Skullcandy SGHEBZ-12 Kobe Bryant Hesh DJ Headphone Review

2010-12-19T03:46:00.000-08:00

Skullcandy SGHEBZ-12 Kobe Bryant Hesh DJ Headphone (White with NBA Lakers Colors)

I saw these online before they were released so I did a lot of looking around online to see where I could get them the soonest and cheapest... Amazon had them for $5 cheaper than everybody else plus I signed up for a free month of Amazon Prime and got free 2-day shipping.

The headphones are SICK... I get rave reviews about them from everybody, plus I can answer my iPhone calls and then it automatically switches back to my music (even with pandora) when the call is done.

However, if you snowboard at Bear Mountain, don't buy these, or else I will kill you

The sound quality is nice

dre headphones review

The sound quality is nice but not much greater than my 50 dollar pair of Sony headphones. The only difference is a little more base and the noise reduction is nice. The design is admirably sleek and more attractive than my 50 dollar pair. They are certainly overpriced.

Having to use two AAA batteries simply for the 300 dollar headphones to work is also ridiculous. Whats funny is that as i am writing this, i left the switch on and it has been on for the last 2 hours without me using them. Im pretty sure this will happen quite a bit. I would not buy another pair. Im sure there are many that love theirs a lot more. Save your money or spend it more wisely than i did. If someone were to give me $150 they can have them and i have only worn them 3 times, Dr Dre and Monster, what a lovely pair

These are GREAT headphones!,

2010-09-23T02:06:00.000-07:00

I will start by saying I am a bit of a headphone junkie. I have Grados, Sony's, Ultrasone's, Bose and Sennheizer's to name a few. I sampled these headphones at the Apple store and I was impressed, but wasn't blown away. I, however, continued to read about these cans and saw much of what you are probably seeing...good and bad reviews. I decided to give them a full home test and ponied up $232 to buy them new. I will say that out of the box there aren't many headphones that look this good. They are lookers, no doubt, but that doesn't mean much when it comes to performance. I primarily listen to old school rap and punk rock/modern rock. These headphones are perfect for these genres. The bass is great. Not boomy....just tight, powerful and crisp. The treble is above average, but they certainly aren't bright, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The mids seem to be just right. I like my Grados SR60s, but they are an open ear design and can't be played when you are near people unless you want them to hear your tunes. The Grados also seem to be too bright at times...certainly brighter than these. Overall the sound is great for what I listen too. I don't see these being great for classical music or acoustic music, but again I am saying great. They would be good. The build quality seems good. These are also extremely comfortable. Extremely. The noise cancelling is OK. The Bose QC 15s are certainly better in this arena. That is fact, not an opinion. These headphones also play loud. They sync well with your iPods. Easily powered. I will summarize my short review by saying these are certainly worth what I paid. You do get what you pay for. You will look good and get good, solid sound with some noise cancelling properties. They stow away easily and come well packaged. I strongly suggest you give these a whirl. I doubt you will be disappointed. Remember...you need to give these about 50 hours of break-in time. You will see a discernable gain after break-in. Nice job Monster. I am impressed. Thanks!

LOVE THESE HEADPHONES!!,

This review is from: Beats Studio by Dr. Dre - Hi-Def Noise-Canceling Over-Ear Headphones (Electronics)

First off I just want to say that I have been debating these headphones for a good 3 months now, I've done a ton of research on them and then I finally decided to spend the cash and get a pair. Let me tell you, I don't regret my purchase at all! These headphones are fantastic! The sound is indescribable and the quality from what I can tell is pretty darn good! I also listening to basically every genre of music out there and everything sounds great from Gustav Mahler Symphonies to Miles Davis to Eminem to Slipknot....it all sounds great.

Being that said, I do have a few cons that may aid you in your purchase. 1) AAA Batteries, really monster you couldn't come up with rechargeable solution? 2) The black controltalk cable (microphone cable) seems to be a little touchy with my iPhone 4, you can't really touch it or move it or it will stop working 3) You all probably know this by now, but the sound leaking is pretty apparent...so if you don't want people around to know what you're listening too, then these might not be for you.

