Best Monster Headphones

Monster established a partnership with rap artist Dr. Dre and Interscope Records in 2007 to design and manufacture the Beats Electronics line of headphones called “Beats by Dr. Dre”. This led to a trend among headphone manufacturers to create celebrity-endorsed products.

Monster created similar partnerships with Lady Gaga for the Heartbeats brand of headphones in 2009, PDiddy’s Diddybeats in May 2010 and LeBron James later that year. In 2010, Monster began developing a series of products for the Chinese market that were co-branded with basketball player Yao Ming.

According to analyst firm NPD Group, the Beats brand that Monster distributed exclusively grew to own 53 percent of a $1 billion headphones market. A 51 percent interest in Beats was sold to HTC in August 2011. At the end of the five-year agreement between Monster and Dr. Dre in 2012, Dre decided not to renew. According to Bloomberg, both parties said the separation was “amicable” but they had disagreements on who deserves credit and the share of revenues.

The partnership was responsible for a substantial portion of Monster’s revenues. After the split, Monster created its own headphones product line and other celebrity-branded headphones with music groups Earth, Wind & Fire and Miles Davis.

Here are the best headphones Monster has to offer.

Sennheiser HD 650 Headphones Review

There’s always been a decisive line drawn in the sand between professional and entry level gear. Case in point; the line between the most professional headphones and the ones you get prepackaged with your iPhone is sort of like a schism. You see, while sound quality is a subjective thing when you’re choosing headphones, the standards of which are well known around the world. This is why there are massive jumps in price and quality. So much so that sometimes you wonder just what kind of gear you should be buying. Of course, there are a lot of different models and types of headphones you can use, and you can even back track if you really wanted to. In this line of thought; would it be worth it to jump back in time and buy the ever pricey Senheiser HD 650?

[amzn_product_post]

Sennheiser has grown quite a reputation among audiophiles and professional mixers alike. This is because they often request a huge amount of cash for each of their pieces of gear. Of course, they’re also one of the premier producers of sound quality, and every time they come out with a new iteration of one of their products, it is often worth a look. The HD 650s have grown to be a well loved pair of headphones, and have been around for a long time. They feature a huge amount of bass, which makes every war film come alive with each explosion. The booming sound also complements bass heavy music like electronic or dubstep. In fact, it might actually be a bit of waste if you don’t take the time to buy lossless music or high definition films because the 650s really strive to enhance your music experience. At the same time, your gaming can also stand to improve with these little wonders as most games of today are huge on booming and massive soundtracks. The inevitable downfall of these headphones is hard rock, and to some extent, more subtle listening experiences often suffer.

The Headphones

The first time you see these headphones, you’re going to assume that they’re a little clunky and aren’t designed for an on the go lifestyle. You’d be right because these things are monstrous when compared to other headphones with the same quality. The 650s also has a 9 foot cable, so you’ll also have to deal with the clutter when you pick a pair up. The set comes with an adapter, but no extra cord, so you’ll have to spend a bit more for a spare if you really need it. These headphones fit snugly around your head, and while they are a tad on the heavy side, they never feel cumbersome.

Should you buy this set?

Time has not lowered the price of these monsters much, and if you’re really looking into buying a pair, be prepared to spend almost $500. However, like most Sennheiser products, you’d be hard pressed to find a reason not to pick this pair up. Of course, if you aren’t in the market for such an experience, there are cheaper and admittedly, more advanced models in the market today. Consider this pair only you have a huge paycheck coming up or if you don’t mind eating out of cans for a few days.

AKG K 701 Headphones Review

Audiophiles are always sticklers for awesome sound quality. Often, you’ll find them with two or even three different pairs of headphones or earphones. Each of those pieces offer a different kind of experience for different kinds of platforms. This is why getting an audiophile to buy different types of gear can be hard sell because each of them have different kinds of preferences when it comes to sound. As a beginner, you can’t simply ask them for advice because you’re going to come up with six different opinions which company makes the best pair. This is where subjective tastes come into play, so in the end, you might have to try out many different kind to find the one you want. Of course, there are certain companies that try their best to appeal to everyone, and if you’re still wondering just who to turn to, maybe you should be giving the AKG 701 a spin.

