Top 10 Christmas Gifts For Men

Yes, it's that time of the year again, when the glistening shades of red and green adorn the peaceful and serene whites. No points for guessing, it is time for Santa to ride his sledge down the lanes! Christmas is one of the most awaited festivals of the year. Celebrated on the 25th of December each year, it marks the advent of holiday season and festive spirit. Christmas time means celebration;
meeting and greeting loved ones and making long lists of gifts to pamper friends and family. People around the world wait for this very special day and begin decorating their homes weeks in advance. Christmas isn't complete without gifts, and to find the appropriate gift takes planning and preparation.

Here are some gift ideas she should be considering. Now if only you can find a way to discreetly slip her this list:

10. Leather
Well, leather has something masculine about it. Leather goods and accessories make best Christmas gifts for men. Did you think of just leather belts and wallets? No, there's more on the list. You can gift men, leather bags - you can choose from laptop bags or haversacks. Or choose a duffel bag, a commander bag or a mobile phone cover in leather. You may like to gift him a combo pack of leather articles; like two belts and a wallet, or a pair of bags (one big, one mid-sized).

9. Bathrobe
The bathrobe is a great gift idea for those of you who love to walk around the house and relax on a Sunday morning in total luxury. Don't you want to be draped in total luxury just before she disrobes you to give you that well-deserved massage? She can get it here.

8. DVD Collection
For guys who enjoy watching movies that teach good famiglia values, from the comfort of their own home. Entire seasons of Game of Thrones, The Wire, The Sopranos or Entourage would all make a guy like this happy. She can find it all here.

7. Shaving Kit
That makes a perfect Christmas gift for men. It typically includes a pre-shave oil, shaving cream, razors and brushes. It might come with an after shave lotion or balm and men's cosmetics. You can choose to add men's skincare products to the kit or even a men's cologne. Gillette, The Art of Shaving and Clinique are some of the good brands to go for.

6. Espresso Machine
We wouldn't expect this from new girlfriends -- typically this kind of outlay will be made if the two of you are living together, so at least she'll be able to enjoy the fruits of the gift too. But for those of you who think this isn't worth it, you're wrong. Freshly made espresso at home is one of life's true pleasures, one we'll never do without again now that we have machines of our own. She can get a great professional grade at-home model

5. Cologne
Smelling good is a good idea no matter what stage of the relationship you're in. Cologne is just as appreciated on the first Christmas together as it is on the fiftieth. The gift of a great scent is a good sign that she wants to turn you into an irresistible man and rip off your clothes because she can't resist inhaling your sexual scent. That, or you just smell bad. She can get it here. Leave the choosing up to her; girls are good at that stuff.

4. Outfits
For fashion-loving men, outfits make best Christmas gifts. You can choose formal shirts, ties or tuxedos. You can buy him a t-shirt and personalize it if you want. Add his photograph or a personal message on the t-shirt. Or paint it yourself if you are good at that! Christmas is the best time to gift him a winter jacket. Or get him a blazer of the brand and color of his choice. In case you do not know his choice of clothing, it is best to use gift vouchers.

3. Apple products
You can choose any piece of technology. An iphone, an ipad, an iPod if he's fond of music or an ebook reader if he loves to read, are some of the gadgets that make good Christmas gifts for men.

2. Sports / Concert Tickets
For any man who's single, divorced, dating, young or old, enjoys sports, and loves to watch his favorite team live. Or, if you're not the sporting type, maybe she can excite you with concert tickets to your favorite rock band.

1. Beats by dre Headphones
These noise canceling headphones are top quality and one of the top christmas gift ideas for him that he will love as a christmas present. These headphones deliver all the clarity, power and deep bass that all the top producers and artists want people to hear.The Beats by Dr. Dre headphones offer a stylish and comfortable design as well as exceptionally crisp audio response. Sound quality is mostly balanced, with warm mids and thumping bass. Included are a nice carrying case and a music-phone-compatible cable.

Why are Beats by Dre headphones so popular?

Nowadays more and more people begin to ask - What brand of headphones has Lady GAGA wore on her ears? The fashionable headphones whirlwind, however, is much stronger than you could imagine. Many stars and stylish people all swagger through the streets in their Beats by dre headphones. Even Monster Company himself has not expected that their products would have become so popular that Kobe Bryant was fined after post-game press conference for wearing his Beats by dre studio headphones which he bought himself.

