I was introducted to these Beats By Dr. Dre tour earbuds/earphones in-ear headphones last year. The features they have, like noise-canceling and the ability to pump out bass help you to isolate yourself away from the sounds coming from the very real world around you. Setting the volume to a medium level will ensure that anything on the outside will have somewhat of a hassle getting between you and your music. With that being said... there are a few times when the earphones simply can't get the job done without causing a bit of distortion.
We tested a number of types and genres of music and artists with the Studio over ear headphones and got some surprising results. When listening to Death Cab for Cutie's "Stay Young, Go Dancing", Ben Gibbard's vocals sounded a little deeper and lower than usual, almost as if the bass was masking his voice from coming in sharper. But when it comes to guitar heavy tracks, the bass-happy Beats do an impressive job at flushing out all the layers found even on songs that are more heavy on mids and high sides... in fact, something like "Monday Morning", again from Death Cabs Code's and Key's album. If you're not familiar with this song, just google it.
Now on the spectrum of lows and tracks with much deeper bass, you get songs like "Around the World" by Daft Punk and Madeon's "Pop Culture", you see, you can't help but force yourself to knod your head. It's very obvious that it's this style of dance and even hip-hop is what these particular set of earbuds were actually designed for. For anyone who isn't a picky audio person, the in ear headphones are more than enough to get the job done on just about any piece of music. But sometimes there are exceptions that anyone could notice easily. For instance now, when listening to Foster the People's "Helena Beat", it's an intro that can be a bit messy and a little too much for the ear buds to handle as there's just too much emphasis on every single piece of sound that it just sounds like a big mess of, well... pick-up sticks.
Songs are either a hit or a miss, and so very random that it's all dependant on the style, recording, and way that the instruments come into play with each other. For instance when listening to Come On, Come On's "Pop Fiction" it feels like there's just too much happening all at the same level of sound. When the back vocals start coming in, especially. But in other instances, like Never Shout Never's song titled, "First Dance", the Studio over ear headphones can easily take on Christoher Drew's vocals and all the back up lalalala's, drums, and even the ukelele like a piece of cake.
So in all in all, drums and guitar riffs can easily get jumbled together but it all depends on what you're listening to and which show off some of the headphones weaker side, though and that they are rare and far-in between for anyone who can give a pair of Monster Cable Dre Headphones some slack in the audio dept.
