Dr. Dre Beats Tour Headphones

Are these headphones worth £20+
Need opinions before purchasing for my DHD
Here is the one im looking at
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MONSTER-BEATS-DR-DRE-TOUR-IN-EAR-HEADPHONES-BNIB-/200546515089?pt=UK_AudioVisualElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_Headphones&hash=item2eb180f891
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

Skullcandy earphones

I'm planning to buy new earphones [not headphones], from some store in mumbai, or via flipkart...so want some recommendations...
Things I'm looking for:
microphone inbuilt, so i can use them for calls (like the stock one)
better sound quality, compared to stock
medium/good length of cord (not too short, so that i can keep the phone in my jeans pocket, and still listen to music comfortably)
good enough build quality, something that can handle day-to-day use (i mean, they shouldnt be too delicate)
i would prefer skullcandy, but people lately have been complimenting senheiser also, so i'm confused...
i can just google for these features, but here's where my problem starts...
i have an apple ipod 3rd gen...and this one doesnt have any buttons on the ipod for music and volume control, the controls are present on the earphones!!
tried searching at a lot of places, but cant find any decent earphones which would work on both my devices...
even searched for "adapters", but most of them dont work with skullcandy earphones, or arent available in india atm (cant import)...
anyhelp with either the earphones, or the ipod adapter, or both, would be appreciated...
budget for earphones = 700-1300 INR (1$=55INR, atm)

I use Sennheiser earphones and am extremely satisfied with them..
{
Things I'm looking for:
better sound quality, compared to stock - Check
medium/good length of cord (not too short, so that i can keep the phone in my jeans pocket, and still listen to music comfortably) - Check
good enough build quality, something that can handle day-to-day use (i mean, they shouldnt be too delicate) - The build quality is decent, i did have to go to service center to get them replaced once..
The only thing they did lack was the mic thing you mentioned..
Its also worth mentioning that their customer service and all is outstanding.
}
Thats my opinion of sennheiser , from what i've heard Skullkandy is still the leader in this field, but you seriously should consider sennheiser.
Also if you're looking for bass, give Beats a try..
For the volume control thing try-
Mx- 580..

For how much did you buy mx 580 for? With all accessories?
You got warranty for how long?
Typed on a small touchscreen

Uh, I have the mx 170 that cost INR 500 not the mx 580 which you can get for INR 1500-1800..
Warranty is for two years.

ITS been 2 weeks now since i got my skullCandy SMOIKIN' BUDS ..... they made a 1400rs hole in my pocket....but the earphones are worth the price.... i would rate it 5stars
awesome bass capability
smooth fitting
way too better than stock.....(guess wat u wont use dsp or any mod for better sound...its natural wid them.....but using dsp gives more life to them ...i use dsp at minimum )
the wire is long...
flat wire so no tangling
close your eyes and get them

Can you give me their model/make number?

They are the best ones out there!

Giving a small review/update on these...
So I finally bought a pair a few months back, but I am frankly really really disappointed with skullcandy...
I bought a one for around 1199 INR, and it left a lot to be fulfilled...
Utter disappointment, as I expected something way better than the stock earphones, but it was only nice in noise-isolation, and everything else was comparable to the stock samsung earphones that came along...
And the build quality is really delicate, I was very careful with them as dropping them could have broken them...
So disappointing that I sold them off to an acquaintance within 3 weeks...
I did gave skullcandy another chance, since shortly after that, I bought another different pair/model for 699 INR...
And this one is just plain horrible...
Low volume, no clarity at higher volume (as high as it could get), poor bass, no warranty card...all in all, I was worse off than before...
Only thing going for these ones was that they had *comparatively* better build quality, and were cheaper...
Been using this for two months, but unfortunately, one of the earpieces has stopped working...
No warranty, :crying::crying:
My review, skullcandy :thumbdown:
Stay away if you can...
Stick to stock headsets, those aren't the worst pair...

well I feel skullcandy is overhyped to be frank
I always liked our stock headphones , more than the apple ones .

Apple normal earphones were better than the skullcandy in-ear types...
Used it with my iPod shuffle, and without any equalizer, the experience was horrible...
Haven't purchased the Apple new semi-in-ear earphones, anyone has them/tried them?

depends on your budget. Sub $100, you can also consider Klipsch S4 or Shure SE215.