Since the first released, Beats by dre headphones has been linked to Fashion. Its sound quality is excellent; however, Monster sets an idea and concept to its products that: First it is Fashionable; then it is a pair of Headphones. Usually, people would buy something they do not need just for not being OUT. People use headphones widely in daily life; however, seldom someone will buy headphones just for not being OUT. All Monster wanted was to produce a "Fashionable Product" based on the idea of Fashion.

At first, Monster found a Grammy Awards winner Dr. Dre, discussing how to produce a fashionable headphone product. They finally set their aims in the Hip Hop category. As Hip Hop & Rap is an important branch of nonlocal American fashionable culture, there are many rapper products and Hip Hop & Rap culture consumer goods in America. This is a market full of strong public appeal and easily attracting the youngs to join and get fascinated.Like cars having luxury brands, based on high starting point Monster released its first headphones - Studio, and kept its marketing strategy of Fashion. In view of Dr. Dre's popularity in America, Dre beats studio headphones soon received much attention. And because of its excellent quality and built-in amplifier headphone design, Monster Beats Studio can easily drive iPod - the most popular MP3 player in America. Monster Beats received a lot of praise, and, more and more famous people began to choose Beats Studio as their company. It is not because that Beats Studio is better than that of other brand in the quality aspect, but Studio has been labeled itself Fashion since its beginning. For these famous people, they need to keep themselves fashionable at all times and they need a pair of good quality headphones too; thus, Beats Studio headphones become their choice.
As a fashionable product, it must have a fashionable and unique appearance. As the first product of Monster headset, head-wearing type headphones come to the world. Before the very beats by dre headphones, headphones could be roughly divided into two types: one is high-end professional-grade headphones which are mostly used by people make a career in music, like brand AKG's high-end monitoring headphones; the other type is best quality high-end headphones, what fanciers pursue, such as Sennheiser HD800. Beyond all doubt, these product have a common feature --- splendid acoustic but inconvenient to carry. Other than high-end headphones, there are normal portable headphones which are quite small, and some of which are beautifully designed good looking product, however, still have some gaps in acoustic comparing with those high-end ones.It is scarcely imaginable that someone fashionable wears a pair of big headphones without any fashion elements and wanders through the streets. However, Beats Studio comes at the right moment. First of all, Beats Studio has the moderate appearance, and taking American people' body size into account, dre beats studio has the moderate size. In the respect of wearing, though the built-in amplifier headphone designed Studio is a little heavier than normal headphones, you will not feel tight. As a kind of high quality headphone, Beats by dre studio is very comfortable to wear --- On-Ear memory foam and comfortable feeling leather. The unit shell has been done with high-light-reflecting processing. Though this process is challenge - easily to get fingerprint, Beats by dre sudio's light-reflecting is very skillfully as it is not reflecting light like a mirror and we will not easily notice that the shell gets fingerprint actually.     

Secondly, beats has designed a simple and easy-remember Logo for its own brand headphones. Complying with those mainstream fashionable consumer goods such as McDonald's and Nike, they all have their won outstanding Logo as their company logo. These easy-remember logo make people tell these branded merchandise from others on the street or among similar products easily. In contrast, some other main world headphone brands, for example, Sennheiser and Audio-Technica, lack such a sharp logo.Last but not least, in the respect of wire design which Monster does best, their designers also stopped the unique branded design, for example, the above optional high-rank "Monster Wire", it has the same red coat just as the Studio. Going with such an outstanding wire, how couldn't the Studio catch passers-by's attention?
Monster has been founded for decades; however, it takes only about two years to successfully run the headphones business. And at the end of 2008, Monster has become the No.1 selling brand on the American native land. Many stars use Monster product and there comes the strong wind of Monster.
It doesn't matter that you do not know Sennheiser or Audio-Technica. But if you do not know Monster today, then you are OUT! When Kobe bryant was fined US$10,000 because of his wearing Beats Studio on the press conference, when stars such as LeBron James and Lady Gaga wore Monster Beats headphones in public places, as a young person today, you cannot disregard for Monster, just like that it is impossible that you do NOT know Nike.

