AWESOME! Simply the best headphones around. Ive tried BOSE and various other brands. These are just unbelivable.

These are great but I have read that you can get the same speaker driver and sound in the new AIAIAI TMA-1 model that will cost £100 less and looks even cooler

these are awesome headphones, look sweet feel sweet on and really nice bass-y sound. my mum has bose (not sure about the model) and i prefer the beats by dr dre, unfortuantly these arent my first pair, i dropped my last pair and the side came off, because there not that durable, but monster cable was nice enough to give me a replacement free of charge

These headphones are big sellers, but only due to being over-hyped. The build quality is poor (cheap plastic which can easily snap, earpads eventually fall off, etc). The sound quality is okay, just gives you a perceived 'better' quality sound due to them being 'active' headphones. Monster is a company that sells average products with a pretty heavy price tag. For the money, BETTER is available elsewhere. Trust me!

i was disappointed with these monster beat headphones as i tried them in the apple store and the sound quality was rubbish compared to my hesh skull candy headphones that i got for £40 ..but something they did do really well was trap out the sound around me really well :)

you clearly know nothing, the quality of this product is far superior to skullcandy.

Excellent quality. They sound and look great. The noise reduction is very good especially on a long haul flight or using public transport. Nobody can hear my music except me, even when turned up loud. Comfortable to wear, obviously you have to adjust them a bit to suit you. I wouldn't advise going for a jog in them though because the wire is quite long and the headphones will move about to much on your head. They look great, very stylish and stand out from the crowd. I wouldnt wear these at night on a dark alley though.... Ive had mine for almost a year. Only downside is that they are battery powered so makesure you use some good long lasting batteries. In my opinion they are very expensive but you do have to shop around to find a good price. Bought these headphones exclusively from MonsterOutlet.co.uk

Get Sennheiser HD 555's or HD595's instead. Not only they are much cheaper they produce better more balanced sound as well.

I have tried many headphone this month as buy far i can state these are the best by far, not onlu do they look stunning but the sound quility is second to none. Pricey but you cant beat the sound quilty.

they are terrible not worth the money as they leak sound a lot and the sound levels are miniscule

After trying out various headphones, I tried these 'Beats' ones. Their main selling point is that they're really bassy. Well, that's great if you listen to music that requires extra bassy headphones, but I listen to prog rock and heavy metal. I found these headphones don't provide enough mid range. Great for R&B, Hip Hop, Pop and dance, but not necessarily for rock, jazz, classical or other types. Anyway, Go and buy Philip's Clear Sound headphones for £50, unbiased sound, comfortable and light, and cheap! I was really happy when I got them (especially after a few days of listening, the sound really came out!).

Loved the build quality but sound was not great compared to other headphones I've owned (all of which were cheaper)

Got these for a steel on Amazon. For the price I payed they are Great! Wonderful depth of sound and fantastic look (i have the white). They do sound best when used with an equaliser.
