maybe they don't have the bass/sound he is looking for....maybe the headphones he wants look better.
Beats by Dr. Dre Anyone have 'em??

If you want to pay more for worse build quality and overdone, muddy bass because you only listen to one type of music, then go right ahead.

I'm confused, better headphones can be had for less than Beats Studios'

I was just wondering what people think of these headphones. I hear good things but it'd be great to hear from some MR users who have them. Thanks!
This is what the op asked , not what's the best headphone or what's your opinion on the price even thou you don't have them. He is asking to hear from some MR users who HAVE THEM!!!!!

I ordered the Tours an hour ago.
I carefully considered the reviews, and in the end decided I'd buy them. I listen to/compose electronic/dance/techno and my current JVC earbuds aren't doing it for me. I know that these things are apparently meant for rap or whatever, but people have said they're good for anything, so I wanted to try them out.

I have these headphones and they're pretty good. I own a pair of Pros as well for DJing and think they're pretty solid. I'm considering ordering a pair of the Solos as well.
In real
Like the other poster said, you definitely should check out the reviews from head-fi. They're generally very fair comments and ratings on head phones.
Personally i've had tried my friend's solo, returned the power beats and diddy beats, however currently owning the studios. I'll be honest, I like the studios because of the looks. I use them to "replace" my apple earbuds, but not as my entertainment headphones, so lets get that point clear.
IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, I can say don't buy anything under the beats studio cause the sound is very muddy. For soft music, you will even have greater problem hearing the different layers of sound... The studios are above them since the price is marked higher, however if your buying them for $350, i would say forget it... studios are not worth $350... I got them for $250 on boxing day and I think they're expensive for the quality.
The studios are really good in a way that I would only use them for gaming and deep bass music. Trance, club, R&B goes very well with the beats studio because of its bass accuracy, but it lacks in all categories when its playing other music. I also currently own a Sennheiser HD 558, I got them for a price of $180, I can definitely say they are amazing and definitely better than the beats studio overall. Not to mention when I'm comparing a audiophile entry level to a luxury prices ear phone (beats: not quality) The only down side to better quality is that they're not closed ear phones, meaning I can't really carry them out without others hearing wtf I'm listening to... the beats are closed but then they have a certain amount of leakage if ur volume is above certain level for certain music.
In the end, I would say buy beats studio if you can find them at $200, I definitely don't think they're even worth $250... but if ur baller n all, I'll say get the PRO, I actually think those are damn good. If your lucky look for the discounted boxing day deal on the Turbines which were like $300 off... those are solid too!

My Beats Tour in-ear headphones came in. These things are unquestionably the greatest things to have ever graced my ears. First off, the presentation is delightful. I'm not going to say much about it but it's simple yet awesome. Second, the sound quality blows away my crappy JVCs (of course). The bass is perfect and the sound is clear. Also, all this time I've been thinking my right ear was simply a little more deaf than my left. Not true. Recently I've been suspecting that the shape of the right ear was off. This was true, and I've found the perfect tips that keep the sound equal between my ears. And finally, the non-tangle cord is something I will certainly be grateful for in the future. AND THERE'S NO SOUND LEAKAGE. Finally I can listen to my strange music without people hearing it.
You guys can thumb-down this post all you want. These are fantastic and I'm happy with my purchase.

Thumps up for being honest, but you need to try some different earphones other than the Beats Tour so you can hear how much better other earphones can sound.