We have gone too far from the subject. We had better come back to the Bests Studio headphones. Just as you know, Studio is the first product that Monster team and Dr. Dre developed together. Today, on most Monster headphones there's the logo of Dr. Dre's head, and we should say that Dr. Dre is the REAL spokesman of Monster headphones. Dr. Dre himself is also a famous rapper and he had ever won the Grammy Adwards. We have no doubt that when designing this Beats by dre studio, Dr. Dre offered his great ideas to make it more perfect. We all know that the popular music culture in America is relative bold, quite different from that in China, even in Asia. Rap, Rock and Metal are the three most popular elements in America, of which the tone requirements on headphones are similar. Thus, we usually classify some American brand headphone tone to "American Sound" and Studio is also a kind of headphones full of Native American features.
Beats by dre studio is the flagship product of Monster, which shows the word "High-end" well, no matter from its materials or design. Though the headphones are dealt with high-light-reflecting processing which will easily get fingerprint, its Mirror-like appearance is so shinning that people cannot resist it. Moreover, the Monster headphone logo "b" on the headphone unit shell is very outstanding. This kind of simple symbol will easily impress anyone. In this aspect Audio-Technica does the same, however, you cannot deny that comparing with Studio, the product package of Audio-Technica is not that good.


Though Beats by dre studio is big in size, it will not prevent people from wearing it on the streets. As you can see in the previous pictures of accessories, Monster provides Studio with a elliptic case which is convenient for people to carry everywhere. On the Studo body there are also folding and flexible joints. These joints are not fixed by screws but very compact. Just as what we say, we do not have to worry about the quality and workmanship of Studio.
Beats by dre studio headphones use breathable memory foam on the earcups. In hot summer, however, people will of course feel oppressed by the heat and sweat. We advise that people wear Studio out when it is a little cool. Finally, let's talk about the advantage of Studio. No matter how outstanding the Studio appearance is and how excellent its workmanship and materials are, there's still the advantage - the weight of Studio. As a user, maybe on normal conditions you will not feel any pressure while wearing the Studio as there's the soft memory foam. However, when you want to lift up your head you will find the Studio cannot well fix on your ears because it is too heavy and not tight. So when wearing the Studio on the street, you'd better keep your head steady.
Except as a high-end headset, Beats by dre studio has some other intimate functions. Maybe it is that these added functions raise the weight. On the right shell there's a button on the logo "b" which can switch it to silent mode. On some past functional noise reduction headphones there's also this function. Now, with this function, does it mean that Studio is also a noise reduction headphone?
In fact that was not the case, or you only say half of it. Studio is a headset which can hold batteries. Take off the unit shell on left earcup, there's the battery case. It should pay attention that only with batteries the Studio can work. Studio is not like other functional noise reduction headphones which can work without electricity and this gives users some inconvenience. Studio headphones use two 7# (AAA) batteries which you can buy in the supermarkets and convenience stores. However, we suggest you buy the rechargeable batteries if you use Studio a lot. According to Monster workers' opinions, two full 7# (AAA) batteries can continuously support Studio for about 20 hours. If people listen with Studio for 2 hours, then Studio can support for 10 days and needs charged for 3 time a month. Also there's a power switch on the side of silent button. When you turn off you will hear the tiny electric current sound which is made by Open-circuit, harmless to headphones itself and the sound will disappear later.

As we have mentioned above, Beats by dre studio is pure "American Sound". It has thick low frequency power to play the American's favorite music which requires low frequency and transiently showing on details. Comparing with Tour, Studio is more "balance". Voice is not so sharp as that of Tour, but integrates into the whole music, making the whole music more harmonious not overstressing on some parts. Otherwise, Comparing with the Tour headphones we have met, Studio voice is a little more "well behaved" as it cuts the limit sounds partially on both extreme and the whole music becomes not that wild but outstanding balancing voice.

Low frequency is still Studio's focus - performing pretty good in low frequency. Not like Tour, Studio low frequency is thicker and simpler, no exaggerating descending but just meeting the needs of music like Hip-Hop. High frequency is one of the aspects that we have criticized on Tour - it is too sharp and not pleasant at all. While Beats by dre studio pays more attention to balance and low frequency - a little "overcompensation" on the high frequency, balanced and a little lacking of details. Therefore, as a whole Studio voice is centered in medium frequency and low frequency which is not very suitable for who like bright soprano voice.