Overall, I love the headphones, they sound great, good quality and very stylish. I'd definitely recommend purchasing a pair!

Rediscovering music

2010-08-28T21:26:00.000-07:00

Let me start by saying this This headphones are great, they are comfortable, nice looking, and they do sound great.

As of now I don't regret buying them, the sound is above average and the design as you have noticed is really attractive, in the matter of materials i'm not very satisfied, the plastic in the components seems cheap,both in the cables and in the headphones. For the price, i would expect better quality in materials, Also there is a notable sound leak if you play the music too loud, so it might be annoying if there is people close to you.

Other than that they are a great pair of headphones.

It's only sin is not having snob appeal for audiophools

2010-08-28T21:25:00.001-07:00

I've owned about twenty pairs of headphones in my life.

Koss, Pioneer, Koss again, Pioneer again, Sennheiser 560's, 600's and I've listened critically to DOZENS more.

The uppermost octave is not as extended or "forward" as say the Grado HF-2 or the Denon 7000's.

Consider that a weakness if you love treble, but it hits my ear as "flat" and not "forward".

Don't let propagandists tell you they're overpriced. The street prices are currently around $175.00. For me, they're worth every penny.

The Bass is the best of any headphone I've ever owned. The distortion is low because the Monster Beats use a digital amplifier.

I use mine in conjunction with a Ray Samuels P-51 outboard portable headphone amp.

My Sennheisers (higher impedance by orders of magnitude) quake, tremble, distort and clip all over the place.

The Beats are clean, crisp and above all DYNAMIC.

Telarc Organ or Orchestra CD's? Fear not....

Rock or Commercial multichannel mono? It stoops to conquer.

Jazz and various kinds of "Oooooh there's a palpable presence as Miles sways back and forth". Yeah. It does that too.

What it doesn't do is require you to drop two or three thousand dollars on an outboard dedicated headphone amp.

And for that it is hated in some internet corners.

I've never had any build quality issues, but I don't spend days with them wrapped around my neck.

When I'm not listening they're in their case.

I'm a professional musician and I've spent time in studios. Studio headphones sound like crap on purpose.

These are NOT studio headphones. They're high fidelity headphones.

LISTEN for yourself.

Like Zappa used to say:

"Thwart a norm" by making up your own mind.

Stylish design and clean, deep bass, but overpriced

2010-08-28T21:22:00.000-07:00

I'll start out by saying I collect mid-priced headphones(between $50 - $300). It may be an odd hobby, but it gives me a certain perspective that others may not have. I'm also an engineering major, and I found the general lack of objective, in-depth headphone reviews on Amazon to be disconcerting. So, here I am, taking a shot at reviewing some of the headphones I either own or have spent a lot of time listening to.

I've devised a simple six-song test and rating system, where 0 - 2 is abysmal, 2.1 - 4 is poor, 4.1 - 6 is mediocre, 6.1 - 8 is above average, and 8.1 - 10 is excellent.

The songs are very diverse; I was trying to represent a wide range of genres. They are "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac(encoded in 256 kbps Ogg Vorbis), "Every Planet We've Reached is Dead" by Gorillaz(256 kbps .ogg), "Concerto Grosso #26 in D major" by Handel(256 kbps .ogg), "I Know You Are, But What Am I?" by Mogwai(500 kbps .ogg), "Afro Blue" by Triplexity(192 kbps .ogg), and "The Patient" by Tool(500 kbps .ogg).

I listened to everything on an iAudio 7 with the equalizer set to flat and all the sound effects turned off.

Sound Quality(6.8/10)

The Chain(6/10) - bass is nice and deep, slightly exaggerated, but still pleasant to listen to. Distortion is present, but very minimal. Mid tones and highs are somewhat underrepresented and bland, but otherwise sound decent. Instrument separation is a bit muddy. The main negative here is the sound stage, which is tiny.

