Hi Jackie,
You’ve got a nice collection of headsets by the sound of it! *no pun
intended* I currently use the Bose QC20 and they’re extremely good for
blocking surrounding noise. The aware feature is very useful too.
Best,
Amro

Hi Amro
Bet your kids got wacky colours? I just went for black. I couldn't care
less about the branding, I liked them for comfort, noise cancelling while on
the move, and sound. They will never beat my Beyers, but then I wouldn't
wear those outside anyway! I also have a pair of Sennheisers for use while
out and about, and while they are great, I prefer the Beats for blocking out
the drone of the bus.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi Jackie, sure. A lot of people are happy with the Beats. My teenage son
insists that they are best when it comes to bass, for instance. Personally,
they’re not for me. So yeah, it’s subjective.
Best,
Amro

Hi Amro
They want an extra ?100 for the Bluetooth version, and I didn't see the need
to go that far. I like these headphones for comfort, size when on the move,
and the sound is really good. I prefer them to Bose which, in my view, are
vastly over-rated and expensive. But this again is subjective isn't it?
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

In fact the Bluetooth model can be used with cable too. Re style, I
personally think they are teenager looking. My two boys have one and
they won't hear of any other make; on the contrary I won't touch them.
I share Jonathon's opinion; I'd very much rather spend my money on a
proper headphones. Having said that, they felt comfortable to wear
when I tried them on.

Just a few things to be aware of it you are thinking about Beats
headphones:
1: When you buy a pair of Beats, you're paying for style and branding.
If that's what you want, then go for it.
2: The build cost for a $199 pair of Beats headphones is just under
$20. The rest is brand name and a big fat cheque to a rapper.
3: There are an extraordinary large amount of fake beats out there;
even a hifi mag doing a test didn't realise they had a fake pair. That
said, when they got a genuine pair, they still could hardly tell the
difference!
4: Over a third of the weight of a pair of Beats headphones is just
lumps of metal designed to make it feel like a more premium product.
5: Going back to point #1, you will never find a pair of Beats being
used in a studio or by an audio engineer.
Have a quick google--there are plenty of review sites where you can
find lists of 10 headphones with a better sound at half the price of a
pair of Beats.
All of that said, if they feel and sound good to you for the price, go
ahead.
But just bear in mind they're a budget headphone with some added lumps
of metal and a heck of a good marketing team :were