New beats by dre studio 2.0 headphones $99 to 129 arrivals at www.wholesaleonlinemart.com, the sound quality is the same with real,In the facing outward appearance as well as the traditional result, these are comparable to the original types. It works adequately for the low consistency, linear off shoot along with productive bass. In appearance, it really is blameless! Nevertheless, to the dubious as well as buyers who pursue traditional items, please be cautious prior to buying. Thank you!  There might somone asking that why some other online stores sell the same products even cheaper? Here, what I would like to say is, Please do not compare our price to the other sellers that is selling the low, not the same quality. our headphones quality is the best on the Chinese market. if you find any online store's headphones quality is better than ours, we will exchange goods or refund your money at any time. This is in addition to your statutory rights.

The Beats mixr is able to handle the highest of sound levels with an ultra crisp sonic signature.

James wears the beats by dre mixr headphonesJames wears beats by dr.dre mixr headphones

We quite like the design, which appears to come in both black and white options, with matte or gloss coatings. Often headphones with more complicated stylings or swivelling earcups are let down by plasticky parts, so we’re hoping these feel sturdy when we give them the full review treatment.Beats has previously teamed up with musical luminaries such as Sean ‘Diddy’ Combes, Lady Gaga and, er, Justin Bieber.The Beats line-up is a mixed bag, with some of the headphones sounding rather muddy, but others blew us away with their thumping bass and impressive clarity. Fingers crossed the mixr falls into the latter camp.As you’d expect from something with this much swanky red cabling, the beats mixr is a shade on the pricey side. Specifically, you’ll be shelling out $85  for the privilege of adorning your bonce with these boisterous ‘phones.

While the Beats mixr is designed for DJs, the lightweight yet durable headphone could also appeal to consumers that seek a high quality headphone experience.The Beats mixr is available at Bigtimestore.com on today and will come with a suggested retail price of $85.

The large (b) logo found on the ear cups paired with the sleek glossy finish really attracts attention. I have not seen any headphones that look as hot and cool as the Studio Beats by Dr Dre. And quite frankly that might be the problem for many people, as they can’t match the headphones. I have already had my students laugh at me when wearing these as I lack a bit of cool apparently. The Studio Beats by Dr Dre is aimed at the urban city kid wearing them like it is nobodies’ business. I feel a bit like one of them wearing the Studios but my students brought me down to earth again from dreams of Escalades, bandanas, bling bling and thumping bass. If you are cool enough these headphones will certainly boost your cool further.
The glossy finish gets smudgy from fingerprints when handling them making them look a bit greasy up close. You get a cloth in the package to polish them, and these are the first headphones I have tried that you actually need to polish from time to time. Walking around with $300 headphones that looks like they are worn by a filth pig is no fun, but then again you have to wash your Ferrari as well to keep it shiny, right?


Portability/Comfort
The Studio Beats by Dr Dre is really comfortable to wear despite their size, and the fact that they contain two AAA batteries. They feel light, and once on the head it is easy to forget that you wear large headphones. They remain quite cool against the skin even after hours of wear in comparison to most other headphones I have tried. Of course if you exercise, and run they will get warm and sticky because of your perspiration. This might not be such a problem though because the Studios aren’t suited for running anyway. Sudden movements such as head movement while running, and head banging makes the Studios move on your head. The headband moves back and forth on your skull making for an unpleasant run. They don’t fall off completely though as the headphones gently hug your ears.
Of course you can’t put the studios in your pocket but they sit really nicely around the neck without disturbing the wearer. The cords, both with and without microphone, are hassle free without any tendency to tangle due to thickness and sturdiness.
The case you get for storing the Studios is really sturdy, and the Studios fold up easily. You can easily smack the case around with the Studios inside without risking any damage. The Studios themselves feels durable but this test is limited to a week, and quite frankly I wouldn’t want to torture these sleek objects of art more than necessary.
If you have a really big head the Studios might be too small. I have a moderately large head, and I have to stretch the headbands to almost full extension. For big headed people or those with a seriously massive hairdo I recommend you to try before you buy.


