Without being an official sponsor for the event, Beats sent their headphones to the athletes directly and was rewarded with hordes of athletes showcasing their gear on the international stage.
The massive exposure, of course, contributed to a huge sales spike that reinforces how purchasing behavior is influenced by the association the buyer makes with the product. In fact, the brand has positioned themselves as a premium brand with a corresponding price tag. At first glance, this might be a deterrent to many but premium prices imply a certain degree of quality.
Owning good quality and pricey products also sends signals about a person that hints at their status. The same principle applies here.
Moreover, Beats has been customizing some of the most expensive headphones for the ultra rich. Millennials have been shown to emphasize more on self-expression and the concept of being uniquely yourself is constantly beaten no pun intended into their heads at every turn. Beats headphones cater to this desire as their bright colors and stylish designs are able to infuse a pop of personality that sets one apart from others.
The collaboration between Beats and Balmain combines chic design characteristic of the fashion powerhouse with music and further reinforces the importance self-expression plays in the popularity of Beats headphones.
Take refuge at will. The world is filled with wolves and praise and ploys. But the kids who can shut off their ears, rise above all that noise. Evocative storytelling delivered through their ad campaigns are also examples of how Beats sends strong brand messages using relatable concepts such as challenging the status quo and overcoming adversity.
In the AboveTheNoise ad , scenes of a young boy having a bad experience at his first soccer practice match were shown. The voiceover in the clip continues in his deep husky storytelling voice about how this boy belongs to a group of children who could shut off their ears.
Silence the praise and silence the fears. Rising above it all with the help of some handy dandy noise-cancelling Beats headphones. A reveal towards the second half of the ad shows the young boy growing up to be world-class soccer player, Neymar Jr. Selling emotion pays when your audience identifies and believes in the messages the brand is trying to convey. Not only does it relate to Dr. Recent reviews check these out: here , here and here of Beats headphones have been pretty positive with most of it focusing on the Beats Studio 3.
While quite a few functions such as adaptive noise cancellation and better sound were already being observed in the Studio 2. Looks like Beats is finally making a legit effort to create a better product that justifies its price. With this steady improvement, there looks to be more reason than ever to try out or stick to the brand. In fact, this scathing review here is rather entertaining.
However, since no one can ever please the world, the bottom line behind getting a pair of Beats still lies in the reason you are picking Beats. I had a pair of beat studio 2 wired and i only used them for 3 months today as i went to un fold my beats one side snaps off and exposed the cord and complitly broke them I am very mad because I am at school and music is the only thing that gets me threw the day and I did not bring a backup pair of headphones if your looking for good sound quolity i would recomend these on the down side they have a very flimsy design if you want beats because you heard how reliable they were and strong dont get these ones would not recomend.
Beats under Apple is a different beast all together and while Beats have garnered a largely negative rep by many, its important to be objective and evaluate the Beats today without prejudice. Beats under Apple have revamped itself and transformed itself from merely an accessory to a real option in the headphone market with its tremendous battery-life, easy of pairing, excellent wireless range, above-average noise-cancellation and a more balanced sound signature while keeping the stylish design of Beats.
Totally agreed. However, the hive mind is strong with regards to mainstream consumer audio products like Beats and Bose. Sometimes this meant that the quiet music would be clipped completely silent. Has anyone experienced anything like this with the headphones?
It failed to take long for users to figure out the superb fee Audio Technica supplied at a far greater inexpensive fee variety. I have listened with a bunch of Beats headphones, but the one that I have purchased are the Mixr David Guetta model. As for presentation, they have fallen under the bandwagon of making unboxing a new product a fun experience. Look, I get it. A flashy product needs a big bright bow on top for Cindy Lou Who to open on Christmas day.
By putting these headphones in a fun box for everyone to open up, the experience suddenly feels personal.
Then, it gets viewers to see how fun it was to tear open that box and realize they want to do it themselves. And so the cycle continues. Here is the final nail in the coffin before we move onto tech talk; they are fragile. My goodness, how can something that pricey fall apart so easily?
Are you serious? Show the world exactly how good these headphones are. But I will do my best to explain why these headphones are a mistake in audio terms. In short, this is what you hear when wearing Beats. The X axis is showing the frequencies, from 20Hz to 20kHz which is what the human range is. The idea is that the line in this graph for all headphones and speakers should be as flat as possible. Do you see the problem here? For one, this is not flat.
The mid range 1kHz — 5kHz is concerningly low, and everything above 5kHz is a hot mess. Why do those frequencies matter? Well, the human voice is within that range. Why mess around with the frequencies that involve one of the most important instruments in music? Finally, have you noticed that everything from 50Hz — Hz is consistent and the loudest part? Take a wild guess what instruments sit around there.
