@@arnox4554 i had first beats by dre and also bought fake ones, the fake ones sounds much better than the real one :D
@@arnox4554 They did. They were the forerunners of "just give 'em some bass and throw a 500% price rise on 'em"

Haha, yeah
Lmao yep
Also I totally bought the DT 990 Pros, the open backs, half off your recommendation, and they're *glorious*.
Nice.
yes
I remember spending my first paycheck on beats back in high school. My dad asked me how much I paid and when I told him he wanted to try them. He then proceeded to make me listen to these old ass headphones he's had for 20 years and they murdered the beats. I wanted to return the damn things after that
Oh Lord 😂
Do you remember what those old headphones were?

But what were the headphones
@@fireskul6613 if you want really damn good sounding headphones that haven't ever really been updated in technology the Koss Porta Pro headphones designed for the walkman are an insane value for cheap

One day you'll have the money and maybe you'll spend it on a pair of headphones you love. At least you'll know better than buying the Chinese slave factory garbage.
Ay man there’s plenty of good and cheap headphones
Dank has a couple videos about that
Sony needs to promote their audio engineers, give their marketing department more money, and fire whoever names their products.
Wh = wireless headphones
1000x = model number
M4 = Mark 4 (like iron man suits) = device version.
Yeah.. I agree, they should have a better name
@@PedroNogueiranunes I just call them XM4's and that still sounds awkward

@@solidkeys they still ain't cheap tho. £100 is nothing to laugh at

@@Xbs_Rebass I have the sph9500s and I think they're dope.
You don't even have to use headphones to be an audiophile a good pair of earphones works great too like mine that came with my phone an AKG usually AKG makes very good open back headphones because they ARE the pioneers of openback headphones and let me just say the earphone works as if you're using a headphone
These guys ruined my early days into audiophile stuff. I wanted to get serious about headphones and when Beats first launched back then, I completely bought into the hype as a kid. Absolutely hounded my mother into buying them. Maybe these are a bit better than the first gen ones, but they were a complete disappointment for the money and I swore off any expensive headphones ever since. Dank is actually the person to get me back into spending more than 10$ for some headphones. Also the design and even crack of the hinges sounds identical to mine from 2013- I seriously dont think they've updated them at all.
How is your audiophile life now?
Beats were better when they were still partnered with Monster. Monster supplied the speakers for the Beats. After Beats By Dre ended their partnership with Monster in 2012, it just went downhill from there.
Exactly. Their brand representation was really good. Fooled me when I was a kid too. No matter how hard I tried to believe that it's worth the price it just doesn't. Hell even some knockoff appears to be better sometimes because of the value u can get for low price
@@donairechristianpThat’s an interesting take considering the general consensus is that Beats improved when they started making their own stuff in-house without Monster Cable’s assistance and after Apple acquired them years ago.
I’ve always disliked bass enhancement headphones, even though bass is my favorite flavor. Mostly cause they’re marketed towards people who don’t understand sound stage, over priced and garbage build quality. Basically, beats lol.
100%
DUDE BONSAI POP IS HERE :D
@Gabriel Gledhill there are some headphones made to have rattle sound keeping every detail, the drawbacks is a pleasing and very dynamic sound with great stage, but it's nothing flat. Believe me i had a pair that had that coloured sound when you can hear every little detail, but when Mixing it's trash, completely... You end up not boosting the bass but enhancing wrong frequencies.
@Gabriel Gledhill Eq adds distortion and you are making the driver do more work, i wouldnt exactly call the hd600 the best thing ever, even with eq. Eq cant fix everything guys.
My favorite flavor is blue.

