2012-02-08
hey guys john here with TLD with an unboxing and review of the beats by dr. dre mixer headphones so we'll start out with the box got a lot of black a little bit of red and a little bit of grey going on towards the top left hand corner we can see the beats by dr. dre logo below that we got the mixer stamp and you can see these are created by David Guetta and to the right of that we got the monster logo on the flipside we had a couple different shots and angles with headphones as well as an overview of all the features now as we move on with the unboxing we get a little box ception going on we've got a box within a box now as far as the box content goes you get quite a bit in here started with the headphones which rub the on ear type not over here these are on your headphones next up you get a beats by dre zip up carrying case it's kind of like a hard styrofoam so it will protect it we then get two different types of audio cables the first being an eighth inch two eighth inch with a built on quarter inch adapter which is nice touch and you get a little coil at the end of this one for increased flexibility the next cable is a straight eighth inch to eighth inch you do have the right angle connector and these do feature control talks you have the built-in microphone so you can answer calls and does control volume up volume down as well as next song previous song beyond that we have the user's guide and warranty we have a naked chick wearing beats pros and everyone say what's up to LeBron next up you get a beats by dre bullseye sticker so you can stamp it on your forehead let people know you paid too much for headphones then you get a cleaning cloth and finally the last of the literature now as far as the headphones themselves they're much better build quality than the solos or the studios for that matter they're almost like the beats pros but in a smaller form factor you get a matte black finish which is nice so you won't get those fingerprints on there as we move towards the top you can see the beats Mixr logo right on the headband this is actually made out of plastic but the side of the headphones towards the ear cups that is made out of aluminum now as far as the ear cups they are padded but after extended periods of listening they can get uncomfortable I do however like the flexibility of these and that's one of the big features are the mixers that they swivel 270 degrees you can also extend these pretty nicely so they will fit most heads unless for some reason you like a huge George Lopez sized head and then the other cool thing is actually the audio connections on these headphones so to begin with I always like a detachable cable that way if something goes wrong with it instead of having to replace the whole set of headphones you just replace that cable and these actually go one step further so you have your main cable which is going to your audio source and the can input on these you can actually plug in a second set of headphones and listen to the same mix which is pretty convenient now at the end of the day no matter how cool the headphones look no matter how many features they have if the sound isn't there none of it matters being that these are $250 knowing that you can get a set of audio technica ath em 50s for basically half the price and they outperform them in every single way shape and form the sound just really isn't there on these headphones or any beats by dre for that matter these are extremely bass heavy and I know some people like that but you miss out on the rest of the music's little nuances vocals sound muffled and muddy and if you listen to music on these and you actually compare them to a set of Sennheiser's AKG s or audio Technica's for that matter there's a ton of great headphones out there it's almost like you take the blanket off speaker and everything becomes clearer you can hear all the definition and you realize that these aren't that great I know some people will argue with me and say these sound amazing but I just want to give you guys honest review and let you know there are better options for much less money out there on the market so if you still want these at the end of the day I'll have a link to them in the description but also post a couple links to better alternative headphones at lower cost so hopefully you guys enjoyed this video and if you did and your film like being awesome make sure to give it a thumbs up if you haven't done so already feel free to subscribe and I will see you guys later you