Every Planet(8/10) - lows and highs both sound very smooth and rich in this song. Mid tones, as before, are underrepresented and bland. Instrument separation is good, but the sound stage is very underwhelming.

Concerto(6/10) - the bass in this song is deep and vibrant. Lows are nicely responsive. Mids and highs don't have quite the balanced presence they should have. Instrument separation is fairly muddy. Once again, the sound stage is lacking.

I Know You Are(7/10) - bass, as expected, is nice and vivid. Distortion was too high near the beginning of the song, but gradually leveled off. Highs were nice and crisp, but mid tones were lacking. Instrument separation, as was the case with most other songs, is a bit muddy, and the sound stage, while not as bad in this song, is still mediocre.

Afro Blue(8/10) - the lows in this song were pleasantly punchy, and the highs were fairly crisp and smooth. Mid tones were muddy, however, as was the overall instrument separation(no surprises here). The sound stage is similar to what it was in "I Know You Are, But What Am I?"; it is more present than in most songs, but doesn't have the fullness I would expect of circumaural headphones at this price.

The Patient(6/10) - right off the bat, the bass guitar in this song sounds great. Treble is decent, but underrepresented, as are the mid tones. The primary complaint I had in this song was actually not the sound stage(which isn't emphasized anyway), but the instrument separation, which I felt was greatly lacking in precision.

Overall Sound(6.8/10) - the bass from these cans is overall clean and pleasant. Somewhat exaggerated, but not greatly so. Distortion, while present at times, is also in small amounts. These aren't the subs-attached-to-your-head that some might expect before having listened to them. Treble sounds above average, but slightly underrepresented. The mid tones even more so - to the extent that they come across as bland. Instrument separation is also a bit muddy(although not too terrible). Another reviewer commented that these headphones were designed to sound slightly muddy, but I find this hard to believe, since the advertisement on Amazon claims "precise audio clarity". But as I've mentioned time and again, the biggest drawback to these cans is the sound stage, which just wasn't there. Overall, though, I would give these headphones an above average score in terms of sound quality.

Design(9/10)
These are a closed-air, cirumaural design, and a very attractive one at that. I like the styling very much. Lines on these phones are aggressive, but clean and elegant at the same time. They are also very comfortable. They're lightweight and have plenty of padding. My only complaint here is the headband, which I felt was too rigid, and didn't conform to my head as much as I'd have liked. I also like how mobile these are - they fold up, and come with a nice case to carry them around in. Great for traveling.

They are also built pretty well. I would rather see more aluminum at this price, but the plastic they're composed of is nice and solid. They seem durable, and I doubt they would fall apart anytime soon.

Noise Isolation(7/10)
Noise isolation in these Monsters is accomplished via the closed circumaural design, which features plenty of thick padding, and active destruction of outside sound waves entering the headphone. I am a fan of the former; the latter, not so much. In my experience, active noise cancellation interferes with sound quality, not only because of the waves that must be emitted to interfere with incoming ambient noise, but also because an external headphone amplifier can't really be used with noise-canceling headphones due to their built-in amplifier, which is typically not of premium quality. It's difficult to judge on a case-by-case basis, because the built-in amp can't be removed, but going by the sound produced by the Monster Beats, I don't think they're an exception to this rule.

All of that aside, the Monsters were definitely designed to be noise-canceling, so I won't dock points for that. What I will take off points for is relative effectiveness, which I didn't feel was where it should be, all things considered. They do block quite a lot of noise, but plenty of noise still bleeds through. I've heard noise-canceling headphones that are considerably more effective. Then again, I've also heard much worse, and these, in my opinion, are above average.

Bottom Line(6/10)
Monster Beats by Dr. Dre are a good, above-average sounding and noise-isolating pair of headphones that feature a comfortable, highly stylish, and mobile design. This doesn't come close to justifying their high price, however. Sound quality should be significantly higher in this price range. But as always, different people perceive sound quality in different ways, and I highly encourage you to listen for yourself to a wide range of headphones before spending money. Those interested in good, deep bass at or under the price of the Monsters should also listen to various Beyerdynamic headphones, and the ATH-D40fs model by Audio Technica.

