    Pros: Well, let's start with the obvious.

    A. These are Beats, and you're getting the brand here.
    B. These look sleek and new - an excellent design.
    C. Nice, folding design, with solid case.
    D. Fairly Comfortable

    Cons: Aaaaand here comes a deluge of bad.

    A. Truly awful sound.
    - Weak treble
    - Murky bass
    - Undefined mids
    B. Noise canceling causing an unbearable, perpetual, hissing noise.

    Summary: Basically, when you buy these headphones, you're paying for the shiny looks and little logo on the sides. They sound atrocious. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I can tell you this right now - if your music sounds murky, with unclear, undefined mids and painfully weak treble, your headphones suck. Also, the noise canceling makes this really noticeable hissing sound, and it is a pain to put up with when you're using these. I'm not one of those guys to rag on Beats all the time - I have a pair of Beats Mixrs, and I think they sound great. But frankly, these headphones just sound so flat out bad, I wound't want anyone to have to go through the pain of wasting a few hundred bucks for such disappointing sound. If you want some seriously great noise-canceling headphones, go Bose QC's or Audio Technica ATH-ANC7B's.