yep, SOLID POINT. 🤣I got beats X and the flex, really just enjoy how they look for the most part. Have to say, beats flex is really convenient tho, with its auto pause function.
Wow, felt weird seeing the headphones I was using to listen to this pop up. My only complaint with the WH-1000X model i've got is that the touch controls can't be turned off and they sometimes get activated by random things or even the cold, and that makes them *CALL* people in my contacts... Yeah, not fun! It hasn't lead to anything all that bad though, and since these have basically single-handedly saved my peace of mind every day for a couple of years (I have misophonia) I can't imagine getting any other ones. It's noise cancelling all the way, baby.
The touch panel can be turned off in the app. I do understand if you haven't noticed it, however; it's buried deep into the fourth slide menu where you change languages.
You can turn the touch controls off in the Sony headphones app
I have turned the touch controls off. I am pretty annoyed with not having any controls on them, but they were so bad... Every time I adjusted them they paused the music.
Open the app, go to system, and hir the gear on assign touch sensor function
you should be able tortnrn it off from there
@@KevinEnjoyerthank you
After seeing this I went and bought the Sonys, and I love them. I had to EQ them to get better top end, but I love how they sound. My home office faces a busy road, and with these on I barely notice it. And the case is awesome too!
Same here. Got them for christmas about a year ago. I had beats, but the earpads were falling apart and I wanted to get these. Great headphones for the price, just need a bit of tweaking on the eq.

@@R9000 YoYoYo! its random youtube commenter here with a comment.
Charging $450 for plastic costume jewelry is still thought of as theft in the jewelry world. Beats are shit and a good way to advertise ignorance. Beats are an understandable purchase for the ill informed purchase of a preteen trying to look cool with parents money, but nothing more.
@@R9000 Jewelry holds value longer than used electronics. And Jewelry goes out of price point FAST.
At the very least, some people really do enjoy the look of certain gems, but if that look can be recreated by synthetic means than it shouldn't matter.
Gold and gems should be used in far more useful applications, like conduction or sharpening stones or something. People wearing jewelry if it can be a recreated look with fake is really really dumb as well as a bad investment.
Designer electronics even more so.

I bought the XM4s on Black Friday last year after my buddy were praising the XM3s to hell and back, and I needed a new pair of wireless headphones for work. Yeah, the touch controls are iffy and act weird, but overall, I do not regret buying these.

I owned a set of Beats Wireless and they were my daily driver for a couple of years, you're right, they're perfectly mediocre. Once I switched to a decent pair of studio headphones I was blown away by how much better they sounded. Also they cost me less than half what the Beats did.

I personally love my XM4's, they're convenient and versatile, they're great to take to the office in huge part because of the carrying case. I remember buying them almost on impulse one day during a break at the office. Now I'm getting some Grados sr80s to have some more balanced stay at home headphones to compliment the Sony's
I remembered a few years ago when asked for a Christmas present, the only viable options from the catalogue was a pair of Beats and a pair of Momentum 2.0 On-Ear headphones from old buddy Senn. You bet I took the Sennies mate, they're amazing! I still use those suckers to this day before Momentum delved into Bluetooth Earbuds and whatnot.

