Fantastic Bass, Great Buy Overall!
By Stanford S. on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2016
I purchased these headphones around five and a half months ago. I managed to get them on sale for around $100 off. I have to say, the price is extremely high, but it is not a total deal breaker because of the experience with the headphones.First of all, I will talk about the sound. I am a huge music lover, so I like really having good sound in my headphones. One reason I purchased the wired version over wireless is because the bass is better on wired. The bass is absolutely incredible. I'm a drummer, so I like to be able to hear the drums and the bass. The drums are so crisp and easy to hear, but not overpowering. The bass is truly incredible. If you get a song with good bass, take off the headphones (Preventing ear damage), and blast it as loud as it can, you can feel the headphones vibrate significantly. With a normal volume and having them on your head, you can really feel the bass.So in summary about the bass, if you want a good experience listening to "Stressed Out" by Twenty-One Pilots, these headphones are right for you. In terms of overall music genres that sound best, I certainly think rock, alternative, and pop without a ton of synthesizers is nice. Any music with a ton of the synthesizers just doesn't sound the best, as I don't think the beats can really deliver the sound they can with the high-pitched synthesizers like it can with guitars and drums. Overall, I feel these Beats Studio 2.0s deliver fantastic sound.Second of all, I'll talk about comfort. These beats are not the least comfortable, yet not the most comfortable. In terms of material, the area around the ear cups appear to be a soft pleather material. The material on the part that would be touching your head is very soft, and feels slightly like the arm rests in the Inscription model of the 2016 Volvo XC90, so it's a very soft, cushiony, material. These headphones are pretty comfortable for me, but if you have them on for an extended period of time, they will make your head a bit sore. I've tried on my friend's Bose Soundlink Mini Wireless headphones, and they are significantly more comfortable than these. They have a pleather material all around what would be touching your head, and they are much lighter. Overall, these get a 4/5 when it comes to comfort.Third of all, I will discuss the build quality. Overall, these Beats do seem very durable. However, I did have an instance where I dropped them from about two and a half feet in the air, while inside the hard zipper case that comes including, and the sound stopped coming out of one ear. I notified Beats about the problem, and they replaced them for free (we had warranty of course). The customer service was very helpful and they replaced them quickly. But overall, these beats are pretty durable.Finally, I will be talking about other cons of these headphones. The major con is that they are priced very high. However, if you can get them on sale, it is definitely worth the bang for your buck. In terms of noise cancellation, these really shouldn't be advertised as noise cancelling. Yes, putting them on does drown out a little noise, but I can easily still hear a conversation around me, the loudness of a school bus, and a classroom with a normal noise level. Also, the charging situation is not ideal. I understand having to charge them to get the noise cancellation, but when these things run out of battery, they won't play any music at all. I think they should take the power from the device to play music when not charged. The battery life is very long however.In conclusion these headphones delivery great sound quality overall, with excellent bass, they are for the most part comfortable, but not the most comfortable, and they are reasonably durable. I would definitely recommend buying these headphones.

Fell Apart After Mild Use & Expensive!
By ACinKC on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2016
I was on the fence about buying these headphones, because I heard the sound quality was not very good. I had picked up a pair of Gen 1 Beats in a store years ago and I thought they were garbage. After Beats had been around awhile and their products actually started to look cool, I tested this pair at a local Best Buy. I was still on the fence about buying a pair because I thought a pair of Bose headphones would be a better investment. I have had these for a year now, and the sound quality is just good, a 7/10 on a 1 to 10 scale. The bass is good, but compared to Bose headphones or other high end headphones you should buy something else if you are a true audiophile. Still, they are comfortable for the most part and they look cool. My headphones have a cord with a mic in it that is useful if you want to take phone calls with your headphones on and the volume knobs on the cord are easy to use. There is a noise reducing feature on the headphones that works pretty well, but not as well as other high end brands would. Summary: These headphones sound good, but are a touch too expensive if you are an audiophile. Still, they look cool and they do last if you collapse the band around the headphones before you fold the cups in (I thought I would address this since I have seen reviews where people say they snapped off one of the ear cups).Update: After mild use, the stitching on the cups tore. These are poorly made and I'm aggravated I didn't buy something nicer for the price. Don't make the same mistake I did!
