Revisiting Beats by Dre

2016-12-03
hey guys this is Austin so there are some new beats by dre headphones now that might not sound exciting on its own however take a look around back you'll see there's something a little different these are 130 dollars for headphones that's still kind of expensive or when you consider that most beats are two three four hundred dollars these guys are actually a little bit more affordable so if you guys remember Apple actually bought beats by dre a couple years ago and these are some of the first headphones that have actually come out that are made by Apple change the way you hear sound so see about that I am a little bit skeptical so you guys probably know the beats by dre have a reputation typically there are a lot more bass heavy and maybe not the greatest value for the dollar interesting carrying case I guess it says beats EP on it so that should do come in a couple colors so this is a blue model which actually kind I think looks cool so even though Apple owns beats by dre now you're actually still getting a standard 3.5 millimeter headphone jack because courage you know they feel pretty nice we're getting actual metal here everything is nicely padded the ear cups do look a little small it just so happens that I have my color matching Google pixel phone here I think it's only natural that we start with a little bit of dream yeah they sound like beats um there's definitely a lot of bass involved which is not really a surprise and honestly I think a lot of people do prefer sand bass the mids are definitely subdued though that's that's definitely sort of a beats characteristic of the headphones but I don't hate it man there's so much low end though it does kind of overpower okay so these actually are a bit better than I expected but to actually properly compare them I have two of my other favorite pairs of headphones so first of all I have the gray toe as our 80 ease these are actually probably my favorite pair of headphones around so they're a little bit more of a specialized pair of headphones first of all I think they look awesome with the retro styling but more importantly they're a really nice sounding open back pair of headphones so the idea is with an open back headphone is that you're gonna get a little more of a wider sound you have a little more soundstage and typically it's a little bit more detail on the high end but the downside is pretty much everyone can hear exactly what your list - that is where these status audio CB ones come in so you guys have probably seen me talking about these a couple times and videos however especially considering that they're closed back headphones they sound incredible yeah you see B ones they're no joke so this is a much more neutral sound so while they're a little bit more bassy than something that the Sr 80s they don't even come close to the beats over because it's a more neutral sound I actually really liked using these for things like video editing sure it's not like a completely flat studio monitor but it's a really nice blend of pretty much anything sounds at least good on these so we've got a lot of headphones here we've got some phones we got this this looks like a little bit of a disaster right what I don't know is really what are the strengths and weaknesses of each one and more importantly are the beats which are slightly more expensive than these pairs actually worth it okay so after listening to all three of these pairs of headphones for a little while I think there's some really clear differences and reasons why you might want to pick up any of them so start with we have the CB ones these are still some of my favorites and if I had to pick one pair of headphones to listen all of my music on it would be these there's solid padding here you can fold them up and while not a huge fan of the gold color these are easily the most comfortable pair of headphones here to listen to for a long time and the best part is these are actually the cheapest did eighty dollars on the other end we have the great o SR ates now I will have no shame admitting that I am a huge fan boy for these headphones Anila did look cool my opinion and sure they're not the most comfortable but the sound is just unique where the SR 80s really shine is in the high end so it's incredibly clear and honestly the music just sounds detail there's very little muddiness which is definitely something you can find especially on the beats however there's not a ton of bass and honestly for some types of music such as hip-hop they're okay but they do fall flat and falling flat is something that the beats do not do this is a very paunchy a very rich a very warm sound now some people will not like this and of course music is a thing that is very much based on your own personal preference so for certain types of music such as hip hop which is kind of beats by dre hip hop yeah it makes sense these sound good compared to the Gredos they are nowhere near as detailed and compared to the CB ones you're getting a much more honest a a muddy sound but certain tracks do not sound is clean as they do on the statuses personally I don't think these are going to pull me away from the Gredos and the statuses however whether you like the look of them whether they like that warm sound for $130 the beats EPS are not bad headphones but of course music is all about personal preference so I'm curious which one of these headphones would you go for definitely be sure to let me know in the comments below I have course we'll have links to all these headphones in the description anyway guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one
