Hip-Hop Headphones Reviewed: Does Anything Beat the Dr. Dre Beats?
Mar 29, 2012 05:03 PM EDT by Michael S. Lasky Celebrity endorsements sell headphones. Hip-hop legend Dr. Dre, with his Beats by Dr. Dre line, may have been first, but certainly not last. More recently Ludacris, RZA and 50 Cent have stepped into the arena. But do their cans have the style, sound and price to win you over? We put four models to the test.
Street by 50 Headphones
The Street by 50 headphones feel great, but does the sound quality justify the $249 price tag?

All these rappers can keep their overpriced headphones. Give me a good pair of Sennheisers any day… equal or greater quality, and in most cases, at a fraction of the price.

Steve i,m sure you don’t know anything about the rappers and you haven’t even heard the amazing and good quality that you experince when you listen to music with those headphones on. Right now i own a pair of Beats By Dr Dre Solo and i’m going to buy Beats By Dr Dre Pro. I Recommend it to everybody. When you listen to music with those headphones on you will never get tired of music.

To be honest, dre beats are pretty much the finest quality of headphones you’ll get nowadays. But it costs a fortune. For a cheaper price, 40 quid maybe, you can get those sony XD500 headphones. They’re really good.

I had a nice laugh reading how you guys think Beats are great and all.

Beats are over-hyped. I think Chambers by RZA are better. People just follow the crowd and buy the same thing.
