‘Beats by Dr. Dre' high-performance headphones feature both a unique and futuristic style, as well as newly developed sonic technologies for unprecedented state-of-the-art performance.

When world-class producers like Dr. Dre record their music, they utilise large high-performance studio loudspeakers and high-powered amplifiers to craft richly detailed musical soundscapes. Until now, however, consumers listening back to the music using conventional headphones have never had the opportunity to experience the full sonic palette of these recordings, with the full dynamic range, low bass, punch and clarity intended by the producers.

In order to re-create the rich, full sonic experience of today's best recordings, ‘Beats' powered isolation headphones utilise technologies never before used in headphones, including a newly developed driver technology. The result is great transient response and rich, deep bass – a Dr. Dre trademark. In development for two years, ‘Beats by Dr. Dre' are tuned personally by Dr. Dre and The Head Monster himself.

"Artists and producers work hard in the studio perfecting their sound, but people can't really hear it with normal headphones. Most headphones can't handle the bass, the detail, the dynamics. Bottom line: the music doesn't move you," said Dr. Dre. "With Beats, people are going to hear what the artists hear and listen to the music the way they should - the way I do."

These headphones have a wide adjustable headphone, hinged ear cups and high-quality Monster cable makes the Beats listening experience unmatched for comfort and function. A push-to-listen Mute button adds to the flexibility and convenience.
‘Beats by Dr. Dre' headphones will come in a carrying case with anti-microbial cleaning cloths, a Monster headphone cable, a mini-stereo to 1/4-inch stereo cable adapter, as well as Monster's iSoniTalk a microphone/headphone adapter for iPhones.

RRP
$599
