4 out of 5 stars for Dr. Dre’s Monster iBeat headphones. Besides the sleek design and the “b” on the outside of the ear piece, beats has sold me on sound quality. Bass pounds and vocals still remain clear. Being quite rare in comparison to other manufactures such as SkullCandy, Sony, and surprisingly Bose; home trails thanks to my local Best Buy. 1 star was left out which would have made these headphones perfect. The compatibility issue with my android smartphone restricts me to use the remote control on the speaker piece; hence the “i” before ibeats, restricting functionality to just iPhones, iPads, and iPods. Worth the $ and worth the $15 Black Tie Protection plan, because I’m constantly plugged in.
