Beats Tour™ Earphone

Big sound. Small package.

There’s a reason you never see artists in the studio with earphones. It’s rare to find big sound in something so small. But after years of research, Beats Tour earphones are among the first ear buds to hold their own against on-ear headphones.

Key Features:

Distortion-free.
Beats Tour earphones were made to handle music of all intensities and all volumes, letting you crank it up without distorting the sound.

Tangle-free cable.
Doesn’t matter how carefully you wind them up, cords and pockets just don’t mix. That’s why we’ve redesigned our cables to make sure they’re flat, ultra-flexible, and tangle-free.

Adjustable fitting sizes.
Music sounds better when it’s delivered right to your eardrum. Different size buds mean you get the perfect fit for your ear, making the audio deeper and more accurate.

In-line mic for calls.
Switch easily between music and incoming calls. No need to take off your headphones or talk into the phone like a walkie-talkie.

What's In The Box:

• Beats Tour™ earphones
• In-line control and mic cable (features may vary)
• Hard case
• Seven (7) pairs of ear tip fittings
• One year limited warranty

Product Description

Made to stream the soundtrack of your life with perfect, clear sound. Tour headphones were made to stream your favorite music. Seven pairs of different-sized ear tips ensure snug fitting buds. Accurate speaker design plays music back loud and full of detail.

I got these because they said compatible with Ipad. They lasted about a week of watching movies, then all you could hear was the music and not the dialogue. STAY AWAY!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars My Re-Review after 5 Weeks Usage, Is Zero Stars an Option? August 18, 2010

By Christian Postier

Color Name:Black| Size Name:0|Amazon Verified Purchase

Ok, I'm not one to bash any item really, I might over pay for a few things in Life... BUT... Let me tell you about these Headphones!!!

1st Off - Here's what Nice, Tangle free Design is EXCELLENT, should be the standard for all Headphones here on out.

Ok, thats it, thats all I got on the Pro's of these headphones!!

The CON'S Other than tangle free, EVERYTHING!!! 1st pair left earpiece went out, 2nd pair has exposed wiring everywhere, that little volume Control, the red cable comes out and you can see the wires.. On the earpiece, where it is black then right before the red cable there is a little silver piece.. well, that is plastic and poorly made plastic and it comes right off. If I were to seriously price these on construction quality, I promise I am not Lying, not more than 10 bucks! Im not being ridiculous either here, these are absolutely horrible when it comes to construction.. Apparently these have not gone through ANY Quality Assurance test whatsoever! I'm not an Audiophile so i can't sit and tell you that they sound tons better than other headphones.. Sound wise, when they work, sound great.

Sorry, long review, but until these have gone through to Version 2 and get updated with better quality construction, I would not recommend ANYONE buying these..

Oh, and AMAZON, NICEST, BEST COMPANY EVER, I feel soo bad for them selling these horrible headphones. They gotta eat the cost of shipping these back and forth for all the returns. Plus they are incredible when it comes to customer service, super responsive, super nice on the phone. They should pay you to take these out of their inventory, don't let the headphones crappy quality reflect on Amazon's great service...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sound!! December 3, 2009

By M. Respes

Color Name:Black|Size Name:0

I've used several in-ear headphones that have either died within 6 mos or didn't give me the sound that I was looking for. I cant give an audiophile type of review because it's not that deep for me. These headphones provide extremely deep bass. Some may feel they are overpriced, but paying that price is a choice.

I was looking for headphones that would primarily be used with my cellphone (Blackberry Tour) and iPod Touch. I did have the Beats Solo and although they provided great sound, they just weren't the type of sets to have on while driving. The control talk mic does all it's designed to do.

The bass is very deep and sound isolation- well lets just say, I don't hear a thing once these puppies are cranked up!! I'm also impressed that the cord is flat; something I havent seen on any other headset. It would take a LOT of work for the cord to ever become tangled.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too Bad... November 15, 2011

By up2ular

Color Name:Black| Size Name:0|Amazon Verified Purchase

Firstly the sound is not as good as imagine. Maybe it was my over-expectation the sound has nothing but bass. It works OK to the hiphop music. But it does not work to any other music types. What is even worse is, after 3 months purchase, the left earbud didn't produce the sound any more. That really upsets me with such short period of time of durability. Then I've contacted the customer service for return by email since I reside overseas. The service was so bad that not answering my question promptly and correctly. I need to repeat asking same question over and over. The company does not reimburse the shipping too. For overseas customer that means we have to bear the shipping fee that is due to the wrongdoing of product itself.
In nutshell to all.. it is highly, highly unrecommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Paying for the Dr. Dre Branding April 27, 2011

By TheHapaOne

Color Name:Black| Size Name:0|Amazon Verified Purchase

Ok so I'm not going to write a good review about a subpar performing product. I had initially purchased Monster Turbines since I was in the market for some higher quality performance headphones, I wish I didn't return them to get these.

First thing to note...I received 2 pairs of these in a week first pair left earbud blew out after <5hours of playtime, second pair there was a clear cracking/background sound not present on my original track.

I am not a earphone professional or anything like that however I do know good sound when I hear it (i may be a little biased since I like bass but still)...These earphones were far from the quality their price tag suggests. I payed 149.99 for the Beats with Controltalk and let me tell you they sounded similar to my $10 skullcandy earbuds they didn't pick up mid range well and the bass seemed to overwhelm other parts of the songs. After much speculation I decided to return the replacement pair for a refund of my money. Needless to say I would not recommend these to anyone that actually wants good sound quality. I have since purchased MEElectronics M21Ps and these produce a better sound quality for 1/3 the price.

et al. Pros: Dr Dre's name, controltalk function, Amazon takes returns

Cons: bad sound quality, earphones blow out easy, hard to find comfortable earbuds, build quality not good compared to other monster headphones
