dre beats sound poo on iPad

Dre Beats sound poo.

FTFY!

I'm another one who thinks they sound awful as well. Sorry just being honest no troll here.

They have zero dynamic range,and generally sound way to bassy on almost every setting. Plus they cost way more than they should lol

Beats are way too expensive and are typically bought because their favorite celebs have them. Plus, they don't sound that well for the price. $300 for some headphones, wow. That's a car note for some.

Was planning on getting the sync by 50cent because they are wireless has anyone tried them ?

Those are even worse. /facepalm

In case you're interested though...

I'd listen to some of the other suggestions on this thread about cheaper and better headsets.

If you want wireless I'd stick to bluetooth and not some proprietary thing like Sync is trying to do.

Then again, $150 isn't bad if you really just have to have Beats http://www.beatsdrepro.net/monster/beats/by/dr/dre/solo/hd/with/controltalk/headphones/red or these http://www.beatsdredetox.com/online/beats-by-dre-detox
I'm not recommending beats but you dont have to shell out $300 for them if you really have to have them.

Here is what i currently use.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Denon-AHD1100-Over-Ear-Headphones/dp/B003YUBE4E

With this amplifier


http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fiio-E11-Po...WDES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334002965&sr=8-1

The cost of both of these is around £140. The Beats pro cost £223. Not only do you save money, have better build quality on both items, the sound quality is a vast improvement. The Denon kick out some really heavy bass but maintain really clean highs. The advantage of having a separate amplifier is being able to change the EQ, higher volume and the ability to use it with pretty much any headphones.

$150 for knockoffs of an already marginal product? Laff.

My equipment consists of

http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technic...AP4U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334016645&sr=8-1

http://www.amazon.com/FiiO-L1-Line-...GZV6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334016724&sr=8-1

http://www.headstage.com/The-Arrow-....html?XTCsid=2fdc720b531d965d030e4e27df336bb7

I didnt spend as much as it is now.

Arrow 3G + DAC = $299.00
ATH-M50 = $97.99
FiiO Line Out = $7.99
Total = 404.98

I get easily 40-60 hours out of each charge on the Arrow. I charge maybe once every couple months and it gets used every single day as it is also my PC's main output since I use DAC > Amp > Headphones instead of speakers.

I have some Sony MDR-V6's which are nice but I like the ATH-M50 much more.

My local Best Buy has Dr. Beats, on demo, alongside Bose AE2 and Sony xb500s...and people still pay more for "Beats". I blame this on Apple earbuds ruining the ears of millions.

I'm not sure why some are arguing the value of Beats. Virtually every publication of note has labeled them as poor value...particularly their on ear models.

If you want a good headphone for a mobile device, go with virtually any Senheiser, Sony Xb series, or the Bose AE2(I). Those aren't the only good options, but they're options you can demo almost anywhere, and they fall into 3 distinct price points, all at high value, all less expensive than Beats counterparts.

For me, the Bose AE2 and a pair of Klipsch in-ear phones gave me everything I need, and all cost less than the Dr Beat Studios the AE2s blow away.

I just don't get why the Beats are so popular. There are so many better headphones out there that sound better than they do. But some people buy the hype.

I went with the hype but I listen to music on way to work and I'm happy with them on iPhone since I'm not recording or making music with them , but why the huge difference in using them with ipad

I gues it's the iPad itself. Apple products usually have some weird compatibility issues with some products e.g Bluetooth headsets with Skype.
