Better cans are available for less money. But hey, it's Beats!
I'll be honest. It's not my favourite. And it's not even my first Beats by Dr. Dre. I already have a Pro. But this one was made in collab with David Guetta, and I have sort of made it a point of buying headphones that DJs helped make. Coming to this, it's a lot lighter than my pro, and that makes it easier to take out when I'm travelling. And it's got brand name. But sound quality is not what you would expect. The bass is amazing, but that's where it ends really.
Do I regret buying it? No. Guetta designed it, so that makes it okay for me. But will I recommend it? No.
Waste of money
I have had this headset two times and it got destroyed after about two months each time. Also the sound was not impressive. I then bought a AKG headset for half the price and had never heard anything more beautiful. Don't buy this. Only thing I can think is that it would be a nice headset to use when you go for a jog. But it gets broken so easily you would probably not even get to your door.

Lightweight, distortion-free headphones perfect for travel
I use these headphones on the road,because they are pretty good. The sound quality,material quality and the utility is perfect. In an interview David Guetta says "The sound is better than anything I’ve experienced before because it doesn’t distort no matter what volume I am playing music at. They’re easy to travel with because they’re so light and compact."

Not to overpriced
Well I bought this headphone like 2 months ago and it feels not really comfortable on your ears, it clamping so hard and sometimes hurt your ears. I bought this for $170 I think, but the sound is pretty good. When you play it loud the sound still clear, and you can say that this headphone is loud! The build quality looks pretty nice tho but for the price yeah it's a little bit overprice but it's good to buy item! Another plus for the design :D
sorry for my english

Truly amazing.
Not only is the sound on these amazing, but the design equally matches the greatness of their sound. Wasn't a fan of Beats at all before I got these after hearing good reviews about them. They sound much more well balanced than any other headphones of the Beats range, and light and strong, with a metal frame. Would recommend to anyone.
