The product of a collaboration between rapper turned mega producer iBeats and premium cable manufacturer Monster, the iBeats are a set of premium earbuds with an eye-catching style. Ostensibly they're designed to give a generation raised on the MP3 and cheap 'came-with' headphones access to the full range of sound that they could be hearing but aren't. First of all, it's completely safe to say that the iBeats are constructed as well as any set of headphones I've ever used. This comes from a place of some experience as I spent 7 years in the AV trenches selling audiophile quality headphones and other equipment to customers interested in the best, no matter the cost. The attention to construction quality and usage details in the iBeats is pretty remarkable considering that they fall solidly in the mid-range arena at $120 retail.
Notably, the specially designed iBeats cables make tangles a thing of the past, and for total user comfort and flexibility, three custom-fit eartip sizes ensure secure fit every time. We live in a time when most young people experience music for the first time from a terribly compressed file to an inadequate earbud. IBeats are made very poorly and don't come close to reproducing the music in your iPod. Beats has come up with an affordable comfortable solution to buy for your iPod. It makes no sense to have an iPod and then have an earbud that doesn't deliver half the sound and emotion.
