I got beats studio wireless headphone. First I thought maybe bluetooth (SCO Codec in Mac) make my headphone sound bad but even when I connect headphone with it's red wire to my laptop still it sounds like a cheap headphone. Classical music is like coming from under water. I have a Samsung phone and with that I got a free in-ear headphone. When I play same music with my free in-earphone I hear perfectly clear impressive audio inside my head. I give it an 8 from 10. beats studio wireless is like 6 from 10.
 
I never had any other headphone than my Samsung in-earphone, maybe this creepy quality is a normal thing for over-the-ear headphones. is it?
 
Also another problem is that when I play loud songs (not really loud) I can hear parasite! Is there anyway to fix headphone from failing? Because if I turn headphone off and on for several times and play same file again sometimes problem is gone!

I have to agree with cel4145.
 
This sound issue is most likely the Beats headphones in general.
 
I would suggest looking at other bluetooth headphones on the market like Sony MDR-1ABT, V-Moda CFW's & Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless for example.

I tried to update the headphone and now it doesn't even work! just blinking LED light is all i have.
 
guys I'm going to return this flashy junk. now i hate over-the-ear headphones forever. despite beats is crap but still in-ear headphones sound so much more real to me and also they are much more comfort for long use. it is like my brain plays notes but with over-the-ear i hear from a third party and some quality is lost in transit and i hear incoming packets in a cave.
 
is there a really good wireless in-ear headphone with bluetooth connection and powerful ANC that sound better than my wired Samsung in-earphone? please make a suggestion for a comfort model on sennheiser. I mostly listen to classical music and beats studio on that genre was a joke.

Don't let one bad experience turn you off over here. There are some great ones out there. Are you stuck with Bluetooth general you get better sound quality with wired headphones.


+1

The best wired headphones for the money are almost always better than the best bluetooth ones.

Beats is tuned for rap music, with tons of extra bass, so regardless of the value or build quality, it definitely won't be the headphone for classic music. You should buy Beats just for the looks anyway, it's only a fashion statement.

guys i don't care about some money. if sennheiser momentum 2.0 wireless M2AEBT gives me a better sound than a good in-ear wired headphone like my samsung earpuds then i will buy it but i don't think that happen...
 
i like bluetooth because it gives me freedom that makes the experience more beautiful but with wired headphone i am locked ...

There are plenty bluetooth headphones out there like:
 
- Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless Over-Ear
- V-Moda Crossfade Wireless
- Sony MDR-1ABT
 
These are just a few that I recommend for just bluetooth headphones.
 
But if are wanting good sound quality, then I do recommend wired.
 
You could also look into IEM's such as the following.
 
It all depends on the sound signature you are after.

Seems to me he is looking for clean, detailed and transparent sound.

I would recommend trying these:

Keep them in brand new condition as you demo them, and you can return them if you don't like them. You might find, like many of the rest of us here on Head-Fi, that the better sound of an excellent headphone more than makes up for the fact that they are wired. :)

are you saying that if i buy Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless Over-Ear then i won't get a better sound than my free in-ear samsung headphone that gives me 8/10 ?
 
the headphone seems to have bluetooth 4 that gives as much bandwidth that a wire does however my laptop have bluetooth 2.1 + EDR that in file transfers with mobile phones gives 100-200 Kbps .
 
i hate wire. are you saying that just because my laptop don't have a new bluetooth chipset i have no luck on bluetooth headphones?

Not sure how you got that out of what everyone said. No, one is saying that.
