Beats by Dr. Dre’s Wireless
headphones provide the sound quality that users demand from a premium headsets
brand, and now also offer the convenience of delivering your tunes wirelessly.
It’s been a good year for Beats by Dr. Dre,
not only confirming their premier status by a very visible ambush marketing
campaign at last year’s Olympus, but also expanding its portfolio. Now with
their Beats by Dr. Dre Wireless headphones, you can get premium sound delivered
wireless via Bluetooth. Once connected, music can be streamed to the headset
over a distance of around 10m, meaning you can leave your smartphone on charge
on the kitchen counter whilst listening to music in the living room.

However, controlling the playback is where
the problem comes in. the placement of the buttons really does take some
getting used to since they are located on the ear cup of the headset. You have
a ‘back’ and ‘next’ button for repeating or skipping tracks, a ‘play/pause’
button (beats logo in the center) and a volume rocker ( Æ and –
buttons).

Substantial bang for a significant
amount of bucks
The frown over the placement of the
playback controls is soon wiped aside courtesy of the impressive crisp,
distortion-free sound. This high-quality sound is quite similar to what you get
on the Nokia Purity HD stereo headset, which is not surprising since
Electronics Company Monster manufacturers, both sets of headphones (at least up
until the end of last year). The difference between the two lies in the bass,
which is accentuated a lot more on the Beats. Whilst the boosted bass levels
may put a broad smile on the faces of Hip Hop and House fans, sound-purists
including Jazz turned off by the extra dollop of bass.

To the point
The Beats Wireless headphones by Dr. Dre is
a solidly constructed headset that oozes quality from its high-end design
through to the premium sound on offer. However, the biggest hurdle that will
prevent most people from getting a pair is the recommended retail price of
$388, making it around $130 more expensive than the wired Beats Solo option.
But then again, when you’re buying Beats, you’re not really that concerned
about the price, are you?
