Dr. Dre Beats Tour Headphones

Need opinions before purchasing for my DHD
Here is the one im looking at

Mod Edit: Moved per OP request.

£20 seems way too cheap for those headphones.

Those headphones retail for over $100 US dollars, there must be something wrong with this, if you decide to jump on it let us know how it went.

Decided to buy, hopefully i'll get my money back if theres something wrong. I bought with paypal so it should be ok.

Paypal will give the money back I have also email the seller to confirm if they are not fake and if they are in top condition.

Just a sidenote. I've noticed that the bass with SRS Wow or Dolby enabled is really loud when one uses a headphone with a strong bass output. I've a Shure SE500 (with a bass monitor) that I can't use with this setting. Because dr. Dre headphones are famous because of their powerful bass characterics I guess this will also be the case with these headphones.
(But then again, the whole community (at least 1 ) is still looking for a possibility to set the bass level for SRS and Dolby on the DHD. Now this isn't possible, unfortunately)

why dont you grab a nice almost neutral IEM, like jays D or Q-jays, apparantly the A's are not too bad either
i have the Q's very nice they respond very well to EQ changes for example flat EQ sounds balanced, bassey EQ sounds bassey ect... they sound very nice on my S9 and they were pretty good on my legend to. no idea about the DHD but id imagine they would still sound great.

The price is cheap, but not excessively so.
These are the first generation buds which you can pick up for about £35 nowadays. The current ones retail for about £110-120. I'm sure they're still good headphones though.
Just be sure they're not counterfeit. I read some silly stat somewhere that 80% of headphones and bluetooth headsets sold on ebay are counterfeit.

those are fake, i was interested in getting those too a while ago and DONT buy from ebay/amazon, the best place is from apple.com

I decided to buy a different pair of headphones from eBay for £19.00 with £2.00 delivery from a store which is based In Essex I also checked the feedback from customers bought from that seller and most customers were happy so I bought them as long as they are better than the original headphones and can handle the base with the SRS WOW feature ill be happy.

can you give the link please

got my earphones today. looked a bit iffy with the seal broken on the box, but all in box, and works amazingly with SRS surround sound. I would recommend them apart from them having to be pushed a bit into the ear not to stick out and fall out...

Hello everyone, i got mine today and they are indeed the real thing. The seal on my box was intact and the quality of the sound etc is really good.
Im amazed i didn't get scammed

Yep, I noticed the exact same thing with Klipsch Image S4's. With SRS the bass is really strong, but with Dolby it is just ridiculous

[Q] Suggetions for a good Headphone (Ear Phone)

Hi
I am looking for a good quality in ear headphone set with really good bass. And all with is good with 5.1 mode in our galaxy S... I am willing to spend around 50 - 100 Singapore $.... It should be in ear type
what do you guys recommend?

hi
Try to look for sennheiser cx200. Sound is very good. Price is good as well. Plus earbugs is in different sizes.

thanks for the suggestion ...

Are you in singapore? If so, try go over to plaza sing and look the stereo outlet.. they let you try out the different models, so you can choose the model you prefer.
Earphones are really dependent on personal taste, so I'd strongly suggest trying out before buying any, rather than depending on others to recommend.. even the high-end earphones get mixed reviews

I personaly use this model and im very happy with them . Try to find something from AKG for example K330. And they sound very goog , powerfull base.Sorry i cant post a link(new user).

over the ear headphones

does anyone use over the ear headphones with your fascinate. i would like to get some for work cuz ear buds start hurting after awhile and i think that over the ear would be better suited for long periods of time. anyone with any some input would be very helpful. i dont need anything fancy or expensive seeing that i am a auto tech, so they will get dirty. if there is one with a mic that works with our phones would be nice too.
thanks people

