Good tracking and distortion
Terrible isolators
Not hugely comfortable
Bass boosted way out of proportion
Introduction
The Monster Beats Pros are a set of higher-end closed-backed over-ear headphones with a very rugged build and high amount of flair. They perform well enough, but they have a very heavy bass response and little in the way of noise attenuation or isolation, but overall they aren’t a bad buy. They fall far short of the advertised moniker of “high-quality professional headphones,” but don’t let our cynicism stop you; it’s more of a semantic argument against an ill-informed marketing department than anything.

$99.954Sennheiser CX 680i
The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