Title: Says beats
The video: *Sony WH-1000XM4 review*
And because of that... I bought the XM4s.
I have a 2nd hand beats. Very average
I work at Best Buy, I know little to nothing when it comes to headphones, I mostly like watching dankpods just cause he's hilarious but I'm also learning! And every time I find out some overpriced product (such as beats) are not as high quality as they like to make people think I get all smug. Also, Sony and Sennheiser are our most popular and highly reccomended headphones in store, I had a guy a few weeks ago who'd gotten a pair sennheisers, they wore out and we didn't have the same ones so he got some beats instead, came back a week later saying he hated the beats and we ordered the same sennheisers for him. One of our headphone guys also reccomends sony over bose or beats for affordable but also high quality headphones. We live in Canada so the price is super inflated in relation to the US price, but I recently got some Sony 710s and I think they're the best headphones I've had, I spent $90 on them with employee discount and on sale, they're usually $250 which as much as I like them, I wouldn't pay *that much* for them, so seeing dankpods endorse Sony, even if they're not the exact ones I have, feels very nice.
I have a pair of XM4s and I absolutely love them. Only pain is that my right swivel mount ended up breaking so the right cup dangles wherever it wants. Sometimes when I want to enjoy music past my AirPods I’ll use a headband around the right cup, it’s goofy but it works. Incredible audio
I have those OG Beats Studio, they were really nice, really great, when I got them they were $199. However, Grado are better, and monitor ones are much better...and my ear cups began to peel as well...
Nice to see ye proto mario!
my earcups started to peel too, and they broke around the glossy plastic part and i had to fix them with a steel plate and epoxy and theyre not pretty
Hey proto
Hello Mr. Proto I didnt expect to see you here
*Insert obligatory "But Proto..." line here*
Yeah, back when Monster owned the brand, they were better. Especially the Studios (even though they still are focused on bass).
Sadly by the end of the Monster era and in the current Apple era they have become a joke in the audiophile community and music lovers alike.
What I find funny is that my Galaxy Buds sound better than my old Beats Solos. They lasted me quite a while before I sold them on eBay. I liked using them but i sweat a lot during high school and I sweat VERY easily and the plastic rubber glued on head band that sits on my hair comes off easily and kept doing RMAs on them. I honestly should have asked for Sony's but because Beats were super popular in the 2000's and early 2010's that I kept asking for them for Christmas.
I know better nowadays and know that next time I buy nice headphones. I'll definitely find those old AKGs or even Grados. (Seeing how I have the Galaxy Buds G1 and Corsair Void Pro RGB Wireless for Gaming, i might not throw money on headphones anytime soon.)
There's something gratifying about hearing praise for a product in the same line as one you own... like you accidentally made a good choice that is quantified by someone who knows the math instead of just bein like "it sounds good".
*Feelin real smug right now in my Sony WHSGY1000MSX3,s right now*

Exactly
LOL. I got the studio 3s. I still love em and they have worked perfect for over two years after using them 10 hours plus ever single night. I like those Sony's a lot though and will probably be what I get next.
@@20TonChop I wish my Studio 3 experience was as good as yours. They snapped just after the warranty ended. (so barely over a year of use) They weren't dropped or anything and I barely traveled with them, but one time when I tried to fold them the hinge just broke. They've been broken for a while now but I think I'm going to try to glue them back together.
My first pair I got of Beats I got for my birthday one year. They were a nice pair of the full metal Executives. They lasted maybe a year before the speakers went out. Luckily we had the Best Buy replacement thing. And boy was it a shock to my family when the only replacements available were all plastic and absolutely cheap. Those plastic ones lasted six months and I went through two pairs of those before we decided to screw that and switched for a pair of Bose instead. And those ones lasted much longer and sounded 10x better.
Had them years ago as my first over ears and thought they were amazing. Then I got the Sony xm3's and was utterly blown away.. Some time ago I got a pair of used HD 599's and was again blown away by how much better sound can be. Especially considering I only paid the equivalent of a modestly thirsty evening in the pub for them.
Now I ordered hd600's and an amp/dac from fiio.
I hope that wasn't a mistake. I already feel like Stan in that one episode of southpark were everything looks and sounds like shit to him.
Edit:
I guess I'll just have to live with a dac strapped to my phone from now on. It has become quite an obession to find all the little details in every tune I find.
Have you tried Bluetooth dac like Fiio BTR5 or ifi go blu? They are pretty good.
@@zenniz1992 that's definitely on my list. I wanted to make sure it's not the amp clouding the experience. So right now I use a fiio q3 which I attached with a sp connect mount to my phone, as I already used that system to attach it to my bike