I've had a pair the Shure SE215 since they have came out (3 years ago I think). Great pair of headphones, I use them all the time.

I can't really compare between what's better, because I haven't used any of those 3 but I have a pair of Bose IE2s (seems to be about the same price range as the Shures) and a blue tooth pair of Jaybird BlueBuds X with TX-500 Comply Foam Tips. Both sound amazing. The IE2 doesn't have any mic or media controls though, but they do sell ones that do (MIE2). I recently wanted better sound and those are what I got. Those coupled with the ViPer4Android Audio Mod and adding the Tips to the BlueBuds I'm content. Best 2 pair of headphones I've ever had, but then again... I've never spent more than 20 bucks on earphones. I can't image how much better the $200+ headphones would sound, but then again I can't even image the sound getting any better than this.
Also the J33i's say apple 3-button remote, so check if they do work on android if that's something you want.
Special Note: On the ViPer4Android Mod. It works so good that I'm thinking of buying cheaper headphones, but not until my IE2s die, Because I'm cheap like that. I'd have never bought those if I hadn't listened to the pair my friend had. They make cheap headphones sound pretty damned good and good headphones sound great. Never thought much of the iphones earpods, but with the mod they sound quite nice, also had a pair of earphones that I listened to once and toss them in a drawer because they sucked, with the mod again sounded pretty good too. So if you guys haven't tried it, check it out. ViPER4Android Audio Effects, sorry not trying to hijack your thread, but I think it's possibly the best thing ever on my phone.

I can vouch for the Klipsch S4. I've had my pair for about a year and they are still perfect. The soundstage is superb. The instruments do not sound like they are right on top of each other. The bass and treble are a bit exaggerated but most people probably prefer it that way.

I follow a forum that specializes in high quality headphone equipment. The URL is here. They recommended me the Klipsches and many other pairs of headphones I own. If you really want options and professional opinions on headphones, I'd recommend you go there.

try shure se535 red with baldur mk2 cables. best choice ever

What do you think about the google headphone

I want to buy headphones to my Nexus 4, and I want to know what is your opinion about the google headphone, or the ibeats (Dr. Dre).
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

If you like your headphones bassy and overpriced, go for the ibeats. But I doubt the controls will work as they're made for apple devices.
In general, I think you'll find much better options than either. First of all, though, you should think about what you want in your headphones and how much you're willing to spend. And then seek out a forum with lots of people who care about audio quality etc.
I personally am using the Superlux HD 381F. Build quality is not spectacular, but the sound is amazing considering they only cost 20€, so it's not that much of a loss if you break or lose them. Which I do way too often to actually buy more expensive ones.

I would go with neither.
Go with Senheiser or another know 'headphone' brand.
I myself use the Marley earbuds, they fit perfectly, the cord is not from plastic but from fabric, earbuds are from wood, and most of all have amazing sound.

the question if its realy working

Get yourself a pair of Sennheiser, Shure, or audio-technica headphones. ~$100 for some really good ones.

Do a little search and you can come up with a few threads on various headphones. From cheapest, to what you have/recommend, in ear or over the ear,etc. It's here. I know because I commented on most of them lol.
My opinion of the Google headphones. They are good for just the casual listener. Dr. Dre are a bit overpriced for what they are, but I don't deny the popularity of them due to "style" and whatnot. What is your budget? What type of headphones are you looking into? These are some of the things to think of and do a little research on to come to your conclusion.
I just bought some Munitio NINES 9mm earbuds, because they looked interesting because they look like bullet casings lol. Well I read in some reviews that they sound great for the price. So I am testing them out.
So basically, if you want good in ears, go for the brands like Sennheiser or Shure products. Also Jays headphones are decent as well. I personally use the Sol Republic AMPS HD for my yardwork. They are light and tangle free. Over the ears are based on mostly on personal preference due to the head phone cup size, portability, and so forth.
Additionally, the type of music you listen to plays a factor as well. GL and happy shopping!

