iBeats by Dre review-8/10

Design

The main selling point of this pair of headphones is its design. The metal build and red wire help it to standout from the pack. The pint of purchase for most people will probably be the style and fashion factor of the headphones. At a price of around £80 for the iBeats they are not cheap. i found that they slipped out of my ears fairly easily, so  those of you looking to wear them whilst running should stay well away. The i beats are available in white and black editions, both of which look equally as good in my view. Overall i feel that the motto "style over substance" has been applied to these haedphones. they look good but are not very practicle.

Sound quality

Listening to music with heavy bass is a joy with these headphones. Dre beats are renound for the clairity and bass, the i beats are no exeption. Some music sounded drowned out at times with the vocals becoming tiny in comparison to  the base, but thats just a small complaint. Background noise is slightly isolated by these headphones, but those looking for 75% or more isolation of noise should look elsewhere. Overall the sound quality of these headphones is amazing and well worthy of the price.

Conclusion

Overall these headphones are great for those who want to standout from the crowd whilst having great sound quality. there unique design makes them a fashion statement aswell as an accesory but i can't help thinking that the solo beats hd would be a better choice as they are more robust and have superior sound quality for only £30 more,I think that these are the best in ear headphones for their market, but for those of you who dont mind wearing headphones, the solo beats HD would be a better choice.
