Beats by Dr. Dre PowerBeats 3.5mm Connector In-ear Earphone with ControlTalk w/Sport Hook - Lebron James Black Beats by Dr. Dre PowerBeats 3.5mm Connector In-ear Earphone with ControlTalk w/Sport Hook - Lebron James Black

Pros: The packaging is nice

Cons: This is the 3rd set I have had, 100% of the time the mic fails , sometimes it's straight out of the box , sometimes mic fails after a couple weeks. Also sound quality is on par with a $29 pair of headphones, no way in the world these are worth $150

Pros: For this price? There are no pros.

I mean, they sounded decent, but only about as good as a pair of Sennheiser buds I got for ~$30. Only stay on about as well as those do too.

Cons: There is no way these are worth that $150 price tag (Much less the original $180)

Traditional Over-Hyped Monster.

Other Thoughts: A friend of mine wanted to sell me his, he bought them and was less than satisfied. So I demoed them for about 2 weeks and we both decided he should just see about sending them back. For the price these cost you could get 3+ pairs of Senn's that are just as good, if not better.

I feel these suffer from the same thing Monster products always do, Monster adds $50 to the tag, then in this case a "star" name adds another $60.

(Kinda like the study where they played audio through monster cables for audiophiles, then switched the monster cables out for coat hangers half way through. Audiophiles couldn't tell the difference.)

Pros: + Sound quality is amazing
+ Great noise isolation
+ Leather carrying case
+ 3.5mm extension cable
+ Extra ear pieces for larger and smaller ears.
+ Control Talk Remote to control music and phone calls
+ Malleable rubber wrap ear hooks

Cons: - Pricey
- Cheap Cable tie
- Control Talk really only works with iOS devices.

Other Thoughts: I like that these headphones are very capable of deep lows, no matter what your EQ settings are, and, with proper EQ adjustment, the highs and mids are crisp and clear. Noise isolation is very good, even while riding a bike.

I do not own any iOS devices (no iPods, iPads, ...), I only own an Android phone. The play/pause and skip track forward functions work, but all other functions do not work (including phone features; none of the Control Talk phone functions work on Android devices). I am using a Nexus One.

I wish that headphone manufactures would get with it and produce remotes that work with Android devices. It would be even better if somehow the remote could support both kinds of devices; maybe with some sort of app if necessary.

Pros: Great sound on Music and watching videos. You can move and they stay on your ear. You can sweat and not issue

Cons: Would like it to be 50 dollars cheaper

Pros: These look like they would be good, but I don't know. Why don't they list the frequency response on these? If it goes down low enough I am sure it would be fine but who knows. I can't purchase these without more technical information. So I am not going to waste my time and money.

Cons: No frequency response like Sony and others. No purchase.
