Stylish, compact & great quality

The Monster headphones by Dr. Dre Beats Solo HD RED Special Edition with ControlTalk are expensive (looking at around £169.99) headphones. However, the quality is superb. I noticed the headphones were featured on many music videos and whorn by many celebrities, and they looked great! I've always loved to headphones because they are comfortable and block out more sound that ear-phones do.

I ordered the headphones from 'www.beatsbydre.com' (the official website) and they came with free and very fast delivery. The packaging is brilliant, good quality, clean and well designed. The headphones came with a some small booklets, a cleaning cloth, carry case, spare tangle-free wire, ControlTalk tangle-free wire and obviously the headphones.

The glossy red finish makes these headphones brilliant eye-catchers, good for people like me that walk round with them around your neck. They also fold up into a compact shape which fits perfectly in the carry case. The plastic does catch fingerprints easy but it's hardly difficult to clean them now and then anyway.

They are very comfortable, but after some time they do leave a little pain because they are on-ear rather than over-ear headphones. The music quality wasn't as good as I expected too, but still much better than most other headphones.

In case you didn't know, when you buy these headphones (only in red) some of the money goes towards helping fight AIDS in Africa thanks to (PRODUCT RED).

I recommend these to people that love a good, stylish pair of headphones to walk around with and to listen to music often. For people that listen to music long-hours almost everyday and normally just in-doors I think you would be better of with over-ear headphones rather than these (preferably the Beats by Dr. Dre Beats Studio, looking at around £279.99).

Overall I am personally very happy with these headphones. The biggest issue I have is that they seem a little painful after a bit of use.

I hope this review will come in useful.
