4.0 out of 5 stars Great Redesign August 4, 2011

By wowza606

Color Name:White

The Heartbeats 2.0 are a great upgrade from the original Heartbeats, in pretty much all aspects. The sound quality is clearer in all ranges, the design is more flattering, and the comfort of these are miles better than the triangle-shape of the original. The flat cable is also much more light-weight, which is great, since one of the drawbacks I had with the originals was having the earbuds fall out due to a heavy cable and awkward shaped ear tips.

I did not order straight from Amazon (bought them in-store at Best Buy), so there were some differences in the included items. Instead of 6 sets of ear tips, I got 5, but it was still very easy to find the right one for my ears. It also included 2 sets of tiered ear tips, one large and one small. Instead of a hard case, it came with a small black pouch with a gold stud in one corner and diamond pattern on one side, and "Lady Gaga" written in Born-This-Way-font on the other, all in black, and very subtle. I don't use ControlTalk on my phone, so I can't review that capability, but it works well to pause, play, and skip through songs on my iPod.

I did not receive SportHooks, assuming those are the hooks that attach to the headphones and go around the ears, so I can't judge how well those fit or are designed.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase. As someone who owns 5 sets of various headphones, including Audio-Technica ATH-M50s & UrbanEars for over the ear, as well as Sony buds, Heartbeats 1.0, and now the Heartbeats 2.0 for in-ear buds, I would rank these as 2nd in sound, quality, and design (first goes to the ATH-M50s, of course!). And as a former graphic design student, can I just say that the packaging for all Beats products are gorgeous?... They really let the headphones shine, stand out, and add to the quality of what you're buying. The only thing keeping me from a 5-star review is the price, but what else would you expect from a master marketer such as Lady Gaga and Dr. Dre? Gaga reeled me in, and thankfully I'm pleased with the product. Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 stars Heartbeats 2.0 vs.Klipsch S4i February 10, 2012

By Book Babe

Color Name:Black|Amazon Verified Purchase

I currently own both the Klipsch S4i and the Heartbeats 2.0 and I will say that I honestly like both but for different reasons. I paired both of these earphones with a 5th gen ipod nano.

Design:

On shear build quality, the heartbeats have it. The flat tangle free cord seems to be much more durable than the Klipsch's very thin and round NON tangle free cord. My Klipsch earphones came with a tin case and I highly recommend you keep them safe in it at all times when not in use. The s4i's are not the kind of earphones you can just throw in your purse or pocket because of how fragile looking they are and also the issue I have with constant cord tangles whereas I do not have the same problems with the Heartbeats. Both earphone jacks are gold plated but the beats have the added benefit of an L shaped headphone jack that lies flat against my ipod instead of sticking straight up out of it like the Klipsch do. Style on the other hand is a highly personal choice. Some people will dig the look of the beats and some will prefer the more unisex and toned down look of the S4i's so it depends on your personal taste.

Comfort:

Although the heartbeats 2.0 are much more comfortable than the original heartbeats, they are not nearly as comfortable and weightless as the s4i's. The beats are heavier in ear and the tips are not as super comfy as the s4i's. Thats not to say that the beats are uncomfortable but you can definitely tell the difference in comfort between them. They both come with a great assortment of sizes for the round ear tips and they both come with the Christmas tree shaped tips for deeper ear canal penetration and noise isolation.... I had no issue with finding the right fit for my ears in with either brand of the regular round tips but unfortunately I was not so lucky with the ear canal tips. The problem is that the s4i's came with one set and size of the canal tips which were far too small and the beats came with 1 set of 2 different sizes that were either too large or too small.

Sound:

This is where I am torn. I love both. The S4i's sound is super clear and crisp regardless of what type of music I listen to. I listened to songs that I've listened to a million times with earbuds and without and when I listened to them with the klipsch, I could hear little details in instruments and vocals that I didn't even know were in those songs. The heartbeats on the other hand were not as clear sounding. Where the heartbeats excelled was giving me that thumping bass that I could almost feel and came the closest to giving me the same sound that I hear in dance clubs and some live shows I've been to. Because alot of the music I listen to is bass heavy, I loved this aspect of the beats but am sad that the s4i's were lacking that same awesome bass quality. Honestly if I could ever get my hands on a pair of earbuds that combined the best qualities of the heartbeats and the klipsch, I would be in heaven.

In conclusion, I believe the heartbeats 2.0 are best suited for those people who enjoy bass heavy music like club and rap, and want sturdy durable build quality. The S4i's are best for those who care more about sound clarity and comfort and are best for listening to classical for example where the detail and the clarity of the sound really matters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartbeats 2.0 August 11, 2011

By Heartbeats 2.0

Color Name:White|Amazon Verified Purchase

The heartbeats 2.0 were just flawless. It could handle the bass very well. All high and low notes could be heard. Very good design. It also has a flat cable which makes the cable tangle-free. Eveything was good, but they should have included the volume in the control talk. BUt oh well, at least there was a play/end/call button.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely amazing headphones! August 19, 2011

By S. M. Lam

Color Name:Black

Heartbeats V2 headphones are amazing! I also own the previous Heartbeats and absolutely love them, but this new version is in (almost) every way better!

The fit of the earplugs are much better and you have more tips to choose from (6 pairs of standard and 2 pairs of cone-shaped tips). The earplugs are very comfortable; I can wear them for hours and hours without any problems! The earpieces don't fall out so easily (which was major negative on previous Heartbeats) due to lighter earpieces and slimmer + lighter tangle-free cord. And the tangle-free cord is really handy: no more frustrations any more..they really never tangle!!!

The design is very cool..as we can expect always expect from Beats!

Only one negative thing I can think of: why did they ever remove the volume/forward-reverse buttons on the control-talk?!

But most important: the sound is amazing: rich deep bass and crispy clear sound! Although the previous Heartbeats already had amazing sound, they are off the charts in these headphones. I did not expect that sound quality would be so much improved! Beats by Dre really outdid themselves!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I was expecting December 30, 2012

By towerxvi

Color Name:Black|Amazon Verified Purchase

I purchased Lady Gaga Heartbeats 2.0 a year ago that I still own an love, however I just purchased another pair as a gift 12/26/12 and it was not the same as my old ones. This was purchased after a pair of UrBeats arrived defective.

The differences were slight.

Old was long and thin black box with a picture of Lady of Lady Gaga from Born This Way, new box is a white generic square box from Beats by Dr.Dre.
Old has a Monster Cable logo as the first stud on the cord, New one only has 4 plain studs, leading me to believe that this is not a Monster Cable.
Old cord has a asterix like line design on the cord, New has a similar one, but it's not as obvious.
Old set came with a Lady Gaga pouch, New one came with a Dr. Dre Beats pouch

This set also came with various ear tips but 2 pairs (4) were exactly the same and 1 set didn't match(3 tips exactly the same size).