These headphones are nothing more than a jizz stain to all musicians and listeners because all they are doing is boosting the bass. And let me tell you something, music is not all about bass. The bass is almost always the root note of all chords. It keeps a song moving without becoming too dominant.
You can like black and white filters on your selfies and put ketchup on your fries all you want, but wearing Beats means you are not listening to music the way it was meant to be heard. You are not listening to the song the way the engineers and musicians want you to hear it. Just like with iPhones or Androids, chocolate or vanilla, Marvel or DC, it all comes down to what you like.
Dre uses these himself. I would bet money that Dr. But who would lie on the internet? So when it comes to finding the right pair of headphones, figure out what your budget is and do some research.
Use a few reference songs that you know really well and take a listen using the headphones you are interested in. If the song sounds accurate, they might be the one.
If something sounds wrong or unbalanced, keep looking. But these are just my opinions. I know there are many people who would disagree with this list, and might even disagree about my comments towards Beats. If so, enjoy the trash headphones! Without any hard evidence why should anyone believe you???
They sound amazing!!! Dre wore it nd ud actually buy it. I went to school for music and I actually prefer beats, the quality is great, while yes, the bass I will admit is a little much, but regardless of that they are great headphones. Head and shoulders better headphones than beats in every way. Beats are garbage and you need to listen to a proper soundscape headphone to train your ears back to the right way, the way the artist intended you to hear it.
A person who has never eaten in a higher quality restaurant with fresh produce will claim that the worn down and smelly PUB in the bad part of town is to die for, even though they serve everything frozen and slightly out of date. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…. Oh boy…. The only way someone could justify liking beats, is if they feel like an idiot for paying Soo much for garbage fanboy head trash, and want to save face.
Do any research on quality headphones that have good sound, and you will find the same as what they stated above. A Chinese headphone like Bluedio or a budget friendly headphone like The plantronics BB Go will perform a times bettr. Fukk fanboys who only Listen hiphop on their overpriced piece of turd.
I got really sensitive hearing and after trying beats pro by 1 month I sended them back and took my money. Sound quality is incomparable to sennheisers. Sound has a great bass but is not pure. They sound dirty. And fanboys who doesnt even wash their ears just wont hear difference. And this fantastic bass is pushing ear honey even further into their ear holes.
Tell me you wasted money on trash headphones without telling me you wasted money on trash headphones. I always knew Beats to be overpriced, but to avoid ignorance gave a pair a try.
I thought they looked cool, noise cancelling was amazing, and were surprisingly comfy. Then I played a song. I was in disbelief. A few years later I actually opened up a pair of these for a friend who had one side with no sound I have since fixed many with this issue and there was a wire a sliver larger than a needle use to carry sound. It had become disconnected from its solder point, and being as small as it was, I can see why!
If you are a superficial hype beast that only listens to mainstream pop and rap, then yes, this is the headset for you. Otherwise, almost anything is better for the money. Joe Discola is spot on. I would compare them to headphones costing no more than 50 bucks. I first purchased Beats Studio Wireless 3, but I thought to myself there was something missing. Then I auditioned the Sony xtra bass wireless. I was immediately sold! There is absolutely no comparison between those two.
The Beats bass sounds bloated, with the highs and midrange almost missing. The Sonys have a deeper, truer bass, that if I close my eyes I swear that I am hearing the performance live. Before anyone settles on the Beats, please do yourselves a favor and listen to others! I got Beats for Christmas last year and they literally stopped charging a month after I got them. Agreed … I have bought many beats headphones, and all have ended up to be pieces of shit in the end.
A consumer should not have to consistently reset the devices, to get them to pair properly. The answer—yes, they generally do—might be surprising to doubters. Beats headphones tend to have a consistently bass-heavy sonic signature that fans of certain types of music, such as hip-hop and dance, may appreciate more than others. But most of the models we tested deliver satisfying sound. But a second question, whether they are worth the money, is a bit more complicated.
In our just-published new headphone Ratings , several Beats models did very well. In fact, in the noise-canceling category, the Beats by Dr. Dre urBeats didn't fare as well. These earbud-style earphones had only good sound--while fine, the sound quality is below that of many lower-priced models in our Ratings.
Bottom line. You're probably paying more for the Beats name, especially for models without active noise cancellation. In almost almost every category there are lower-priced models that offer the same, and sometimes better, sound quality. So if sound quality is your only consideration, choose one of those models rather than a Beats set. But in almost every category of consumer goods, there are some brands that command a higher price because they have developed an allure that transcends their component costs, Apple being an obvious example.
If design, aesthetics, and personal identification with a brand are important to you as a consumer, then Beats headphones may well be worth the extra money, provided you find their sonic signature compatible with the style of music you most enjoy. Most of Beats headphones we tested can deliver very good to excellent sound, so you'll have to determine whether the value of these other elements are commensurate with the price you're being asked to pay.
