Audiophiles and lovers of booming bass alike often ask me what I think about Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, assuming I'll somehow slam the company. But I'm actually a fan of what Beats has accomplished—in 2008, virtually no one was paying money for headphon...
Delivers powerful audio with deep bass and very crisp highs. Quite comfortable. Comes with two detachable cables, one with inline remote control. Rechargeable battery.
Overpriced. Wildly sculpted sound signature not for purists. Can't be used in passive mode. The familiar design is either a draw or a repellent...

Beats Electronics justifiably describes the 2013 version of Beats Studio ($300) as "an icon remastered." Although the original Beats Studio was both overpriced and sonically underwhelming, it was indeed iconic: its industrial design was unique, widely pra...
