Beats By Dre has updated its headphone line beats by dre black friday with the new Studio, an active noise cancelling model that improves on its predecessor in many ways. At $299, however, you are still paying for Dr Dres name and style and sound that is tweaked to fit modern (read loud and bass heavy) tastes. Find out if these cans truly deliver. Available in black, white, red, or blue, the Beats Studio continues rapper/producer Dr Dres line of hip hop, high style headphones. At 9.2 ounces, the cans are significantly lighter than the original Studio headphones (14.1 ounces). They are also lighter than the Logitech UE 6000 (9.7 ounces), though the Bose QuietComfort 15 is a featherlike 6.8 ounces.

Having gone out of style when smaller technology was developed, large headsets like these transformed into a niche product that was more expensive but produced better sound quality. Beats by Dre blew into this space and quickly took over the market, not necessarily with sound engineers, but with casual music listeners. Audiophiles, those hobbyists in constant pursuit of the purest sound, describe Beats by Dre as having good, but not great, sound quality attached to an expensive stylized shell. The headphones are certainly better than the ones that come BeartBeats black friday in your iPhone box, but if Beats are disproportionately expensive based on their quality, why do so many people listen to them?

How cool is a set of Titanium Beats by Dre inspired by Unknwn and signed by Lebron James? They are so cool that only 6 of them were created with Lebron being the proud owner of the first pair. The other 5 pairs were offered by the Unknwn store in Miami in a unique raffle. You purchase your first ticket and then can earn additional tickets for each $50 purchased in the store. But wait a minute. You are not winning these awesome headphones in the raffle, you win the right to be the first to purchase a set. That is right, you still have to pay for the headphones and be in the store at the time of the raffle ready to pay.

Despite the headphones lighter weight than the original Studio headphones, the new version does not feel flimsy. The soft leather earpads now match the headband color, and the cans retain the folding headband so they fit nicely into the included hardshell case. The glossy exterior picks up fingerprints easily, but that is not noticeable unless you get one of the darker colors, and the package includes a cleaning cloth. Beats By Dre StudioThe Studios leather earpads are very comfortable and let less sound leak out than the previous version of the Studio headphones. Although the oblong pads are soft and the headband tension is excellent, these headphones do not provide the roomy cave like experience that the Bose Quiet Comfort do, nor are they sculpted like the Logitech UE6000, which feel like they give ears a bit more space.

Rather than Dre losing his audience with a bad record, he has been very careful about what he releases under his own name while keeping himself in the loop, whether he is contributing guest verses or sitting behind the boards for other rappers. These decisions show Dr Dre to be a savvy marketer and a case study in protecting a mature brand. Dres Beats seem to have the perfect ingredients of a thrown back look mixed with a sleek modern fashion (as well as function) that keeps this product at the top of the industry. Even the advertisements hold true to the blend. Released in September, this Beats commercial features Eminem and his dealsbeatsbydreblackfriday.com single, Berzerk (which samples Billy Squier and the Beastie Boys).
