Lebron James and Beats by Dr. Dre cooperate and release Power Beats headphones

Lebron James is the NBA's MVP two years running. Power beats are in-ear speakers, so music can be the driving force in your game. James, Dr. Dre and Monster designed them for ideal fit while playing hard, with your surroundings audible.
Music is a driving force in the game of many top athletes. Now, it can bring out the best in yours. Whether you work out hard at the gym, play to win in team sports, or enjoy moving to music, Powerbeats is the breakthrough in-ear headphone you've been waiting for.

Gone are the days of buds threatening to fall out of your ears and cramp your playing style. An adjustable/bendable ear hook with flexible arm keeps Power beats securely in place, no matter how aggressively you move. Plus, they resist sweat and ultra-violet light, ideal for the outdoors.
What's more, Power beats deliver awe-inspiring sound with separate subwoofer and midrange tweeter for thunderous bass, silky vocals and clean, undistorted highs. And advanced passive sound isolation keeps the music in with your surroundings audible so you stay on top of your game.
Better still, ControlTalk conveniently located on-cable, makes it easy to take calls hands-free without fumbling for your smartphone, iPhone or iPad. Plus, it gives you track seeking control with any MP3 player, iPod, or music phone.

Design
The Power beats come in three colors: red, white, and black. The exterior of the Powerbeats feature that signature beats by dr. dre aesthetic. The bright red and the beats logo – it’s all there. However, I do find that the construction although solid.. does seem a bit more plasticky this time around versus other in-ear speakers in the beats by dr. dre line-up.
However, the one major difference of the Power beats compared to the rest of the beats by dr. dre and Monster arsenal is that this in-ear speaker was specifically designed for the athlete in you. The Powerbeats are designed to be extremely functional when it comes to exercising by including an earhook, a earhook that is flexible no less! It is also sweat resistant and UV protected and provides a very snug fit in your ear when exercising or doing extreme movement.
Lastly the Power beats come in the signature Monster and beats by dr. dre packaging. To unbox you remove the outer sleeve and then pull the material pull tab to reveal the beauty beneath. Inside the packaging is a carrying case, clip, manual, and two additional Monster silicone ear-tips, as well as an extension cable for the headphones.

Comfort
While the Power beats feature a unique design; picture perfect for the workout fanatic, it seems that those with big ears will still be at an advantage when wearing them. Out of the box the earhooks are not small ear friendly, so it will take some bending to get them just right. Luckily they do bend, otherwise they would be completely frustrating to wear for smaller ears. Once you mold the Powerbeats into the perfect shape, everything will sit very nicely on your ears and the Powerbeat’s earbud is designed to position inward into your canal to prevent movement and disruption of music flow, thus keeping your adrenaline pumping while your feet are running.

Sound Quality:
So the Powerbeats look good but do they sound good? Yes. The built-in subwoofer and midrange tweeter pump certainly help excel when it comes to clear vocals and crisp highs. No matter how you move in these things the pulse of the music stays put in your ears. Walk slow, run, jump, whatever…Power beats can handle it and so can the sound. There was absolutely no degrading of sound when I rowed my way on my rowing machine or walked up and down quickly on a flights of stairs. The bass reproduction in the Power beats is certainly not overwhelming but it’s not minuscule either. However if you are accustomed to the deep bass like the rest of the beats by dr. dre headphones you will be slightly disappointed. But bass withstanding, everything sounded extremely balanced yet rich at the same time. I did detect some tininess on weaker bit rate’s and even slight static. So you may want to upload higher bit rate files, so your Powerbeats don’t have to subject themselves to low quality sounding music. Treble and midrange were lush and fluid and the Power beats did really well with acoustics and wind instruments.
What I also liked about the Power beats is that they aren’t sound isolating. I like that you can still hear people around you while doing activities. That doesn’t mean you hear them very well, but certainly you are very aware of your surroundings. This also means you don’t hear the thump of every footstep you make as you walk or run. I find this refreshing and very safe for both myself and those around me while I’m exercising.

ControlTalk
Just like all Monster or beats by dr. dre in-ear speakers, headphones, etc, where the ControlTalk feature is included, ControlTalk still remains a superior feature on the Powerbeats. Monster's ControlTalk technology lets you switch between listening to music and talking on your phone on the fly. The ControlTalk cable in particular has a call answer button and a built-in mic. ControlTalk lets you answer or end a call, decline an incoming call, play or pause a song or video, skip to the next or previous song or chapter, scan forward or backward through songs and video, and also control the volume. Incoming calls sounded crisp and clear when using the ControlTalk, effectively enhancing the overall experience and practicality of using these headphones even more. Since the Powerbeats are more geared towards a workout session, the easy access to the volume control on the ControlTalk remote certainly came in handy at many times.

Conclusion
The Power beats are an impressive addition to the beats by dr. dre and Monster collaboration. They feel good, look good, and sound good. For those who have wanted a sturdy pair of workout in-ear speakers, they may have just found their perfect pair.

The Power beats by dr. dre retail for $30 to $40 on bigtimestore.com.

The Good: Ideal headphones for hardcore athletes. Flexible earhooks that are sweat resistant and UV protected. Great sound reproduction that doesn’t get degraded when moving or exercising.

The Bad: Only two additional ear-tips are included. Bass reproduction is just average. Might break if shoved in your pocket just because of the shape, so make sure to keep it protected in the included case.

Why Stars love Monster Beats by Dr. Dre Studio?

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 dr.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 Monster Beats Studio headphones which he bought himself.

Since the first released, beats by dr.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 - Beats Studio, and kept its marketing strategy of Fashion. In view of Dr. Dre's popularity in America, 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 by dr.dre Studio headphones become their choice.

As a fashionable product, it must have a fashionable and unique appearance. As the first product of Monster by dr.dre headset, head-wearing type headphones come to the world. Before the very Monster 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, 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, 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, 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 by dre 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 beats by dr.dre 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 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.  

Headphone orientations are many and varied; however, headphones are seldom connected with fashion. For years, headphones seems to fail in being a fashionable sign, which is similar to that effect caused by Sony Walkman and Apple iPod - in the past we did doubt that if such little articles hanging on the ears could become a necessary fashionable decoration on people's ears just like other ornaments such as necklace or earrings; while Monster Beats, which started to release headphones in 2008, only takes about one year to "fulfill this dream" which many other headphone brands could not in the past.

Monster company successfully combines popular words such as fashion, sport and rock with its headphone brand tightly, attracting a lot of young consumers who pay attention to fashion and trends. Of course, the influence of Star users should not be neglected, either. When you see that Kobe wears the Monster Beats Studio on the press conference after the game, I think you could not neglect that and you will absolutely go to find out what the product is exactly.