I had a Studio pair between either 2016 or 2017 and 2019. Mom got them for me as a gift (don't remember if it was for Christmas or my birthday).
I thought they were pretty good, as the headphones I had up to that point were inexpensive and didn't last long. The noise canceling was also a plus, as I have sensory issues (particularly with sound) and I could just drown out my surroundings with my choice of music.
That said, I had some issues with the Beats and my opinion of them wasn't that high in the first place. The noise canceling was becoming less effective at some point, the ear pads were leaving blue residue (it got especially bad when I was sweating; couple Queensland's climate with a body that's better suited for a cooler environment, and you have a recipe for disaster) and they started peeling (gotta love that cheap faux-leather). I put up with it because I didn't really have the money for anything better (particularly in 2019, as I was going to a university at the time) and I knew little about good headphones.
I got the Bose QuietComfort 35 II as a replacement. They're still going strong, though the pads are also starting to peel.
I get it, we all want that thumping bass that we feel on concerts or at the clubs when we really want to feel the music (with a prominent bass). The thing is, even though essentially all of the electronic music that intentionally have so much focus on bass do crank up the bass/sub compared to other genres, the methods used to achieve balance on regular listening devices at home is with other techniques than just boosting the bass even more. Think of the kick drum on a set, it has a low thump and resonates higher up on the spectrum at the same time, which we percieve as punchy when done right. If you remove the top end from a kick drum it will sound more like listening to a heartbeat. So a lot of the time in bassy electronic music they often have the bass have some top end as well, and tease you with not having much of a bass or a kick until the drop where the contrast to the previous sections will make it sound way louder, and then they also use things like sidechaining so that the kick can punch through the bass (making the bass quieter or silent all together) as our brains basically will percieve the bass as continuous even though it actually sounds more like putting your fingers in your ears when the kick is supposed to hit if you listen to the bass with sidechain alone.
Additionally, cranking up the bass might seem like a good idea in general, but our ears tend to compress sounds to not get overwhelmed. If you accidentally put play on a song on a late night dance club level of volume you won't be ready for it (similar to shining sunlight in your eyes when you've been in a very dark room, takes time to adjust) AND that we tend to sort of make an "average" calculation of the sound as a whole with the ear's compression. It's not that the mids or high end aren't there, even when you crank it up a bit, but when the ear adjusts to you turning up the volume it will still not make the mids or highs clearer as it's "averaged out" in a way. Sub is slightly different story, while at the clubs and concerts you will feel the low vibrations throughout your body, and that's a fun experience I agree, but they have to crank up the volume to seriously harmful levels to our ears to get that effect without it sounding like a mess of a rumbly "BRLGRLRLHGHRLGH"-bass and no other frequencies.
If you want that sensation at home while also being able to hear the music, maybe try the SubPac, which is a "backpack" that you put on to feel the vibrations of the music in your body. I don't know too much about it, but I've heard at least one person using it and saying it's alright. Additionally the company says that it can be used to enhance VR-experience and things like that (which might be true, but it's a super steep price for what I assume is kinda unrefined technology.

I swear, I was looking for a review of the XM4's by Dank and the moment I watch this one for the laughs, there it was, lmao
@@DarkFoX750 Same I looked for an XM4 video from him the other day and didn't find one but turns out it was hidden in here lol
Btw if you were interested, the song he uses to test his music is called walk through the park. Hope this helped.
Edit: The song is from TrackTribe.
thank you :)
Thanks mate
Oh thank you, I actually just subscribed and was about to ask what the song is
That song is like crack it’s so catchy
God i desperately needed this. Thank you 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
hey i've been looking for a high bass headphones and with a good price and currently I have been looking at Sennheiser HD 599 open backs would you recommend?
Beats are quite simply a scam.
They spend hundreds of times on advertising what they spend in their products.
A 50 dollar value set of headphones sold for 500. A scam.
Not surprised, since it's Apple (seriously, those guys charge three or four times what their phones cost to produce).
Apples phone are actually expensive af to make because they insist on using cutting edge technology for everything when there is no reason to. Shit like using parts that cost ten times as much as what most companies would use because they allow the phone to be a tenth of a millimeter thinner without making the case thinner. And using the worlds fastest and most power efficient mobile chips, but locking down the OS so you can't use the speed, and using tiny batteries so you don't even gain battery life from the advanced technology.
They are the main driving force behind most of the advancements in semiconductor design because they insist on having the worlds best technology no matter the cost, and regardless of if it actually allows them to make a better product. The new Macbooks are the only products they have ever made that actually benefit from this technology. Other than the original iPod, I guess.