Sound quality
I feel like I am on stage at a concert wearing the Studio Beats by Dr Dre. The sound focus around the user making for a really intense experience. A bit bass heavy but at the right level enhancing the music instead of ruining it. I have listened to all kinds of music wearing the Studios, and the result is always the same but the reaction depends on the surroundings. Listening to In Flames at home turns me into an air guitarist kneeling in front of my hall mirrors playing like crazy. At work listening to some big band it turns into some soft chair dancing not to disturb my colleagues. Worst of course is being out walking listening to Jay Z or Eminem as it turns into my totally own impression of hip hop dance. Needless to say the Studios does what Apple says about their own in-ear headphones, it lets you rediscover your music.
I have to mention the poor microphone as well as it is completely useless, and this drags the sound quality rating down. I have yet to complete a phone call without having to unplug the Studios because the person at the other end has had trouble hearing me. The sound is tinny, and really muted for the recipient making them useless as your handsfree headset. This is a shame as it would be really cool to have both headphones, and decent handsfree in the same product. The microphone lets you control the play/pause, and Voice Control making it really useful anyway. But please don’t buy the Studios expecting to use them as your handsfree headset.


Noise isolation
The noise cancellation of the Studios is a mixed bag. On the one hand it works quite well blocking out unwanted sounds such as computers humming, fans whirring and chairs moving. On the other hand it can’t be turned off, the headphones are either powered or completely silent. Voices and high pitched sounds still filter through although somewhat muted which is ok.
When used with my Macbook the Studios hum when I don’t play any audio. This background hum is drowned easily by music, but if you for example listen to classical music with silent parts I can’t recommend the Studios.
You can easily interact with people around you pressing the (b) on the right headphone to mute the music. I can hear both myself, and the person I talk to clearly using this feature. But since the button needs to be held you can just as well take the Studios off as you look silly standing around holding the button. I think this function should have a proper on/off switch to make it useful. Standing at the supermarket handling the wallet with one hand, and holding the (b) with the other is not practical at all.

The case you get for storing the Studios is really sturdy, and the Studios fold up easily. You can easily smack the case around with the Studios inside without risking any damage. The Studios themselves feels durable but this test is limited to a week, and quite frankly I wouldn’t want to torture these sleek objects of art more than necessary.
If you have a really big head the Studios might be too small. I have a moderately large head, and I have to stretch the headbands to almost full extension. For big headed people or those with a seriously massive hairdo I recommend you to try before you buy.

For big headed people or those with a seriously massive hairdo I recommend you to try before you buy.Sound qualityI feel like I am on stage at a concert wearing the Studio Beats by Dr Dre. The sound focus around the user making for a really intense experience. A bit bass heavy but at the right level enhancing the music instead of ruining it. I have listened to all kinds of music wearing the Studios, and the result is always the same but the reaction depends on the surroundings. Listening to In Flames at home turns me into an air guitarist kneeling in front of my hall mirrors playing like crazy. At work listening to some big band it turns into some soft chair dancing not to disturb my colleagues. Worst of course is being out walking listening to Jay Z or Eminem as it turns into my totally own impression of hip hop dance. Needless to say the Studios does what Apple says about their own in-ear headphones, it lets you rediscover your music.
I have to mention the poor microphone as well as it is completely useless, and this drags the sound quality rating down. I have yet to complete a phone call without having to unplug the Studios because the person at the other end has had trouble hearing me. The sound is tinny, and really muted for the recipient making them useless as your handsfree headset. This is a shame as it would be really cool to have both headphones, and decent handsfree in the same product. The microphone lets you control the play/pause, and Voice Control making it really useful anyway. But please don’t buy the Studios expecting to use them as your handsfree headset.