The Sound

AKG is a company that is well known for a lot of things. First off, a lot of their line up features softer bass in favor of higher degrees balance and volume. The second factor you’ll need to know is that their headphones often come with a second cord that extends a little longer. In both of these respects, the AKG701 tries something new. The bass quality in these headphones is very evident and it is now brought out into the foreground. Once you play an electronic track with a bass emphasis, you’ll notice immediately it bursts clear into your head and rattles your skull a little. In fact, every other frequency is also emphasized with these pairs, and this is even more noticeable when you start putting on your lossless tracks. This is isn’t by accident, as the AKG701 headphones are designed to pick apart and emphasize each track you push through it. This makes every element in any song you play easy to hear and to notice, but with that in mind, the sacrifice is the balance. However, this makes the AKG701 an excellent choice for those that want to analyze every song they’ve ever heard.

The Headphones

It’s a shame that AKG has removed the secondary cable in this package, but that’s understandable considering the default cord is long enough. Extending at around 3m, you can still enjoy all your tracks on a comfortable chair, which is reasonably distanced, from your computer. The headphones themselves provide a decent amount of noise suppression, and doesn’t leak sound at all. To top that off, they are also quite comfortable, and the adjustable rim can help you fit in the perfect direction. The pair cups your ears quite snugly, but it never applies too much pressure.

Should you buy this set?

While the AKG 701s don’t come cheap, the $300 price tag is really justified. You can use this pair for almost any kind of activity as the highly detailed, but picked apart, sound really makes this pair a cut above the other in its price bracket. If you’re an amateur audiophile looking for a great pair of headphones and money is no object, there’s no way you should be passing up the AKG 701s.

AKG Q 701 Quincy Jones Premium Headphones Review

Like a lot of different kinds of accessories, certain niches need a certain kind of quality to separate them from entry level gear and into professional class items. Often these higher grade pieces of gear come with such a high price tag that you’d probably instantly turn your head in disbelief. Again, that kind of quality comes with huge benefits in many forms. Usually, these different devices are tooled up for many different things, so when you see a pair of headphones with a $400 tag, you have to assume that these are of the highest quality. However, you shouldn’t always make these assumptions because sometimes, these boosts in prices are just a means to make it look like the gear is of the best quality. So, can the AKG Q701 Quincy Jones premium headphones really justify the hefty price you have to pay for them?< [amzn_product_post]

The Sound

One can expect that a pair of headphones from a relatively renowned company like AKG and sponsored by Quincy Jones would end up being some of the best on the market. The true result of this match made in audiophile heaven is awesome. The sound on almost any track cuts clear into your brain, and if you have a thing for lossless quality tracks, you’re surely going to enjoy this pair of headphones. The main quality this pair of headphones aims to emphasize is clear and crisp sound delivery. Each track you push through these headphones will obviously be enhanced when you play it. At the same time, these headphones don’t do well with devices that don’t output a great quality sound. While it does try to enhance the sound, if you’re playing your tracks through an old phone, you’re not going to get your money’s worth. However, if you take the time to scan your library for different genres, be warned that the AKG 701 Quincy Jones model sort of suffers when it comes to bass. It basically means electronic music mixers will find this pair lacking, but live instruments users will get a kick out of them.

The Headphones

AKG has a nice little habit of including an extra pair of something or another in with their headphone package, and in this case, it’s a cord. The detachable feature is awesome for people that want to take these monsters along with them on trips, but if you like your listening private, then the open back plastic feature will have you reeling in fear. The secondary cord extends a tad further than the first, which is very welcome for those that like rolling around on their seats, or like to be situated in a comfortable while they listen to their music.

Should you buy this set?

These headphones are great and is also extremely comfortable when compared to the other pairs in this price bracket. They fit snugly, and are sort of warm, but what you get in terms of sound quality makes up for all of its failings. However, the $400 price tag will probably have you in second thought. For those that need this kind of excellent quality, that is a small price to pay for these awesome head phones.
