From Ohm to Om — The ZenMastering Blog

Thoughts on the world of audio recording, mixing, and mastering.

New Cans for ’08

Posted on | July 29, 2008 | No Comments

I was piddlin’ around the Web today and found out that there’s a new headphone out there, co-collaboration of Monster (cable, not the employment service) and Dr. Dre. They’re being marked under the moniker Beats by Dre.

They look intriguing, and they seem to be targeted at the Bose market: good sound, active noise canceling, and comfortable. But they’re not anything I’d ever be interested in listening to music on as they seem to rely heavily on active equalization…which would drive me crazy.

BUT, for lots of other people they’re probably worth checking out. A bit pricey, but if they live up to the hype they could be a good investment.
