I had the beats studios. They should noise cancellation the other way around. When I first bought them I was sitting in the room with rap music playing. Wife wasn't happy as the kids could clearly hear the swear words of the song. I couldn't refund them so sold to cex.

These are the old model and are absolute rubbish, and I'm saying that as an owner of the newest Studios, which are actually very good headphones.

If you can afford £30 more I'd seriously consider the ATH-M50X from Amazon. They're closed back so doesn't leak sound and are genuinely brilliant...the reviews speak for themselves

They'll still look like beats so will serve their main purpose and if they're cheaply made enough should sound like them as well. Oh snap!

The 1st generation is really bad.
Do not waste your money on it.
Most headphones at this price range would be way better than them.
If you only want Beats, buy the new generation.
It is a mystery to me that how do Beats get so much popularity and get public acceptance when their first products are such bad quality, bad sound.

I'm currently on holiday in Tenerife ,
Was looking at fakes in playa de las Americas . Done some bartering . Solo HDs are 10€ (£7.50) blutooth versions are 20€ ( £15) approx .. Didn't ask about the studio range but they were about dearer to start with ... So bought some as sticking fillers.. Ordered some of these genuine ones for my self , and also the 20€ blutooth ones as they have a slot for a micro sd card and fm radio which is ideal for when I'm running , if they don't last don't matter as the kids would still wear them as a fashion accessory anyway ... They have some here at 5€ about £3.50 but they are mono and not stereo and the wire is fixed so once it's broke that's it . But at £3.50 not really a problem lol

There's sellers of Beats Dr Dre Mixr on-ear headphones but a) I can't self-promote* b) I don't have 1,000 feedback for under £100 so can't link. For less than £40 more, I would get brand new Mixr over these....

Is Studio better than Executive?
krisward7955
15 Dec 15#69
Executive are noise cancellation.
krisward7955
15 Dec 15#70
From someone else not me
"I have used both extensively. Studios are much better bass and are better with deeper sounds. If you Listen to rock R&B and rap get Studios. If you listen to pop country etc get Executives. Executives are quieter than the studios. The Execs have much better noise cancellation than the Studios. I recommend the Beats studios. The studios also do feel slightly more flimsy but they are both very durable. Studios have better battery life and can be used without battery life just with suffering sound quality while Execs can't do that. Execs are better with high notes"

17 Dec 15#80
They defo are orginal, must say sound good after further testing. does anyone know how long one can listen to these headphones on full volume without causing damage to health/ear. it's so tempting to have them on full blast. I listen to them roughly half and hour ish at a time.

You get 1 x headphones and 1 x cable. The cable is poo, the headphones sound good and feel good. The hinge looks solid, the beats markings on the hinge don't stand out so that looks genuine. The battery cover doesn't have a serial number on the back. The battery holding looks cheap. Think that's about it,
ifitsfreeitsmine
19 Dec 15#89
Cheers, mine finally arrived
Looks pretty good, sound pretty good, no serial number but I got genuine cable but in the wrong colour. The battery holder compartment looks cheap so probably been replaced. No case or accessories.
Verdict: good, will probably keep them.

19 Dec 15#90
Thanx for that info. I'll email them again, I would keep them if the cable was genuine. The mic button spins on the cable and will break anytime.

Please keep up informed how you get on with groupon cs.
Been playing with the headphones for the last couple of hours, very impressed.
I received a genuine red beats cable with white headphones, the cable was wrapped with a Velcro band. I thought it was a wrong colour cable but after some research it's the correct cable supplied by beats. Very happy, so much so was going to buy another but all sold out :disappointed:

19 Dec 15#92
anyone got a serial number on the inside near the ear cup ?, mine does not, seen online with code near the cup .cable is rubbish no logo at all and inside the batt cover should be a dr dre signature ....none on mine :-( engraving of beats is smooth as should be , just not sure a

The fake ones have loads of different qualities. Some are easy to notice and some look genuine. I've been waiting 2 weeks for a refund now and still nothing. Terrible company. Even told them that on Twitter after they ignored all my message. UK customer support isn't in the UK. I get emails at 3am asking for proof I posted them back, even though my account on their website says they have refunded me
