| Random X 05.03.2009 | Same here. Boosting bass by means of batteries is always a nono to me. But, I would be more than glad to be proven wrong by testing them. |
| Xavier Emanuels 05.03.2009 | I personally have my massive doubts about them being the best in the world |
| robert chanda 05.03.2009 | Met the guy who makes and sells these at a party this weekend. Made and distributed by Monster Cable, out of the Bay Area (thought Monster Park was to do with the Monster.com recruiting website? Nope, it was the expensive cable people - massive PR disaster!) Says there will be a "value" version out soon, price point more around $150. They are selling well although the loss of Circuit City hit them hard - losing 700 locations in a single day is tough. Still wouldn't. |
| Mora Romandia 05.03.2009 | Too expensive for a pair of headphones IMO, even if they are the best in the world. |
| Ryan Morales 05.03.2009 | They look fucking dope. I've always been dubious about noise canceling, but could be decent. I believe I'm going to have to look into buying a pair of these. Maybe even the ear's. I have mad respect for DrDre as a producer and I believe he would only put his name on the best shit. + The only reviews I've ever seen have been 'these are godlike'. There are downsides tho Downsides: - Can only be run with batteries - Fucking expensive ie not tops for DJing but prob good for production |
| Michaela Speech 05.03.2009 | Have any of you guys seen these or used these ? http://www.beatsbydre.com/#home I've been seeing them all over the internet and i thought about getting them but wanted to see what you guys all thought first |
| Roberto Viccione 08.08.2008 | ... um... djalexlaine... that's really not true at all. Any self-respecting producer is going to want to make sure his tracks are catchy with good sounds, effects, hooks, melodies, etc. etc. A Mixing engineer is going to make sure everything sounds good. Read the journal at www.mixerman.net (if it's still there) for a good example of this. And that's why they release club mixes and you have EQ in front of you. With most electronic music (which hip hop is) the sound does not get compromised for large venues. If the gear you're using is shit then yes, it will sound like shit. To add to this discussion, though, $450 for headphones is... well... extreme. I mean, Bose makes good audiophile gear , I guess, but for professional audio work you shouldn't be doing serious mixing/mastering in headphones anyway. I use my Sennheisers for DJing and music work, but only for scratch work, and reviewing. For serious work you need monitors. For DJing I never really saw the point of using studio monitors. You don't really need a clean, dry sound to get good at DJing. You need to hear the accentuated EQ's for your mixing cause that's how it's going to sound in a club. I'd say save the $250, get a pair of DJ headphones, and put the money toward either PA system, studio monitors, the EKS OTUS or, well, something more useful than a pair of headphones that need batteries. |
| Marcel Ei Gio 08.08.2008 | any self respecting producer's goal is to make his tracks sound great on a large system. you cant have it sound great in both a car and a club. so to make it sound good in a car, ipod, whatever, you compromise the sound in the club...which is stupid. |

However that doesn't mean that we don't go back and change things. 2. Transfer the song(s) to an ipod and test them with a pair of normal ipod earplugs and some other sound blaster in ear things we got. 3. I try it at my computer system at home. And this is usually where the difference is heard. Usually when i play the song in winamp (I'm on PC but we produce on mac) it sounds different. But when i play it in iTunes it sounds good, or how we intended it to sound. Thats more of a software thing than a hardware though. I play the songs with no eq on in either program. We don't have access to a million dollar studio so we just rely on our ears instead. And if it sounds good at our studio then it will probably sound good at your home stereo, in your ipod and in a club. Don't know about a concert but we aren't quite there yet As for the beats by dr.dre i just wonder how much he was into the development of these or if he just got a sum of money to put his name on it, cause thats usually how it works. Thats why i don't buy products endorsed by "celebrities". |
| Dj Gjaka 02.08.2008 | And once you have your Dr.Dre headphones you could kit yourself out with this: http://www.bodytonicmusic.com/news/2...justice-jcket/ |
| Xavier Emanuels 02.08.2008 | Theres also monitoring headphones, the pair i dj with at the moment are a pair of decent monitoring headphones. Testing it on many systems is still a given even with monitoring headphones and monitoring speakers, the more the merrier. |
| Jenny Pow 02.08.2008 | Yea well thats what they aim for at first, but then they sometimes will test it on other systesm to see how it sounds. |

Dont get me wrong if you had to use headphones that would most likely be the way to go. for thouse that dont know, normally when you get into serious studio production you would test your songs out on many different sound systems (studio system, good heaphones, crappy head phones, 2.1, 2.0, maybe a car) ect.. |