I've used some fairly large headphones without many problems. If you go high end you'll probably want a portable amp, but I don't think you're looking to spend major $.
Circumaural (covers the entire ear):
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD...JSQC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300344287&sr=8-1
Pretty comfy and won't break the bank.
Supra-aural (sits ontop of the ear):
http://www.amazon.com/Koss-PortaPro-Headphones-with-Case/dp/B00001P4ZH/ref=pd_cp_e_3
These may stay on your noggin' a little better than the previous model
http://www.amazon.com/Grado-iGrado-Headphones/dp/B000KN0YEY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1300344479&sr=8-5
getting a little pricey, but sound is great and they hang onto your ears/head pretty well. Comfy too.
edit: a great place to look for headphone reviews will be headroom (http://www.headphone.com/) you can sort by your price range and see what others have to say..
good luck!

All hype aside , these are some of the best headphones i have ever heard , and i have had the pleasure of working in some of the best studios in the country . I know that they just seem like something thats "in" right now , but dont let that fool you ... its so much more than that . Expensive? Yes. But if youre lucky you can find some on craigslist for around $100 . I have three pair , and one of the cables that comes with it has an inline mic .
Dont let the fad fool you , these things are legit .

you obviously have no real world experience ..not trying to be rude . but thats just insane . If you buy the Solos then youd be correct. The studios are another world entirely .

If I walked into a studio and noticed they were using these headphones I'd take my business else where.
I've had the pleasure of listening to some of the most high end headphones going -- to say these are some of the 'best' is just ridiculous.
You have your opinion, and I have mine.
edit: besides, the OP asked for lower end cheapy cans -- your $300 cans don't quite fit the bill here.

You're correct with the OP , i didnt see the nothing fancy or expensive , so my apologies there. and yes , everyone is entitled to their own opinion and style . However , i did say you could hop on craigslist in most areas and get them for considerably less .
In the end , i guess it comes down to taste and what your're doing .

http://www.amazon.com/RF-MAB2-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset/dp/tech-data/B002V5OYHC
I use this pair from Rocketfish. I bought them for like $70 to use for Call of Duty on my PS3, but are now using them for my phone. It's listed as $59.99 on amazon now.
They are the only bluetooth set that I've found that I'm able to use for calls and music and the buttons all work.
The battery life is pretty darn good... I get 10-12hrs of continuous playback on a full charge
The only downside in my opinion is comfort. It will obviously vary from person to person. My friend complains that they aren't very comfortable for long hours, but I've had no issue wearing them for hours and hours. They aren't OVER the head, it's behind, so, yes, they are not comfortable if ur gonna kick back on a couch or lie down somewhere. But for the price and functionality i think they're decent
I would also add that they are very durable... I use to throw them across the room, kick it across the floor, etc. during some of my modern warfare marathon sessions in bouts of frustration and they are A OKAY

Definitely came to the wrong forum to ask this question. Read up on head-fi.org, lots of good info can be found there. I bought my beats refurbished when monster had them for $99, they arent that great but they look awesome which is why I bought them.

It doesn't really have anything to do with taste, you're buying $300 headphones with similar frequency response to $70 headphones but with boosted bass because bass = cooool.

I suppose you think wal mart RCA cables and Monster cables sound the same too right ? You actually have to get them off the best buy display case before you can properly judge them . The bass isn't even boosted. The solos are. The better quality cables ensures the bass travels better and doesn't suffer signal loss ... and if you don't believe in that..you don't believe in science . Or you just have a beef. They are not about bass at all . That's what people assume about them .
And as far as freq response goes ... Walmart speakers have the "same" freq response as my Energy and Infinity home stereo .. they are just numbers that can be made to say whatever really . Kinda like contrast ratios on tvs. A Westinghouse can have a 2000000000:1 contrast ratio and still look like ass when compared to a a good TV.
In the end ... haters hate haha . Not upset with anyone. Sorry OP for the thread going the entire wrong direction.

