Beats by Dre Wireless Headphones user reviews

Pros Easy to pair with any device
Great sound
Long battery life
music controls on the headphones
Can go wireless or use a cable

Cons No padding on headband so a 6hour flight will get uncomfortable

Summary I travel weekly for work and I have used in-ear and over-ear headphones and these are by far the best I have used. These headphones offered exactly what I was looking for, no wires and I can keep my phone in my pocket or charging in my bag but still control volume and track selection from the headphones. I didn't notice and difference using the bluetooth or wire and never noticed any lag in the audio. I use this with my MacBook Air, iPhone 5 and Android Note 2 and each one sounded great. The best setting is to put your music player EQ on Classical and enjoy to the music. I tested distance on the plane and I could get up and go to bathroom and didn't lose signal at all. As a frequent traveler I highly recommend these headphones, the price may be high but look around before you buy I have seen them for $199 and lower so don't throw all your money away.

Pros Wireless
Easy to sync/set up
Comfortable
Foldable(!)
Great bass
Long battery life

Cons Spotty bluetooth connection via bluetooth
Sound quality is worse via bluetooth vs. using an aux cable
Lag in connection: while playing games or watching a movie on the iPhone, the sound lags behind the video.

Summary These are great headphones, but you get the most out of their use (meaning best sound quality) if you use an aux cable--defeats the whole 'wireless' selling point. I entertained returning them but I love the sound so much with the cable that I decided to keep it. Additionally, the wireless bluetooth is amazing when talking on the phone.

Bottom line: If you're getting headphones purely for sound you will want to stay clear from these--especially for the price--but for the functionality of the wireless, when used best, these get the job done.

3.5/5
