Dr.Dre "Beats"

[ganon95]

Anyone have experience with this brand of headphones? is it good for music production?

[Buoy]

I suppose they're great if you want your tunes to end up having no bass

[UncleSqueezins]

They aren't that great. They aren't necessarily bad, but they aren't the "almighty headphones" that many people say they are.

[DonCarrera]

No.

Not really, if you are going to get a pair of headphones i suggest you buy something whit a flat Freq response, so that the sound you get wont sound more bassy then it really is.
Also: if you are going to spend THAT much money on a pair of headphones i suggest you buy something from Sennheisers HD series, everyone i know that works in audio production uses this type exclusively (not saying their better then any other pair, im only speaking from experience here).

Run away!

THEY SUCK

any questions?

I wouldn't buy any overpriced shit that has someone's name plastered on it. Kind of why I don't have a George Foreman grill (although I would own a pair of George Foreman headphones).

The George Foreman Grill is actually useful. Beats are not.

They're apparently really uncomfortable on your ears, and they colour sound terribly, so they're really not that good for music production.

If you don't want colored to shit sound get Stanton DJ Pro 3000's, seriously I get everything as it truly is.

I personally like the KRK studio headphones, they're a little bulky and the noise cancelling is permanent, but until that ringing stops I've got some more producing in me.

i think i might just have to pick a pair of those up next time im at walmart.

Those headphones are good if you only wan't to listen to music and if you don't really care if you have a tricked sound! Also, you pay 100$ for the headphones and 250$ for the brand! Seriously, you can have better/ same quality heaphones for 100$-150$

Depends on who you ask. I know some people who swear by Beats. Needless to say they're idiots, however, my point still stands.

Have to agree. One must be cautious when buying something endorsed by a celebrity. I've unfortunately had the liberty of owning the Solo's and the... shit... white ones? Not so great for the buck. Try Sennheiser; decent cost, and a pretty great sound.

Really bassy headphones = a very bass light mix.

I'd never use hi-fi equipment when I can help it - and I do consider those cans very much for the consumer market. Saying that I am currently using a Panasonic Hi Fi system as my monitors when I'm not going through my Sennheiser HD 25-1's.

depends on how well you know your equipment and how to compensate

True to an extent, but you're not going to bombard yourself for hours with extremely bassy audio. It'll be fatiguing. I think learning your equipment is only a factor in equipment with relatively flat frequency reproduction - say a 6 db range. However you'll see the beats has some crazy shit going on - the low end is upto 15 dB louder than 1 Khz. Bearing in mind that 6 dB is a doubling of power that's a huge difference!

There's all sorts of stupidly irregular resonances and I don't see how you could learn that. It's going to give you weird high end slurring and one note bass and all sorts of annoying stuff.

You shouldn't have to compensate for something if it's not supposed to be there. If you compensate your going to be adding more to the mix that might sound good on your set-up, but you could end up adding far to much and end up fucking up a mix to almost indicator levels.