On the one hand it works quite well blocking out unwanted sounds such as computers humming, fans whirring and chairs moving. On the other hand it can’t be turned off, the headphones are either powered or completely silent. Voices and high pitched sounds still filter through although somewhat muted which is ok. When used with my Macbook the Studios hum when I don’t play any audio. This background hum is drowned easily by music, but if you for example listen to classical music with silent parts I can’t recommend the Studios. You can easily interact with people around you pressing the (b) on the right headphone to mute the music. I can hear both myself, and the person I talk to clearly using this feature. But since the button needs to be held you can just as well take the Studios off as you look silly standing around holding the button. I think this function should have a proper on/off switch to make it useful. Standing at the supermarket handling the wallet with one hand, and holding the (b) with the other is not practical at all.
Gaming
The Studio Beats by Dr Dre The glossy finish gets smudgy from fingerprints when handling them making them look a bit greasy up close. You get a cloth in the package to polish them, and these are the first headphones I have tried that you actually need to polish from time to time. Walking around with $300 headphones that looks like they are worn by a filth pig is no fun, but then again you have to wash your Ferrari as well to keep it shiny, right?Portability/ComfortThe Studio Beats by Dr Dre is really comfortable to wear despite their size, and the fact that they contain two AAA batteries. They feel light, and once on the head it is easy to forget that you wear large headphones. They remain quite cool against the skin even after hours of wear in comparison to most other headphones I have tried. Of course if you exercise, and run they will get warm and sticky because of your perspiration. This might not be such a problem though because the Studios aren’t suited for running anyway. Sudden movements such as head movement while running, and head banging makes the Studios move on your head. The headband moves back and forth on your skull making for an unpleasant run. They don’t fall off completely though as the headphones gently hug your ears.

It is not as bad as I have experience with other noise cancellation headphones but it is annoying enough to take note of. Walking near my high speed cable modem at home makes the Studios go haywire with noise. As the noise cancellation can’t be turned off some environments, and heavy Edge/3G gaming becomes less fun but still tolerable. I would like to have the ability to turn off the noise cancellation to play some Eliminate on the go without interference but sadly I can’t.There is no denying that the Studio Beats by Dr Dre are among the coolest, best looking headphones out there. With great sound quality, good sound cancellation and comfortable fit they are easy to recommend for most users. Do not expect them to meet your expectations when it comes to the microphone that is really poor making them useless as handsfree for your iPhone. The occasional interference from Edge/3G and surrounding radios and modems also drags the final rating down. Still clearly the Studios is a good purchase if you are looking for some of the best headphones out there.    * Outstanding audio on a range of applications

Why are Olympic swimmers coming out wearing beats by dre headphones?

Spectators at the Aquatics Centre were left disappointed after several swimmers walked out to the pool wearing noise-cancelling headphones – blocking out their cheers.Sun Yang, who went on to win a gold medal, was one of several seen wearing the Beats by Dr Dre headphones at the swimming finals on Saturday night – even though fans had travelled from China to cheer him on.

The headphones, endorsed by US rapper Dr Dre, are designed to block out all background noise.Athletes are said to favour them because they allow them to focus in the moments before they take them off to swim.But fans expressed dismay on Twitter, with one writing: 'Take them off and soak up the atmosphere you idiots.'
American swimmer Michael Phelps has been seen several times wearing the headphones while training and it seems they have now become something of a trend among Olympic swimmers.Ella McSweeney wrote on twitter: ‘if I was a fan whith travelled to support a swimmer who then appeared with headphones on, I’d feel like being a bit quiet.’
Another wrote; ‘Why are these swimmers coming out wearing headphones? Take them off and soak up the atmosphere you idiots.’
Nicholas Veevers ‏added: ‘I see the Beats dre headphones pandemic has spread to swimming now. Leave them in the locker lads, you must’ve had an extra 30 seconds of tune.’
As well as disappointing the fans, the swimmers who wore the headphones are likely to have left Samsung, the official technology sponsor of the games, somewhat miffed.
Taking them off: Yang removes the beats by dre headphones before the race. However fans are unhappy that the swimmers are not hearing their cheers ahead of the races.
Beats by Dre headphones are owned by one of their fiercest corporate rivals, HTC.
Last night a LOCOG spokesperson confirmed that Beats by Dre were not an official sponsor. ‘It must be that the athletes just like them,’ a spokesperson said.
Nobody at the company Beats by Dre was available to comment on whether the headphones had been given to athletes for free.

