Im lookin to cop a new pair of Headphones, two choices ive looked at have been the wireless Beats by Dre and the studio Beats By Dre, out of those two which one would you all recommend? Or maybe even another option?

for new headphones man i really love the studio beats. you can ebay legit pairs for like 150. i got my pair refurbished from monster website comes with warranty and all will all accessories for 200. wireless ones aren't big enough and cups press on your ear and get uncomfortable.

thanks man i think ill use your advice

Do you want a pair of headphones or a fashion accessory? With the money spent towards Studios, you can easily get some better ones. Ultrasones, Audio Technica, Shure, UE, just to name some. I can only do inears and my UEs serve me well. EDIT I'm not trying to be a dick. I've owned the Tours and Studios, and was able to try out the Solo HDs. They look nice and are recognized by everyone [good and bad] but they do break easily, sound is ehh and the price is premium quality.

Previously owned M50's and currently "Cheap-o" Sennheiser HD280 Pro's I still think there are much better looking headphones out there. Even the more recent AKJ K550's which I am looking to get [img]http://uarrr.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/akg_review.jpg[/img] If you want to see real reviews on headphones go to Head-Fi

Are you solely looking for headphones or would earphones work? I'd personally recommend AERIAL7 or Munitio over Beats By Dre or the other big names. A lot of the time you are buying into the name and hype and not the quality.

Beats by Dre are a Joke if you are looking for great sound, awesome if you want a fashion accessory and lots of over-compensating bass. Get you some Sony MDR 7506 or Audio Technica ath-m50's, save yourself a chunk of money and have better sound.

I've gone through 3 pairs of Beats By Dre because all 3 broke in the same spot. Depending on what you are using them for and your price range I suggest looking into Bose Quitecomfort 3's or AKG K 550 Don't waste your money on a pair of headphones that won't last you at all!

Wireless solo beats are trash they charge you an extra 100 for no cord, thats dumb. Get some studios. Also if your beats break = you take terrible care/ you have a big ass head mines have been in tip top shape for 3 years

Bose headphones sound the best.
