer feel as beats, but something more tech-like.

[@930524jc01]

How will they work for gaming and music at the same time ?

[@RedaNGRP]

Wich one is better? Studio beats or Pro beats?

[@realthundercorn]

Great review! Thank u very much for an well spoken in-depth review of the pro beats.

[@nathanielscott93]

These headphones are amazing just like he said I can vouch for the instrument separation that he was talking about

[@Garrett_Pitts]

@uncletone99 Which do you prefer, beats pro's, beats studios, or beats solo's?

[@5314hamza]

Does it hurt your ears or head when you wear the PRO's with your glasses on? becauze i wear glasses all the time so i really need an answer

[@insiklee9896]

Whats the difference between the real vs fake?

[@GoldbergDaBoss]

if these are you favorite pair so far than you should get V-MODA Crossfade LP. They have better sound quality and are supper comfortable. Also they are only $200

[@potatoheadhaoy]

Well actually... 1, The bass of the Beats is muddy and loud, which makes it quite overpowering. It's actually a lot like how the crossfade LP's lows sound. 2, The mids and highs are..."disappointing" compared to other headphones like the M50 which, if EQed, gives you a good lot of bass; It's the kind that doesn't mess with the highs and mids.

[@JakeCarstensMusic]

Hello sir, I have a question for ya. I have a 2nd (or maybe 3rd) generation 16 gig ipod touch. Do you think that they will have enough power for the headphones? Or do you just reccomend just brand new large devices? Please respond.

[@IGhOztZI]

I'm thinking of getting dre beats pro sometime soon. PLEASE can someone explain to me why black cost £100-£150 more than the white version? I find it bizzare

[@kennyho118]

Which one is better the solo one or the beat pro??

[@mk_lzy]

In the review he said they are around 1 pound as he didn't weight them.It would be around 400g (0.4kg). Hope it helped!

[@xAS18x]

im gonna take your word, so can you please tell... overall what is better, the bose qc 3 or the dr.dre pro plz help out with this thank you.

[@captainobvious49]

what happens when you have two cables plugged in and you play two different songs at the same time?

[@PwnMaster881]

I wanted a good Pro review because I'm looking between studio and pro reviews and it looks like I got a battle. Thank you, Tone, for adding the Studio in.

[@gearfighter64]

What exactly did the beats pros come with? Any carrying case or anything?

[@racherIII]

Monster sadly doesn't sell any. Your forced to go on Ebay or some site like that.

[@TheShaw23]

@uncletone99 why?????what's wrong????don't you like Beats anymore??? If you can please do it......or please tell me if i should go for the Studio's or the Mixr's ?

[@freak123h]

I actually tested and tried these out in Media World store, and i gotta say, they are VERY comfortable, most heaphones will wobble when you hod them by one side and and give them a slight shake, not these, these hold in place solidly. I am getting a pair of these myslef hopefully soon :)

[@thijsz]

Is it possible to use the beats pro wire in the studio, because i like the pro wire a lot more and i am not sure if it will fit in the studio

[@TheMattie4ever]

shouldnt you tell them its an dj headphone and you can turn em like no other beats headphones?

[@darkknight7356]

hi >> thanks for your Review dude . is it Fit the Ps3 ?

[@tankdathomie]

I was actually gonna buy the Solo HD headphones. I previewed them and they really weren't great as people say. So I went over and checked out the Sennheiser HD 280 pro, and they are awesome. Only $99. I think the Beats by Dre are just for style. My opinion tho.

[@itachi1742]

QC15's are better. The active noice isolation of the QC's are MUCH better than the passive isolation of the pro's. However, I think the pro's have a more balanced clean sound. the QC's are kind of muddy.

[@jpbertschi]

Are they good for listening to movies?

[@theskyisfaling]

do u have review on the bose and the soul headphones? do u have a review on them?

[@Anxiouscreeper]

Maybe there is a reason they don't sell. That reason being that they are OPEN headphones that need an AMP. Kids buying headphones want easy to drive headphones that look nice and have a lot of bass. Beats meets all those criteria. In addition, the Beats Pros are not bad sounding at all. They are just overpriced by a decent amount, which for some will be made up for by the build quality, which is very good. If you don't believe me, look at the measurements at Innerfidelity.

[@realTRAPsht1]

I'd say there worth a good $250-$300 for sound quality and the other $100-$150 is for the high quality aluminium frame and high quality leather and other features these headphones offer. I do own these headphones and did make a video on them. I think they're great for all types of music but even better for heavy bass music. These headphones really shine bright if you have a nice sound card where you can tweak everything. It's kinda like buying a Mercedes, you get a nicer look and such.

[@averoog]

do they sound good with alternative music?

