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

Hi Janet
I bought a pair of Beats on-ear headphones a couple of months ago, and I
love them. The on-ear variety come as Bluetooth or wired, and I went for
the latter because I want to use them across all devices including my hifi
system. The cable has up and down volume on it which works when connected
to your iOS device, but obviously not if connected to anything other than
Apple gear. The nice thing is that the cable is detachable which means it
can be replaced. The end that goes into your device is angled, known I
think as a banana plug?
The Beats on-ear are really comfortable with good padding and a nice
sound.
They aren't cheap though at £169 for the wired pair. But they are small
enough to carry as they fold down. The cups fold and the whole thing fits
nicely into a case you get with them. They also come in a few colours to
match the new range of iPods.
I hope this helps?
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi Jackie
please can you give me a little more information about beats headphones?
I
won't go into too much detail but I find it very hard to get a pair of
headphones that suit my ears.

0was The OtterBox Defender also has a plastic plate with a very well sprung
0was belt clip on the back that you can optionally attach to the rear of the
0was case. I put this on when I am wearing trousers or a skirt that doesn't
0was have pockets. I love this case even though it is bulky. Not sure I
0was would
0was use any other type now or in the future.

You can also have an extra glass protector put on over the screen. This
protects the screen without making the phone really bulky. I do agree
the otter box is probably the best protection but the iPhone 6 is quite
big with an otter box on it.
The extra glass protector certainly worked when my daughter dropped her
phone.

Hi Mike,
I agree with the case recommendations of Eleanor and Jackie.
I would like to mention 3 criteria which I think are essential in a good
iPhone case.
1. Screen Protection--It is very important to have screen protection in
addition to a film type screen protector. Something more substantial is
required to provide ultimate protection.
2. Complete enclosure--I think that the back, all side, top and bottom
of
the device need to be enclosed. This is provided with the case
recommended, but is also present in most other cases.
3. Raised Bezel--This is the surround of the cases opening which is
raised so that when the phone is laid on its front, the screen doesn't
touch the surface at all. The raised bezel creates a space between the
phone's screen, and any surface it may be laid upon.
The case recommended meets all of the criteria mentioned, but I thought
it may be helpful to point out the above information as you could then
evaluate other cases.
Personally, I have found leather wallet style cases to be very good, and
they also usually meet the above criteria.
However, you need to make sure the closing latch on wallet cases is
substantial, some are loose and allow the wallet to open un-expectedly.
Kind regards,
Niall

would rather that than do any more damage as I unfortunately had a

earlier this year where the phone had to be replaced, and could have
done
with the OtterBox at that time!!
You can get OtterBox Defender cases from Amazon, roughly "20.

Hello folks,
I have done what I once swore I'd never do and bought a second-hand
iPhone 5s. Didn't get on with my Android Sony Experia.
It currently has no case. Does anybody have any recommendations for a
case for an iPhone 5s which will afford the greatest protection from
drops, carrying around in pockets etc? No Miffy or Hello Kitty jibes
please concom)