Because I said RCA? Haha
Yes , you're correct ... I have no knowledge of audio equipment whatsoever.. I was trolling... come on man. Its literally what I do for a living ... I love this forum which is why I post here. But in the end , my "credibility" as an audio engineer is not going to affected by a mobile device forums opinion on the Monster Beats headphones haha. Like was said before . Its opinion really .

A decent pair for under $70 would be the Sony MDR-V6's http://www.google.com/products/cata...=X&ei=IHiHTcTqM8qWtwfe7-TMBA&ved=0CD8Q8wIwAg# I have set of these that I still use from time to time even though I have several more 'high end' pairs (Sennheiser / Audio Technica). The Sony's have a good sound and fit nice on my ears/head. Definately worth the money.

The mdr-v6s are great. The noise isolation is great. My only problem is I have had several pair and the right channel always dies. Had a buddy that's a dj and the same thing happened. Could be a fluke though. I still have a set now that I have used for a couple years with no problems at all.

OP, did you ever get yourself a set of headphones?

Dont take advice from someone who tells you anything monster sells is good.
If you can stretch your dollar a bit you can get these:
http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50S-Studio-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B000ULAP4U
They are superb headphones for the money.

So Monster isn't good? I have monster speaker cable, monster video cables and monster Digi cables, and I have to tell ya, Monster IS good. But like lucas said, its all opinion. Headphones are something that only a user can tell you if he/she likes it. A lot of people don't have the same ear and don't need to spend extra money. I was in the electonics industry for over 20 years, and like lucas said, you get what you pay for. My Monster power center also saved me from buying all my electronics again when I was hit with lightning 2 years ago.

[Q] Anyone has tried Beyerdynamic MMX-101iE?

Hello everyone,
I found this headset Bayerdynamic MMX 101 iE accidentally just a while ago.
If anyone has tried it, can you please write your review here?
Edit: Is the sound quality good? Microphone quality? Compatibily with Desire?
http://europe.beyerdynamic.com/shop/hah/headphones-and-headsets/sports-and-on-the-way/mmx-101.html
This has caught my eyes since a few day ago but I can not find any reviews at all.
So, any words for this headset will be very appriciated since I need one right now.
Edit: Sorry misstyping by Beyerdynamic , it should be Bayerdynamic

you couldn't find more expensive ones, could you?

Well...€99 still belongs to the middle class..there are still more with more expensive.
I think the price range between €70-€100 is the correct range for me, more than €100 is a bit too expensive.
Remember you get what you pay.
That type is competely new and there is still no real review available...perhaps I just have to wait for some time until the review is there.

more expensive

I have found several good ones above €100 but I am not planning to go that high.
It was launched during the musikmesse/music fair just a while ago so..it's kinda new and still without any convincing review.
I will have to wait until there are more review.

Hi Im fairly new to these forums but i can tell you that you cant go wrong with these. I bought these about a week ago and have been nothing short of stunned by the quality. They have great bass and really crisp clear midrange. I would say that these are better than the sennheisers and klipschs s2i that i have.
One thing to note is that make you play around with the earbuds as if you get them wrong they sound really flat and dull so make sure you get them to seal in your ears properly.

It is also a coincidence, yesterday I met some in train on the way home after work.
I asked if I can use it for a couple of minutes in the train, and he said yes.
My review within a few minutes:
1. sound quality is incredible for the price.
2. mic is also good.
3. unfortunately, no volume control or whatsoever except a button to pick up and hang up the call. (not really a big problem, not really in need of a mic and pick up button anyway).
4. metal housing for the ear pieces is awesome.
5. the cable looks extremely fragile to me. it is thin, not braided, etc.
(I am not sure of getting this headset because of this. This is the biggest downside. My current in-ear headphone (Klipsch Image S3) has just given up or lost its life just last night, the cable got broken again. The warranty is still there, but I don't want to claim it for the third time. I just prefer a new one instead of waiting weeks for claiming. It must be something wrong with how I store the headphone in my bag ).
6. Ear plug/bud don't fit my ears perfectly, I have tried on the one attached tho'. (It could be another problem)
I also found Philips SHO9560 (O'Neal stretch). It looks super robust but doesn't have good sound relatively compared to mmx-101i. Its look is also very appealing.
Now, I'm confused.