[@aaaaaaaa3aaaaaa]

Paying for the name? Don't know if you people haven't noticed, but you pay for the name of everything. The Sennheiser HD 800's cost around £1500 but the production value of those headphones probably only come up to about £300. So now when I see a pair of headphones that are being compared to the high end studio headphones, and only for £400?? I think you've got the best deal.

[@starsky1012]

You said you wouldn't waste your "leisure" time on me but what are you doing now? I have Dr Dre beats and they sound amazing. The reason why some people don't detect the differences between regular headphones and beats is that if you play certain frequencies found commonly in metal music loud in the beginning, you lose that good quality. Some idiots aren't careful. If there are better headphones than beats, tell me one that is more widely acclaimed and it is maybe the best visual headphones.

[@justintarnecki2476]

I just got my beats be dre pros and I honestly love them I do not regret buying them :) so yeah they are worth $400

[@zechariahhite742]

Do you still have the headphones ???

[@CxC2007]

Beats sound great, as Bose, also, mainly the quality depends on the file compression. Flac sounds much better than MP3, but is 4 time the size.

[@SammyV93]

I don't really agree on the costumer service part.. I broke the cable of my studios and send monster a mail, they never replied... But either way their products are so great, getting me on of these next week!

[@StrettyHS313]

Would a Samsung Galaxy SII power those beats well enough??

[@RockerzEmoz]

What about the Sennheisers, AKG, Bowers and Wilkins? your not paying for the brand and design, you get that for free

[@FaithfulGHify]

hmm have you ever been in the studio from dr dre i dont think so actually he used ath-m50 in the studio and btw will.i.am uses beatspro headphones in the studio david quetta uses his mixr headphones in the mix and lots of other artists use beats just because they like to been seen so guys like are wow man he uses beats by dre i gotta have this headphones i use beats studio for on the go i use my ath-m50 when i mix music i dont post but its just for fun maybe i will one post one of my vids

[@cruisetan95]

@legoandstuff100 But @uncletone said that the quality of the song change when he use it on Ipod Nano. Ipod Shuffle battery life is half less than Nano, does Beats Pro really works just fine on Ipod Shuffle?

[@spader111click]

If you are considering spending as much money as you are about to I would sugest you look into some other headphones ,not to downgrade beats, but I would say you should invest in some bose or audiotechnicas, and to tell you the truth unless you are looking for monitors you should consider finding some other headphones with a lower price. "Music is art but you can enjoy it eitherways" ~Martin Janda

[@exguan7]

How did you bring them back ? Will they do refunds or just swaps ?

[@TheDrOfEpicness]

Im having a bit of a problem i also have beats studios and i was just wondering for audio usage and video making etc which would be better ??

[@zittertje]

Do the letters in top matter, because on the beatsbydre website the top has big letters and on the universal store the beats have small letters, there is no difference right? If so please respond.

[@ebenbor995]

my beats-pro head phone is messing up with me.it kind of breaks where 1 side plays and the other doesnt,what should i do...confused.

[@harobmx123]

if i am plugging them into my logitech computer speaker jack will that be enough power to supply these headphones?

[@damasac]

Will the sound be good on an iPad??? Please answer!

[@BMcKinnis99]

I'm only 13. Will these headphones be too big, or could I fit them on? My head isn't super big, but it's not small either, so could you please respond?

[@PirateKing1256]

What is the impedence of this thing? Their website don't even show the spec.s

[@brandonhuerta]

I'm getting my Beats Pro next month, can't wait!!!

[@Chadwillard55]

is it good for heavy metal

[@trappaboomin1000]

Definetely the best review I've seen!!

[@PrinceJohn514]

does it matter wat colour it is ?

[@JoLoui]

do they sound the same now?

[@justmyopinion3359]

Help please!! I have a question about this headphones; they sound well with all the genres?

[@360milliondollars]

I bought them and many other headphones. they are okay for listening to music. I would not consider them for studio use because after a long period of wearing them; they tend to pinch and hurt. also the deep bass really does not make these headphones a great use for tracking and mixing but they can be used for those applications. Just make sure that you have a EQ and a good amp to power them. Do not buy these for portable devices it really is not worth it for portable devices.

[@rishardsingh]

do these headphones leak in the music???????????

[@TheOkami1113]

Yes, of course. Like I've said: the Beats LOOK great! They LOOK like they are worth what you're buying. And they realize that almost all of their consumers will not be concerned if their $400 may, or may not, be worth dropping (usually) several days' worth of work on. I simply hate status items.

[@TrooperMohamed34]

Witch is better the pro or the mixr

[@TNMUSlC]

Wll the Iphone 3Gs will give it the beast quality for That headphone?

[@lsd2995]

is there a mute button on them like on the studios?
