what's going on guys this is Jonathan here with tech fist lunch and dinner bringing you the unboxing and review of the beats by dre studio Edition headphones now if you take a closer look at the retail package on the back side you guys can see we get a preview of what these studios look like on the bottom left-hand side we get the studio stamp as well as the monster stamp on the bottom right hand side now the box is actually going to slip open from there we're going to get greeted by a white beats by dre enclosure and let's go to open it up and see what's inside so you guys can see right here we get an airline adapter in case you guys want to take this on a trip additionally we actually get an iPhone / BlackBerry cable this has a built-in microphone to answer calls and of course we get the monster cable which measures in at 1.3 meters we also get 1/8 to quarter inch adapter which comes in handy you might need that and additionally you would get the batteries in here but I already put them in the headphones now they were kind enough to include a monster cleaning cloth in case you want to get all those requirements off your newly purchased headphones onto the literature we get a Quick Start Guide and all the warranty information now these headphones retail for two $99.99 so of course you're going to want to keep them protected they include a very cool touring case and from there you guys can see exactly how these fold up it makes it really easy and convenient to throw in a bag or take on a trip or anything like that now as we get closer to the actual look and design of these headphones you guys can see the beats by dre logo stamps right at the top now I specifically chose white because from what I've heard the black tends to draw fingerprints like crazy and that would make sense it is a gloss finish but the positive to that is that it's a scratch resistant gloss now these actually include a very cool mute feature so if you kind of want to hear what's going on outside your headphones without taking your headphones off you have that option so you guys can see the ear cushions right here they're very comfortable very flexible so maybe you have like a George Lopez sized giant head they're going to contour to your head and make sure they're fitting comfortably you can actually wear these for a long period of time without hurting like I mentioned these run off triple-a batteries so little slide pops open you guys can see where you pop them in there now one of the negatives to these headphones was that the batteries didn't last that long it wasn't horrible but it wasn't anything great by any means now jumping back to one of the positives from these headphones you actually get a separate detachable audio cable as you guys can see how it inserts right here now why that's important maybe your headphone cable goes bad all you got to do is replace the cable instead of replacing the headphone so that's a huge plus now further expanding on the cable it's actually tangle free which is way cool I don't know how annoying that is to have your cord all bunched up and of course with monster would get a gold-plated tip and I actually loved the fact that it's angled it really makes it easy going into your iPhone or iPod or any mp3 player for that matter now to the most important part of this review is how do these damn things sound so I was actually really impressed the bass is phenomenal that's what stood out most to me and one thing compared to the solos is you actually don't have to crank these to get a well balanced sound overall you get a lot of separation between instruments and it really doesn't matter what genre you listen to hip hop R&B acoustic rock metal it's all going to have a huge well-balanced sound with lots of bass but not too much bass at the same time and I want to make one note although these are called Studios I wouldn't recommend these for mixing in the studio they're a little bit colored and they don't actually give you a flat representation of the sound now there's any drawbacks to these headphones it's the fact that they're a little bit pricey and they bleed like crazy and I don't mean bleed like you stab them and they're oozing blood everywhere it's the fact that the music leaks through and they can almost be like little mini speakers if you turn them up loud enough so that's not necessarily a good thing now they do keep the music and the noise from the outside from coming in but they are loud they do definitely bleed through but they do look fantastic they sound fantastic like I said there's a couple drawbacks but overall I would recommend these maybe if you can pick them up for about 270 if you find them on sale that would be a good deal so hope you guys enjoy this review and as always I will see you guys later