Am I Floating?

2010-08-24T21:01:00.000-07:00

I do not own these. Yet. I am 16 years old and have loved music all my life. It runs through my veins and I live for every sweeping crescendo and swooping diminuendo. My dad has Bose Quietcomforts and I hate them. They droop down off your face and my Sony on-ear headphones (that are meant to just get the job done) sound a lot better.

The Beats blow both out of the water. I try them on and listen to the Monster Beats tracks with Bass Boost on at the Apple Store every time I go to the mall. I have to honestly say that I am overjoyed to hear such quality sound entering my brain each and every time. Yes, I do aspire to have a trunk full of subs in my car, so obviously these bass-boosted cans are very much my forté, but even the odd things like 50 Cent's monotone rapping voice just sound plain better through the Beats. I look forward to receiving them on my birthday (hopefully) this year, and they should make a good companion to the 4g iPod Touch, even if the sound quality of an iTunes device isn't the greatest. That is all.

Too Expensive An Investment For Such Poor Manufacturing Quality

2010-08-24T21:00:00.001-07:00

I wish I could give these cans a glowing review but after being burned twice due to poor manufacturing quality I must now warn consumers against making a $300 investment in these.

The first pair I bought was a year ago and I LOVED them from the first note I heard. I had never owned a pair of high end headphones so this was quite an upgrade for me. I was having a blast hearing my music library in a totally different way. This all changed about 2-3 months in as the screws which secure the earphones to the headbands started to get loose. With no way of securing them (you can't screw them back in) they eventually started to fall out. Little by little the headphones began to fall apart until they were no longer usable. I called Monster support up and they agreed to send me a new pair as long as I sent the broken pair to them (at my cost). Awesome! Well not so much...

About 3-4 months later I took off the headphones after using them and noticed the headband had a crack right in the middle of it! Not only were my headphones no longer stylish but they were no longer stable. I tried to work through the problem until one day I went to put them on after having them around my neck only to find that the left ear cushion was missing! More than a handful of times I have had an ear cushion fall off and I'd have to snap them back in but losing them makes the headphones completely useless, both for comfort and sound reasons.

I called Monster back and they told me they could not replace them again for free but I take advantage of their out of warranty program and get a new pair for $150. Gee let me think...I already coughed up $300 on these - should I put another $150 into this product that has already failed me twice? Of course the answer was no. While the cans are nice when they work I just couldn't put more money into something that I knew would break. Additionally, it was a hassle having to replace the batteries every few weeks (or have them run out of juice on you in the middle of the day while outside).

Therefore, I would have to recommend consumers shopping for headphones look elsewhere. In the meantime I will be looking for reliable/well crafted replacement.

PS The cord would always wear away at the ends, too.

Stylish design and clean, deep bass, but overpriced

2010-08-24T20:58:00.000-07:00

Excellent bass. Stylish. Great for travel. Surround sound/depth could be better.,

2010-08-24T10:04:00.000-07:00

I have been really satisfied (and still using) with the Sennheiser HD-595 Premier Headphone (which cost about $300 at the time; the most expensive headphone I've ever spent). Sennheiser is known for making leading professional headphones/microphones/etc.

...And then there's MONSTER.

As far as I'm aware, I've only known MONSTER for selling really really expensive overpriced cables for TV/home theater/audio input components. Well, Monster has teamed up with hip hop artist/actor/record producer, Dr. Dre (made Eminem famous) and created this "High-Definition" headphones, which they call BEATS.

I'll be comparing the Monster Beats headphone with the Sennheiser HD-595, since it's the most expensive headset that I own (till this one), and I'd be shocked to find something that sounds better than the HD-595 (that's around the same price range or less).

I think it's obvious most people will expect the bass to be the #1 priority with this headphone, considering it's by MONSTER + Dr. Dre and called Beats. Well, it definitely doesn't disappoint there. The Monster Beats definitely wins in terms of bass. (Of course, Dr. Dre's genre relies heavily on it). If you listen to lots of rock/rap then you'll love the bass on these. If you get headaches with bass or you just can't stand it, then obviously, these aren't really for you.