Way too expensive for me.
For the same price (or cheaper) I would get headphones/earphones from already proven company: Sennheiser.

Update:
Phillips SHO9560 sounds teribble.
MMX101ie doesn't really fit my ear...it comes off often (unless I get the individual package, but it is too expensive)...I don't wanna get an in-ear anymore...getting something which fits my ear is just a matter of luck...
No AKG products fits my huge head size (honest), I like the sound of AKG K518 but it is too small for my head, tried also 430, 420, 520, etc....
This is official! I hate AKG! This company never thinks of people with huge head like me! It is discrimination!
Sony XD300, XD500...sounds dark (bass too strong, trebble not clear)
Dr. Dre Solo HD is too expensive for the quality I am getting.
I will look for some more...Sennheiser, Denon, Bose, etc....
What I hate is that Desire can not really pull Sennheiser PXC450 (I own one at home and I use it mostly during flights or at home)....volume gets too low even on max.
Sh*t it is not easy to find the correct one!

Late response!
I just found this thread after looking into the MMX101 iEs myself - what was your solution in the end? I really like these headphones and fortunately they fit my ears; unfortunately though, the mic and answer button did not work, so I'm having to send them back. Hopefully the replacements will work fine!
Did you settle on over-ear headphones in the end? Given your situation I would have recommended the Sony MDR-V500 - great headphones, excellent range, solid bass response which is punchy but doesn't overwhelm the mid-range, and amazingly cheap considering!
Hope you managed to get this sorted anyway.

I've got these. Nothing short of awesome. The sound quality at all levels is incredibly crisp and you don't use any equaliser settings/tweaks as the ear phones sort all that out for you. Had mine for two years now and need a new set and will definitely buy the same ones again.
Also get 3 pairs of different size buds depending on what suits your ear best.

Someone can confirm the microphone and remote of Beyerdynamic MMX-101 works with android?
Thanks

That does not depend on OS (Android, iOS, Windows). The "problem" is different layout of rings on the 3.5mm connector with different phone manufacturers ("microphone" and "ground" rings are swapped). It's natively compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Blackberry and HTC. If you want them to work correctly with Nokia, Sony, Samsung, Motorola, LG and other models you have to buy a separate adaptor.

I bought V-Moda M100 in the end.
It is expensive but worth every single penny I spent

BEST HEADPHONE you can BUY for NOTE 4 for just 15USD

Hello guys

So Why you should buy these ? there a a lot of headphones everywhere (Saturn, Mediamarkt etc...)
WHY ?
These are made of very good materials and the sound is just like Sennheiser or bose , but of course IT DOES NOT HAVE NOISE Challanceing....
I made a short video for you

I'm not question the headphones sound good, and especially at the price point. But as someone who actually owns a pair Sennheiser 600HD and has gone through many headphones, I have never came across any cheap headphones that sounded anywhere near them. There is a reason why Seenheiser give boners to audiophiles and cost two arms and leg to have a proper setup to enjoy them.
I haven't heard a Bose phones, but I put them with Beats and are more hype and way over prices for what you get.
If you want noise canceling, get a pair cans like Etymtic Research ER4S, ER4PT, but those are expensive. Just look for something that has flanges like them. It takes a bit to get use to something in your ear, but give it time, the quite is worth the wait the wait.

im using iPhone headphone ! best sound / bass / quality ! ever !

Could you please pm me the link where you bought it? I think posting the link here is forbidden.

I have a pair of these headphones. They sound really good. I paid more than 15USD for them. I would like to know where you got them that cheap?

Yeah i paid just 15USD.
By the reason that links are forbidden, i refer you to the video, I think it is said the video...
And yes the Xiamoi headphones are actually very nice especcialy for this price !
