Dont know if this was posted yet, but while looking at the Apple Store, i saw this:

Monster Beats In-Ear Headphones by Dr. Dre - Apple Store (U.S.)



Monster Beats In-Ear Headphones by Dr. Dre - $149.95
Hear what the artist hears and listen to the music the way you should. Beats Tour reveals the full sound of today’s digital music, including sonically demanding hip hop, rock, and R&B.

No more snarls and knots with tangle-free cable design
Precision response thanks to low mass, wide bandwidth driver
Sound-isolating eartips in multiple sizes provide a perfect fit to seal out noise
Duraflex protective cable jacket for maximum tangle resistance and durability
MicroStrand conductors to extend frequency response
Patented magnetic FluxTube for more natural audio reproduction
24K gold contacts that ensure maximum signal transfer and corrosion resistance
Rugged protective case for superior protection.

Overview
Beats Tour deliver sound so big, you would think you had speakers in your ears. Newly developed in-ear speaker technologies reproduce clear natural vocals, detailed highs, and deep powerful bass without distortion. Wired with high-performance Monster Cable, Beats Tour delivers sound performance never before achieved in any earphone.
Beats Tour also features the world’s first tangle-free earphone cable. While earphones are convenient, taking the time to untangle them is not. Beats Tour features Monster’s new innovative headphone cable that not only sounds great, but is completely tangle-free. So untangle less, and listen more.
World’s First Tangle-Free Cable
Normally Monster is all about the sound. But when it comes to the earphones people use everyday, they had to get rid of the annoying ritual of untangling your earbuds everytime you use your iPod. After ten years of research, they finally figured it out. Monster’s patent pending flat cable design with Duraflex jacket simply does the trick.
Hear What You’ve Been Missing
The audiophiles at Monster proudly present their newly developed ultra-fast speaker design delivering the full sound and details of today’s digital music with great clarity, natural vocals, and bass punch.
Get Low Get Low
It took Monster more than three years to develop the technology that gives Beats Tour bass so big, you’d think there’s a subwoofer in your head. It’s deep, club-like bass. Dr. Dre would have it no other way.
In-Ear Noise Isolation
Sealed in-ear design reduces external noise for a better music experience than traditional earbuds.
Play it Loud with Full Power
Most earphones don’t have the power to play music at the volume some music lovers prefer. Beats Tour large high-efficiency drivers and magnetic technology play loud without distortion. Hear everything no matter how loud the rest of the world is.
Monster XLN High-Performance Headphone Cable
Monster’s patented Magnetic flux tube and microstrand construction provides clear no loss audio and reduced interference to Beats Tour speaker drivers.
Designed for Apple Sound Check
The Sound Check feature on your iPod balances playback levels so all your music tracks play at a consistent volume. Beats Tour’s high-efficiency drivers ensure you can hear every note.
Custom Fit
Beats Tour includes three earbud cone tips and two triple layered tips for the most comfortable, secure fit, and best sound possible.
Protective Case
Compact rugged case for safe storage of Beats Tour and additional tips.

I've looked at these in store at Future Shop. The cable isn't as large as a SATA cable but is definitely larger than normal earphone cables which may help it do what they claim, not get tangled up.

My concern with this headset was the shear size of the headphone itself which looks to be significant in comparison to most IEM's. I have read some reviews on the headset and they basically confirmed my fear in regards to the way they fit. Also the reviews I found had troubles with the sound signature of the phones as they really are designed for for the type of music Dr. Dre makes and the reviewers found thery weren't very good for anything else.

Bought a pair for a gift. Took an opportunity to listen and returned them. Stock phones from Apple sound better in my opinion.

You are judging people by avatar and location name? What? Is he not entitled to his own views? Also what's wrong with anime?