The transition from a Beats review to a Sony XM4 review is smooth af
I used to work in retail at a well know fruit stand…
When we got Beats in the store I cannot describe how much I hated them. They sounded terrible but moreover we had to replace at least one set a week for how often the hinges would snap. During high seasons even more often than that. Wasn’t hard but I loathed how often I had to deal with replacing them.
I think inventory blew thru more of them for our floor units than we sold. 🤣
I tried the studio3’s, because there was a sale for them $160 at Best Buy. But as he said, the ANC is sub par, because at this point it’s over 4 YEARS old and apple still sells them on their site for $350 and acts like they’re new. Also, doesn’t have any sort of transparency mode, except when you’re getting a call/I think maybe on a call. There’s a bit of pass through when a call is coming in
Sony pulled out the ol' PlayStation Grey and said "Why mess with perfection?"
Sony is actually popping off with the WH-1000XM4s and the Playstation 5.
Imagine making headphones so cheap, they’re shown on the screen for less time than their competition, despite being what the video is about
This may be the most entertaining Sony XM4 (and also Beats) headphones review I’ve ever watched. Bravo!
My first pair of bluetooth headphones were the beats and I enjoyed them. However due to the build quality they only lasted a couple of years before the hinge snapped.
"A platypus"?
"A platypus on a 20 cent coin?"

Even the earmuffs have better noise cancelling.
I remember people taking them apart and noticed that it was only 13 usd to repair it.
@@ihatepokemonthings
hm sadly yes i have. i get it though, i love my ipad and iphone and airpods but more out of a convenience standpoint than them being an apple product.
would i trade in my 770 pros with dekoni earpads for beats? nah

