These headphones are meant for studio monitoring, not casual use. Not to say they wouldn't work as day to day headphones it is not ideal. They don't look "bad" but they aren't the most appealing set of headphones. My personal opinion is that if you are looking for style go with beats, but if your looking for build and sound quality along with the price factor go with the audio technicas.

The m50s are pretty minimal in their branding and design but in my humble opinion, they are great looking headphones and would look nice on public. Plus, you get the added bonus of those who know their way around audio giving you mad kudos for your choice in headphones.

Beats does not even come close to these headphones. I love Sound, but NOT JUST SOUND, but Great all around sound. Beats, is over priced and over hyped. I have tried beats,, and i am sorry, its crap to me. If you are into High End Sound, then these are the headphones you would like to get. I did, and i am very happy with the sound.

I have the wireless beats in Gold and have the m50x. yes the m50x sound better but for working out and running around Im always with the beats. They do look good especially if you get the gold and have blond hair. People are always asking me about them so i think its more of a fashion accessory. The bright side is if u bang the beats around at the gym and bring them to the apple store they can replace them 10 months later.

Yea they look really cool, not too bulky, and they are sleek and comfortable. But headphones aren't the answer to your style issues, hit the gym and stop wearing jorts.

These are professional type headphones and they are classical in appearance. I would but its a matter of own preference

They look decent but not close to dre in terms of looks. But in sound quality guess they easily beat the dre !

Ignore the person who said they are "minimal" in design - these are bulky headphones. Get a decent pair of earbuds if you want to enjoy your music around town, leave these at home.

If you want your other Beat-wearing people to think you're cool, then no. If, however, you want everyone else to think you're cool, then yes.Considering that most people aren't a part of the Beats phase, I would have to say that these look better in public than Beats and also keep people from believing you make poor financial decisions.

HI. The answer is yes. they right back off,and really clean too. The Beats have a really slick surface and the skinz are ,a type of rubber + so they adhear as well.

It depends on what type of music you listen to. Beats headphones are known for their bass. If your music that you listen to has a lot of bass in it then I would suggest to beats headphones

These really aren't the best headphones for that. Not to mention they shouldn't be used outside if you want to keep them working.Their fluffy cloth that pads the headphones will probably make you sweat more. For practice you need something that is less fluffy and more leather/plasticy like.

They are good not like Beats by Dre but still a descent quality of headphones to have for your laptop or computer. You'll still get great quality

They are not as "thumpy" as the Beats but I personally like that- if you are looking bass that bounces you out of your sneakers these are not the ones for you.

Well its by the official beats seller page, but i ask you to ask your self are theres headphones the best headphones for you? Because the sound like beats, not that thats a bad thing if you only listen to rap and other bass heavy music. If your going to listening to anything else these are not the head phones for you, my best suggestion (based on what have used and own) the ath m50x or ath m70x are what i use for every thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yoAj-PRsZ0

No. You'd probably want IEMs for jogging. Headphone looks weird not to mention these are quite uncomfortable/hot to wear.

Hey man, so I think these headphones are more suited for edm style music. But, they still sound pretty great for other genres of music. The bass sounds a little too strong for my taste in rock and metal but if that's something you like by all means get them. I would recommend trying them out before you purchase them to see if they fit your preference, check online quite a few electronic stores carry them.

Yes, and they are light and comfortable to wear, however, I do not think that they are intended for this type of activity and I suspect that you will not enjoy wearing them as they are obviously an over the ear design. You will be amazed at how much control they give you to either cancel noise or increase your hearing. I have no doubt they will protect your hearing, as to whether they are a fashion statement...in the eye of the beholder.

Yes they fit over the ear but they are a bit heavy. They sound really good for the money I wouldnt buy the beats.

Yes. They have pretty good sound quality and are comparable to the Beats Solos, but some people say the bass on these is not as good as the Beats but its still pretty good. I have only had them for a few weeks but they do not feel cheap and seem pretty durable.Also, the pouch they come with will protect them somewhat. Hope this helps.

Beats isn't really good. They sound muddy and is not worth $300. When you buy the beats, you're pretty much paying for the brand, not the sound quality. But the beats do have good bass. And they do look great.On the other hand, the bose 15 has better sound quality, clarity, and amazing noise cancellation. The bose are smaller and weight less then the beats. You can wear bose for hours. That's how comfy they are. The beats start to hurt your ears after about an hour. In my opinion I kinda like how the bose 15 look. It all comes done to this: looks or sound quality.

There just better they won the 2009 mix technology of the year award & have a flat frequency response. If your an audiophile you should know beats are a P.O.S they attenuate the bass frequencies and get ride of the mids and highs and leak a ton. Where as these don't leak heavily like beats cause the Audio Technicas are closed backed headphones so there are good to record on the mic. Also they don't have noise reduction which always reduces the quality of the audio. I also find the audio technicas pretty comfy I can wear them for hours on end without my ears starting to hurt. Furthermore, I feel the beats are more comfortable because of the pads. Also the poor construction of the plastic make them feel flimsy they leak and people can hear what your listening to. But if your an average consumer and not an Audio Engineer, Singer, or Audiophile & more conceded with how beats look buy the beats.

Hi Gerell, The Urbeats has a lot of bass. I am VERY happy with mine. You will like them also. They are tangle free and durable. Urbeats are worth it.I hope this will help you.

No. They are good responsive studio type headphones for everyday and personal use.