Today, acoustic is not the only yardstick for a GOOD HEADPHONE; For the young users, especially hipop fans and NBA fans, the outward appearance is also one of the standards for a GOOD HEADPHONE, and even a crucial standard. As a new emerging force in headphone industry, Beats by dre products lay equal stress on both appearance and acoustic. On the basis of ensuring appearance and acoustic, Noise Reduction function has been added to the flagship product in the Monster range - Beats by Dr. Dre Studio, which meets high level customers' requirements and brings them much more satisfaction. It is not a strange thing to accept that Beats by Dr. Dre Studio becomes the favorite choice for many stars. If you will buy these headphones I suggest for best deal at: www.bigtimestore.com.

Beats by Dr. Dre Mixr Headphones (Black, White, Red and Blue)

Beats by Dr. Dre Mixr Headphones (Black, White, Red and Blue) has been released on Hotsalemarts.com.
Beats by Dr Dre welcomes a new set of ostentatious headphones to its gaudy stable -- the Beats mixr are a set of cans with DJ chops, built in collaboration with French roof-raiser David Guetta. designed specifically for DJs, combining ground-breaking sound quality with an ultra-compact design. The Beats mixr is able to handle the highest of sound levels with an ultra crisp sonic signature. Its unique design allows the wearer to conveniently swivel the ear cup 180 degrees in order to listen to the external environment and is incomparable at performing in loud, high noise environments whether it is in a club, a recording studio or on the street. Styled like the rest of the bass-heavy Beats line, one of the mixr's earcups swivels around on a hinge, so you can hear whether or not your audience has given up and gone home.

We quite like the design, which appears to come in both black and white options, with matte or gloss coatings. Often headphones with more complicated stylings or swivelling earcups are let down by plasticky parts, so we're hoping these feel sturdy when we give them the full review treatment.
Beats has previously teamed up with musical luminaries such as Sean 'Diddy' Combes, Lady Gaga and, er, Justin Bieber.
The Beats line-up is a mixed bag, with some of the headphones sounding rather muddy, but others blew us away with their thumping bass and impressive clarity. Fingers crossed the mixr falls into the latter camp.

As you'd expect from something with this much swanky red cabling, the beats mixr is a shade on the pricey side. Specifically, you'll be shelling out $169 for the privilege of adorning your bonce with these boisterous 'phones.
While the Beats mixr is designed for DJs, the lightweight yet durable headphone could also appeal to consumers that seek a high quality headphone experience.
The Beats mixr is available on hotsalemarts.com stores on today and will come with a suggested retail price of $169 to $179. The product is available in both black and white in either a gloss or matte finish. The sleek headband slides to ensure an exact fit that is perfect for both men and women.

Design
Aside from the gorgeous package design, once you unseal and open the red Beats box, you're greeted by a large black and white photo of Dr. Dre and a soft-shell, smooth headphones case. The case has the popular "b" logo printed on both side, and Monster's name stitched along the seam.
Inside the case are the core of what's inside the box: Beats Mixr headphones. They are super stylish in a mat black finish, accented by red Beats logos on each ear cup and wiring.
Since Beats Mixr headphones are created collaboratively with Guetta, you are assured these are created by a globally renown DJ for DJs, audiophiles and cool cats alike.
Watching DJs in action, you can see they need a sturdy pair of headphones. Mixr answers that call as they look and feel of strong construction.

I really like the compact form factor and ear cups on these headphones. In fact, the ear cups can swivel 180 degrees on both sides, pratically designed for both portability and listening to music while mixing. I'm not a mixer (yet), but I see value with this function at home or work to keep an ear glued to the beats, while keeping an ear out for phone calls, emails or social media alerts.

Cool connectivity
The Mixr headphones connect to your mp3 player through the familiar red Monster cable (standard 1/8" to 1/8") with Control Talk, best used with Apple devices to control volume and track up/down or speak on your phone.
A second DJ-style coiled cord is included with these headphones, equipped with both a 1/8" to 1/8" plugs and 1/8" to 1/4" adapter.
One of my favourite features on the Mixr Beats is the dual input ports on each earcup so you can share mixes, or audio by daisy-chaining with a friend. (This would be perfect the next time I'm flying and want to share a TV program or movie's audio from my tablet with the person next to me.)
Monster once again hits the right notes again with the David Guetta Mixr Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. I'm thoroughly impressed with the construction and design and the sound quality was what I've experienced and come to expect from the brand. Also, the sound was as expected from the premium headphones maker - deep bass, clear tones and noise-cancelling-like qualities.