@@IvanTube0 beyerdynamic gang
I love the sound testing with the ear microphone because I can hear what's wrong myself I'm not even a audiophile so the testing is just nice
I have the xm5 and it's great, and I even liked the touch controls! I love how when I think someone called my name I can just put my hand on the touch pad to hear everything going on.
I've seen lots and lots of bootlegs Beats by Dre literally sold on the side of the street for less than $10, I've seen them so much i started associating the actual Beats with cheap knockoffs lmao.
They may as well be for what you get at their usual price
Friend bought a knockoff back in the day, was like 50. They honestly didn't look or sound different. Never understood why people walked around with those cheap looking things.
@@nequastar1826 Straight up, some magazine did a teardown of Beats Solos vs a knockoff and the bill of materials was like one dollar different. And going by all the identical plastic moulding they were most likely made in the same factory.
@@ToastyMozart I’m not even surprised
To be fair, Beats at least have the quality to be considered $200 wireless headphones... they are like twice the price... mainly due to marketing...
You are paying for the ads and the fancier looking box...
Fun fact: the bass on the wh1000xm4 sounds way less overpowering when you turn the noise cancelling off
You can download the app, turn off the dumb bass enhance, and delete the app if you still want the noise cancelling
I've got these headphones and I agree, they sound super bassoverkill *out of the box,* however! After much playing around I've found that setting the in app EQ to [0~ 1+ 7+ 7+ 9+] does wonders!
Thing that really messed me up trying to make them sound more full and bright was I kept lowering the EQ but that just made it worse. I also like setting clearbass to 3+ (sooometimes 10+ with electric music) but that's just me.
ALSO if you have Dolby Atmos I highly highly recommend setting it to either Movie or Voice, either of those modes really take this to the next level and substantially improve any remaining muddiness left over after EQ.
@@vystorm yeah they have punchy bass for edm but I feel like they lack ALOT of sub bass that my vmoda had and I'm kinda sad but. Wireless soooo..
Solo Pros, Powerbeats Pro, Beats Studio Buds and the new Beats fit pro all actually sound great. They are well tuned and are all headphones made from the ground up by apple. These and the solo 3s definitely feel their age
Is the extra bass on the Sony drivers necessary for the noise canceling? In the way they phase cancel, as you mentioned they tried to optimize for bassy noises, you need to be able to drive hard to phase counter that.
“Aux cord for when they die”
Beats: lol no
Orks cord*
@@ghostchris519 you spell it orkzillary power?
@@ThePaperKhan tbh Orkzilliary power does sound like something a Weirdboy would talk about.
U mean _auwgzzilarie mawde_
Actually, my Solo 2 Wireless headphones (sadly broke, wire inside broke!) have a AUX port along with BT for when they’re dead.
DankPods: "Look at this stupid long headphone name!"
Watch companies: *nervous sweating*
Specifically some Japanese watch brands been taking notes from Sony.
Screens companies: 👀
@@jtcp27031 monitor companies as well
Tissot : *sweating
From my experience it is a Japanese thing. The guitar brand "Ibanez" is a really good example for that. The naming system makes sense if you are familiar with the brand.
i mean they dont sound awful. if you pair them with the built in effects you can add with the realtek drivers, you can get that same feeling of being in the studio with the band/artist that makes the songs
edit: I still have my old wired blue and red studios and they sound phenomenal and their cushions are 1000x better than the solo 3s i picked up a lil while ago. they have that same grippy cushion as the studios. to be fair, the cushions on my old ones are far less durable
All my peers had Beats by Dre, I use Sennheisers, my current model is the Momentum M2, they can work wired or Bluetooth, and when wired you turn them on for noise cancelling and amplification of your source. Plus extremely durable!
I forgot that beats were still a thing. Shows how much the entire industry improved to provide more high-quality sound that beats used to promise.
I can't believe I used to be believed beats are the best thing ever
Beats are so garbage
With my Spotify equalizer and tweaked settings, they sound excellent.
The appeal of beats is the style factor and nowadays even that is wearing off
I feel like other companies like Sennheiser, Sony etc. saw that people liked bass and decided to do it properly.
My ankles and knees make those really loud pops all the time, and that's my exact reaction: "Should I be satisfied, or should I be worried?"
Most likely worried i mean I can pop my ankles by moving them and pop my knuckles by closing my hands so
Depends. Typically popping in knuckles and most muscles in joints is caused by the popping of air bubbles in the joints that build up after a short period of time. But there can be other natural causes. For example my wrists and shoulders will make cracking noise every single time I twist them a certain way because they developed in an odd way where the bones will clack together. So there are natural explanations for popping.
I sound like bubble wrap everytime I move my ankles or wrist
Same
I'm listening to this video with a pair of Beats studio3 headphones, and as my casual/home headphones, these are pretty nice! Not the greatest sound quality money can buy, but it's comfortable and I like the sound. They aren't as punchy as my studio buds, tho.
I got mine on clearance, so I'll be nicer about it, but I'd be laughing and then crying if I got these for full price!
I bought them for 280€. Now when I look at it I wanna time travel and buy some xm3s for that price. They arent bad but like not worth that much:/
As someone who lived out of Beats for a year, then lived out of (and still lives in) the XM1000's, such a massive difference in everything. Don't just go designer brands because fancy, go with the better quality

