Time was, Monster Cables' wares were strictly … you know, cables. A quick look at their product line now reveals everything from power amplifiers to iPod cases to loudspeakers to spray cleaners to their own record label. And, after more than three years of top-secret development, they can add headphones to the list.

At home, plugged into a dedicated CD player, the Beats stood up to some serious listening. They delivered more subtle nuances than I'd heard in quite while, be it the sustain of a note, the random squeak of fingers on strings, the singer's breath, the tiny quavers in a his voice: the "human" aspects of a performance. Other times, I could almost see the dust jumping off the kick drum as I felt the genuine thump of the bass, both in my ears and in my hands when I held the earpieces. Driven to maximum volume levels, there was some modest clipping on both highs and lows, but generally the sound quality remained excellent, and I could definitely appreciate the more expansive dynamics of full-bitrate audio CD.
Final Thoughts
In the cacophonous confines of an airplane, I'm content to judge headphones on a Pass/Fail basis: Do they comfortably, effectively block out the omnipresent growl of the engines and render enjoyable music and movies? The answer here is a resounding yes, as the Beats felt remarkably good across my skull for four straight hours, solid yet lightweight with a slim swath of padding under the band. Neither are they as perspiration-inducing as I was expecting, as the ear-encompassing cushions are breathable despite earning their keep by sealing off the outside world.
So how would performer-designed gear perform? Switching on Beats By Dre initiates a fast fade down from ambient noise to a faint, high-pitched sonic artifacting of the cancellation process. I wanted to dismiss it as white noise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], constant and eventually ignorable, but it was actually intermittent, here one moment and gone another. When the noises--white and ambient--subsided, I was left with just a gentle whoosh. For comparison, I switched to a pair of Creative Aurvana X-Fi noise-canceling headphones that I like quite a lot, which when activated are more reminiscent of a distant wind. Apples and oranges, and once the music starts, all artifacting disappears.
Musician, Heal Thyself
Back on the ground, accompanying me on a variety of errands, the Beats brought the soundtrack of my New York City backdrop down to a dull roar, even taking the edge off of passing fire trucks and police cars and in point of fact removing a layer of unpleasantness from all manner of daily life. I'd expose an ear once in a while to hear what I was missing, and I never truly appreciated before how raucous a shopping mall can be.

What's in the Box?

Beats by Dr. Dre began with the eponymous recording artist/producer, working alongside Jimmy Iovine, chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records, himself an accomplished producer and engineer. Dre drew upon their long and varied artistic backgrounds to conceive headphones that would deliver more of the music that they hear in the studio, without the compromises common to popular equipment. They ultimately partnered with Monster to create what would become the flagship model, the Beats By Dr. Dre "Studio" Headphones. Combining new materials, large proprietary drivers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a digital amplifier,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], these much-anticipated 'phones received their final industrial design from Robert Brunner.



Essential to an authentic studio experience is the isolation from distraction, and so [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] offer active noise cancellation. A small microphone inside reads the ambient noise of the listening environment, and then circuitry generates an opposite soundwave, which can more or less negate the unwanted din. This process requires a fraction of a second to perform,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and so the sudden blast of a gunshot for example would not be eliminated. Noise cancellation technology is ideally suited to combat the constant drone of an airplane, for example, which is the primary use of such headphones.
While the end results on MP3s were not as sumptuous of course, a new level of clarity was imparted, particularly on more complex rock-and-roll soundscapes crafted in painstaking studio sessions. Individual instruments and secondary vocals could be effortlessly discerned: Seems like Dre and Iovine might have achieved their goal after all.

Manufacturer's Specifications

The headphones must be powered on--which again automatically engages the noise cancellation--in order to deliver the music. Two interchangeable cables are provided to run between the Beats and source device. One cable has standard mini-plugs on both ends, the other is Monster's " iSoniTalk," intended for use with the iPhone or other music-enabled phone, with a microphone and answer button attached to the cord.

The output level here is significantly higher than on other headphones I've tried, and no volume control is offered on the Beats themselves. Monster recommends that iPod users activating the Sound Check feature to standardize the volume on all tracks and prevent unpleasant--possibly painful--surprises. Despite the ample power, battery life was generous, as I made it through half my testing on the original pair of batteries included in the package. They only died after I tucked the Beats into my bag without switching them off. (Long day…).
Spinning and Grinning


I should point out that as I wore the Beats By Dre for a few weeks during this review, multiple strangers asked me longingly where I acquired them. Initially in short supply, word is apparently out on them already, and they have become a bona fide object of lust: Even the squat, semi-hard case with monogram and carabiner clip is eye-catching. And these headphones treated my ears pretty well, too.
A pair of AAA batteries goes inside the left earcup, and the right side offers two controls. There's a master On/Off switch with a red indicator light, and pressing the large "b" emblem mutes both the music and the noise cancellation, should you want to discuss your drink cart options with the flight attendant without removing the headphones. They fold and unfold with a pair of locking hinges, but we must take care not to overextend the rigid plastic headband when putting them on or taking them off, lest calamity occur.