I have not tried the google headphones, ( i'm sure their average to decent like standard earphones) but I do own the ibeats by Dr.dre. I would not have bought them myself as I agree they are overpriced, but I received them as a birthday gift. The quality is very good, better than any other earphones I tried or had ( all <$20) and they have a lot of bass, which I really like. The build quality is really good too, better than all my usual cheap earphones ( but thats what you would expect at that price range) - the rubber for the wires and the metal earbuds are both good. I was happy with the sound but honestly I'm sure you could get just as good a pair in terms of sound quality for $50, like the name brands mentioned above. These are just priced for the branding and popularity and style points. I did get a lot of compliments for them since they are recognizable.
For the controls, only the center button worked for me. It does pause/play, or pick up/hang up a call. You can get apps to set the one button to do other things based on how many times you press it. The volume/track + - buttons did not work for me, I don't think android supports them yet.
So your choice, depends on your budget and what you want. They're good but expensive.. you might be better off with one of the well known audio company brands.

http://www.amazon.com/Hands-Free-Stereo-Headset-iPhones-Models/dp/B005QAV6FC
I use them with this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kober.headsetbutton
They're excellent for the money, and the plug is actually a 90 degree, though the pictures don't show it. They've got great bass, and you won't believe the quality for the price.

I recommend the Klipsch IMAGE S4 II's. Love the sound from them and they're not too expensive. If you're looking for cheap, the IMAGE S3 or original IMAGE S4's also do an excellent job. The versions that have an A at the end of them have a customizable button via an Android app made by Klipsch themselves.

Seconding this. I have the HAFX1X and it really pumps the bass. Looks pretty good too! Now if I can find the bud thing that fits in my ears instead of it falling out, it'll be golden.

I bought a set off amazon for cheap but were fake, real obvious fakes even though their description said originals.
they were labeled "Samsnug" was the first give away, I compared them to my originals, the cables were not flat, the fakes are round originals are flat.
other give away, is the strain relief at the end of each ear bud was longer, the real ones are shorter.
I gave up and bought a set off ebay from a S4 owner who didn't need them, they were originals with new extra set of ear buds.
Cost me 11 bucks. there are a lot of them on ebay but really hard to tell if they are fakes unless they are come out of the S4 box.
Good luck.

S4 buds are flat s3 buds are round but Ya I can't find the part number for them and the Samsung website doesn't sell them as an accessory which doesn't help a single bit but if you can get the s3 buds I find they have better bass

Looking for bass? I got Radius Atomic Bass headphones and their awesome IMHO. It's like having 12's bump in my ears lol. Had them over a year now and they've been thru the washer twice (didn't realize that until I found them in the dryer lol). Didn't pay a whole bunch either.

yes sorry been busy..I will PM and do what we had agreed.

I hate the headphones that came with my s4. I don't like them to go into my ears I like them just to sit there without having to push it in your ear.

I have monster ncredible n-tune headphones now and they have a Mic built in and the sound quality is as good as beats but they cost 150 bucks but well worth it

Go with skullcandy. Way cheaper and way better quality.

Mine are still in the packaging you can have them. PM me.

I bought a pair off eBay, claiming they are OEM. NOT! The plastic around the earbuds were cracked.

The samsung earphones are not good anyway. I'd rather get smth else really.

Did anyone ever find a place to get these? I'd really love to get another set... Mine are almost shot.

Why stay with OEM headphones that came with the phone? They're usually ok, but not necessarily specially tuned for the audio drivers in the device to provide the best experience. I have a cheapo $20 pair of SoundAura BT headphones and a pair of Puggs in-ears. With Viper4Android I've blown my friends Beats and Skullcandy's out of the water with clarity and bass. In this age of mods you really can have just about any set you want and tune them yourself with apps. You can't really expect original phone headphones to stick around too long after the device is released.

I've tried several different (cheap) ear bud headphones and they all suck, I was so surprised when I tried the ones that came with this phone they really were great, they stay in my ear when I turn my head, the plug end hasn't failed after years of use, they sound good enough for me and much better than any other cheap ones I've tried... they even block out other sound from the surroundings surprisingly well. I dunno all around I was just really impressed with these ones -- all the little details.
They seem to me like a legitimate product of their own rather than some worthless value add that doesn't add any value.
Really though I was just hoping I'd get lucky and find someone on here that happened to have a pair laying around they didn't want!
