I bought these beats 1 year ago, mainly for use on buses travel etc.

Like with all monster products the earbuds come in exceptional packaging containing all the useful information, as well as a carry case.

The case is a small but sturdy case, pocket sized and perfect for keeping the ear buds in your pocket while out and about. In this case there is also room for the extra ear pieces and clips which are used during workouts when the beats my fall out.

The earbuds themselves have perfect clarity, and with the right ear pice fit in the ear perfectly. Beats have a reputation for an 'overpowering bass' something these earbuds do not have, what they do have are perfectly tuned mids and highs, and the quality is exceptional - something helped by the gold plated cable.

Another great feature added to the later versions is the control talk. This enables you to receive calls, pause music and change the volume. This really handy (I have found this myself) as you don't need to keep getting your phone / iPod out.

1 year on, despite beings bit dirty as they are whiteb my tours are in great condition and still sound fantastic.

Worth the money, with beats you get quality throughout.