The Monster Beats headphones require two AAA batteries to listen. You cannot use the headphones if no batteries are inserted, or if you don't have the switch to ON (located on the right side of the headphone). The batteries go inside the left compartment of the headphone. I've been listening with this headphone for the past two days and the batteries are still going. I'll have to use it longer to fully test the battery life, but hopefully it'll last several months because that would be really annoying if I have to keep replacing batteries. Since the headphone is powered by the battery, the sound is obviously amplified more, as well as the bass, than regular headphones. Whether you're using this on your computer, portable device or iPod, you can have the volume at a low setting and it'll still sound a lot louder than if you were to use a different headset at that volume setting.

For taking the headphones on-the-go and for traveling, the Monster Beats win again in terms of portability. The Monster Beats can be collapsed nicely and comes with a nice protective case to store it in; so you won't be damaging that nice shiny glossy sleek look of the headphone. The Beats definitely has a more youthful look and the shiny piano black finish will definitely catch more attention; however, personally, I think the Sennheiser HD-595 has more of a professional look. The Sennheisher HD-595 has more of a soft earmuffs cushion and the cups are larger, whereas the Beats are leather and smaller. The headphone cable for the Beats is also shorter, so the length is suitable for portable devices; whereas the HD-595, the cord is insanely long and not really made for walking around with it (but you can always replace the cord).

Without taking off your Beats headphone, you can press and hold the center button (The beat logo) on the right side of the headphone and it'll mute the sound until you release it again; this is convenient when someone needs to tell you something for a brief moment or you want to hear what's going outside for just awhile. The Beats headphone are closed headphones, so just by putting the headphone, you'll notice outside noise being reduced.

The vocals treble seem to be slightly higher than normal, but then again, it is also counter-balanced because again, the bass is stronger than what most headphones produce. The Monster Beats is great for hip hop/rap/rock music that use bass, of course, but what about others?

For overall music, despite the impressive bass on the Beats, I am still way more impressed with the sound of the HD-595. Compared to the HD-595, I feel the Beats lack more depth in surround sound. Granted, the Beats headphone are closed headphones, whereas the HD-595 are open for a more natural sound than some confined studio recording feel. When I'm listening to the same music with the HD-595, I feel like I'm actually there listening to a concert/theater and can really hear the separation of instruments/vocals/sound effects/etc.; it really feels like true surround sound. On the other hand, the Beats doesn't quite have that feel. With the Beats, despite some surround sound, I still know I'm listening with headphones. Don't get me wrong, the Beats doesn't have poor surround sound, but once you experience other high-end headphones, you will notice the difference in depth/separate channels.

Pros:
+ Impressive Bass. Best for bass lovers.
+ Amplifies sound for portable mp3 players/iPod
+ Noise cancellation
+ Stylish/glossy finish design (great packaging/presentation)
+ Leather cushion/material feels high quality/comfortable
+ Headphones can collapse when you put it away
+ Nice solid case for storing the headphones
+ Quick mute button on the right side of the headphone (the Beat logo) by holding it.
+ Headphone cord only on the left side. (Also comes with iPhone, Blackberry, etc speaker black cord)

Cons:
- Could use more depth in surround sound. (compared to Sennheiser, there's more surround sound with the HD-595, as you'll be able to distinguish different instruments/beats as separate channels/different directions)
- Requires two AAA and you must turn on the headphone switch ON. Forgetting to turn the switch off can waste the battery. Headphones will NOT run without batteries.
- Too expensive. (like any other Monster Products)

Overall, if you absolutely love bass and listen to mostly hip-hop/rap/rock; noise-canceling; made for traveling; then these headphones are for you. However, if you want overall balanced sound, greater depth/surround sound concert/theater feel, then I highly recommend the Sennheiser HD-595 (not to mention, it's about half the price cheaper now than what I paid for it).