I’ve owned 2 pairs of beats and honestly it’s one of the larger regrets of my life. Once before Apple bought them and once after. Trash. Both broke in the same spot while simply flipping them open. And I’m not talkin like a proper flip, I was just casually opening them from the folded position and they absolutely split. About 3 months out of each pair before they went to shit
2:13 who is this "Sennheiser"? Do you mean Senny?
The hinge click sounded like 20 dollar Sony headphones that suck
It reminded me of metal snappy things for tying back hair you used to be able to get out of vending machines in the late nineties and 2000s.
as someone using $5 sonys (temporarily since my earphones broke) can confirm
Ah yes opposed to those 20 dollar Sony headphones that don't suck
I cringed when he opened them up. At that price that's unacceptable.
Bruh, I use those $20 Sony headphones and they're easily the best budget headphones ever. Nah man, these things sound like $10 Onn branded Walmart garbage.
"You're perfectly cromulent with the sound?"
As long as they embiggen my music
I was heading to the comments just to check I heard that right 😅
@@JoshuaSmith2309 i played the part twice just to check 😅😅
He said that just as I saw this, that was immaculate
i have 40€ headphones that are sold by like 50 different companies on amazon, all with different branding, and i’m sure they use the same cheap hinges, the mufflers are probably better ( they didn’t stay in one shape, even though they’ve been laying around for a couple of months/years ), and they have artificial leather on the top instead of rubber. the buttons are okay, (not the best thing, but you don’t hear them a lot. i’m pretty sure they are strongly comparable in build quality, but they only cost 40€
I don't know if you read new comments on older videos but I would love to hear your opinion on the beats pro's which were meant to sound good at least for the standards from 10 years ago.
I like hearing the Australian man scream about headphones, mom
For a split second I was tempted to buy beats. Then I remembered that it wasn't 2010 and that I wasn't a teenager trying to look cool anymore xD
Heho minecraft number
I buy them because I genuinely enjoy them. Not too pricey, but well made. My power beats have lasted 5 years. Still going
@@victorjc5229 "Too pricey, but not too well made" - here I fixed it for ya mate!
@@pedrosilvamusician built well if they've been here with me for 5 years, and still working perfectly
@@victorjc5229 5 years is nothing, especially for something so expensive. DT770s they are not. Those tiny power beats will also just die out of the blue one day because tiny lithium batteries don't have a long shelf life.
The XM3s are my first nice headphones and I still love them. Only parts I don't like:
1) They're still headphones, so wearing them for outdoor work gets uncomfortable after a while.
2) The touch controls are annoying; I eventually turned them off. I would constantly be touching them accidentally and interrupting things. The worst was having to cycle through noise cancelling modes, complete with the voice telling me what mode I was in.
Check out Sony Pulse 3d. I am surprised how well these sound. I've not even tested them wired, the wireless sounds so good. The dongle works on windows no problems. Not sure about mac.
The pads are perfectly angled and do not press hard at all. Feels almost like open headphones. No memory foam or anything but somehow comfortable and breathable
We thought beats were super bassy
But raycon, they passed that limit, and went into super bASSy mode.
Mate, the Skullcandy Crushers killed it
@@CarlosLopez-hg7ei i guess you could say... They crushed it
The studios that you slapped AA batteries in were the best for bass lol
@@timothyprice1281 u mean the executives ones right? 2012, i got one yesterday, the bass is way less than studio 2 and 3 but its well calibrated
You must have bad hearing. Raycons sound way better than this shit.
I just want some Trebles by Dr. Phil.
This joke hasn't been appreciated enough. It's fucking brilliant.
lmao
@@maxihax2187 did you
did you think I didn't know that??
beats is the company, not actual beat of the music.
beats has lots of bass
therefore the joke make total sense and I can't believe I had to fucking explain it.
LMAO it was just a dumb joke I had in my head. No need for big brain evaluation.
Forget Beets By Dre, I want Carrots by Dr. Oz.
Just picked up some perfectly cromulent Beats Studio 3 at a yard sale for $5 because the ear cushions were shot. No other issues. I ordered new cushions for a few bucks. I'm satisfied with my purchased.
I ended up getting the WH-1000xm4's on sale after the newer XM5 variant came out (didn't like the new design) and they are AMAZING!
I saw a recommended EQ settings that use and it corrects some of the issues addressed with base and such.
The app really elevates them too. You can pair 2 devices at once so I can have phone and laptop at once. (But only audio from 1 and its little touchy with switching.) There are 20 levels of ambient sound you can set. As well as the ANC and going full transparency mode with the hand on the ear cup.
The touch controls are sometimes a little fiddly but very convenient too.
Works with both Google Assistant and Alexa.
High end clarity when switching to beats: *adios*
