Beats By Dr. Dre

I have to admit I really like how these look, as a collaboration between mega-platinum producer/rapper Dr. Dre and Monster Cables, "Beats By Dr. Dre" is a high end headphone developed "specifically for Hip-Hop music", with similar noise-canceling technology as the ever so hyped Bose Quiet Comfort 3, which sends out "anti-noise"(sound waves at the general frequencies of ambient noise) to "cancel" surrounding noises. "Beats" are terrific in both aesthetic and performance value, with its sleek black surface and terrific base, Hip-Hop fans should think twice before investing $400 on the QC3's, "Beats" is also iPhone compatible, including a microphone for phone conversations, and call/text alert sounds that stop music playback when the phone is occupied. After much research and testing, the QC3 and QC2, are simply too good to pass up at the same price, but for some Hip-Hop specific users, "Beats by Dr. Dre" is definitely something to consider.

P.S. Here's Game's new video featuring Travis Barker, repping Dre with the headphones.
