what's going on everyone is your average consumer and today I have a review for you guys of the beats by dre executives so let's not wasting time let's get right into it and here we have the Beats executives right off the bat it's easy to see that these are the classiest looking pair of headphones that Beats By Dre has come out with but before we get into that let's talk about the case they come in here we have the hard shell carrying case of the executives it's got a pretty simple flat rectangular design and as we give it a look around we can see that it has some of the same accents that the other beats carrying cases have such as the red lining for the zipper it's also got a matte finish that looks and feels pretty nice although it can get some fingerprints as you can see on the back there it's a similar case to the studio's but it has a much flatter design but I'm pretty sure that's due to the executive branding and here's a quick example of why that might matter beats by dre seems to be targeting the more adult crowd with these headphones and the way you carry them seems to be a factor as well as you can see here these fit quite nicely into my work bag I can seamlessly carry it without the excess bulk some other cases might produce and here you'll see how bulky the carrying case of the studios will make my work bag look bees by dre definitely seem like they're trying to cater to the older crowd aka executives with the design of these headphones in case when we get a look inside the case we're greeted by an awkwardly placed pair of executives I'm a fan of the overall design and look of the case but I do have my gripes with it as well the case doesn't have a pouch anywhere on it to store your headphone cables so they're always being pretty loose inside also because of the flat design you'll have to place the headphones in a not so convenient way luckily there's a little diagram inside to always remind you of how you need to place it the hard shell does offer some good protection though so I can't be too mad at that and now the star of the show as I mentioned before the executives are the classiest pair of headphones that Beats has released so far as they're supposed to cater to the adult crowd you don't find any flashy red here let's take a closer look at the right side of these headphones at the top you'll notice the switch that powers these bad boys on and I'm sorry to break it to you guys but without batteries these headphones will not operate this is one of my biggest gripes with the studios and it's unfortunate that they carry this over to the executives on the left side you'll find the latch that opens the door to the battery compartment and what's pretty cool about this compartment is that it doesn't have to twist to be closed or anything it's usually actually uses magnets which is pretty cool on the outside of the ear cups you'll find a nice leather ish finish around the B that is typically red but it's grey in the case of the executives the B on the left side also works as a mute button for your music just like the studio's as you move up the headphones you'll notice the hinges say executive which is almost miserable if you're not looking too closely as we move along to the band you'll note that it only says beats at the top instead of the normal beats by dr. dre the band is very soft on the outside but as you press onto it a little you'll find that it's pretty sturdy inside and this offers some great comfort for long periods of listening moving back down to the headphones we'll get a closer look at the actual ear cups that will be around your ears these are over your headphones so the ear cups will completely circle your ears inside they're made of the same soft material as the band so there's great comfort here for those long listening sessions I can even imagine this material keeping your ears warm in the cold the drivers on these headphones which are pretty much the speakers for those who aren't familiar with the term actually have a portion that protrudes a bit that might cause some discomfort to some although it hasn't bothered me at all also because the headphones are made of an aluminum material you don't have to worry about the ear cups clanking against the actual headphones or anything like that because of this nice little material strip that they put there to kind of stop it from doing that all in all I'm very happy with the comfort build quality and overall design of these headphones but now to talk about the sound quality the sound quality is what you would expect from these headphones as an average these sounded just great to me they offer great clarity and some great bass to go with it although I must say I'm not pleased with the active noise-cancelling feature the headphones give off a loud hissing sound once you turn them on and unfortunately it can sometimes carry over into the music this is quite a bother at times as it can be a bit distracting I'm used to hearing the Hispano is canceling headphones without music but this was a little too loud with and without music now that doesn't mean that these headphones have bad sound quality it simply means that the active noise cancelling is quite loud the bass is still very prominent with these headphones but it's a bit more reserved compared to the base of the studios even as a bass head I wasn't dissatisfied with the amount of bass that was provided I do believe that this is more of a conservative sound that goes with the whole executive theme and not wanting to have a loud attention drawing sound to it speaking of attention drawing these do quite well in the sound leaking department I had a colleague of mine let me know she could hear my music on a train at 50% 75% and 100% volumes and she only slightly heard it at 100% but of course we were on a train so be sure to check out my girlfriend test video if you'd like more information on sound leakage and sound isolation overall I'm very satisfied with the sound quality the DS produced but it's just unfortunate that the active noise-cancelling produce such a loud hiss that bothered me at times so now I'm going to show you guys what it looks like around the neck and when I put it on so this is it around the neck got a good look at how it looks and here is when it's on you see her from the front her hair sides and overall like I said these are a nice looking pair of headphones very nice style I do wish that it came with a black cable though the red just doesn't really go with the whole gray aluminum look and it's it kind of moves away from what they're trying to do with the whole executive look so I do wish it came with the black cable but overall like I said I'm very pleased with these head I just kind of wish that the noise-canceling was it as hissy as it is but overall that's about it for this review guys if you enjoyed it please feel free to give it a thumbs up and feel free to comment and subscribe until the next video guys I'll catch you later the average consumer piece
