[size=14.0pt]Quoting the Beats Pro webpage…[/size]
[size=14.0pt]“[/size][size=13.0pt]The Headphones Used To Mix In Every Major Studio.”[/size]
[size=14.0pt]“[/size][size=13.0pt]Beats Pro headphones are designed for sound engineers, musicians, and those who take sound seriously. They’re the headphones that artists like Will.i.am use in the studio, and are designed to deliver the same level of emotion and power the artist originally intended.”[/size]
[size=13.0pt]“Beats Pro headphones sound so good because they put back the quality lost in modern-day file compression. That means you’re really hearing music the way it was originally heard by the artist in the studio.”[/size]
[size=13.0pt]The above aforementioned quotes from their website, is exactly what I would call “hoodwinking” the public. Perhaps if they would specify exactly what music it is that they would be best for, and not just making a blanket statement about putting quality back into music. For some recordings, it’s adding something that was never there in the first place. This is where I find fault with the marketing they do and misrepresentation of their products. With that I will say that every company can, and does interpret their products a certain way and can market them however they want, but would hopefully have somewhat of a conscience when describing their product. I also doubt that any self-respecting sound engineer is mixing, tracking, or monitoring with these in any studio. That is unless they are making a rap album, or something that is mainly BASS[/size][size=13pt], even then that is highly unlikely[/size][size=13pt]…in most cases studio monitors are used for those applications. I guess I just have a problem with the overall picture they paint about their headphones. I do however really like the way the pro’s look and feel…I love the materials, fit and finish. I just don’t want little subwoofers sitting on my head. [/size][size=13pt]To some degree, I do understand where you are coming from though. To each there own, you don’t like it don’t buy it. But, that’s what something extremely popular does, it makes waves, it has fans and haters alike a[/size][size=13pt]nd with that the pro or anti beats arguments will never die.
