High Efficiency and Isolation Means You Can Play It Loud
The World’s First Tangle-Free Cable  Included tips in multiple types and sized ensure a perfect fit  The revolutionary flat Monster cable means no cord tangles--ever |
Hear What You’ve Been Missing
At Monster we are true audiophiles, having researched audio technology for over 30 years to develop the finest audio cables, home theater speakers, and headphones. Now, we are proud to unveil Beats Tour featuring Monster’s newly developed driver design. Because the ultra-fast response time, the Beats Tour driver can accurately reproduce the full sound and details of today’s digital music with precise clarity, natural vocals, and big bass punch.
Get Lower Than Low
Most in-ear headphones simply cut off the low end of your music because they simply can't reproduce low audio frequencies. It took well over three years to develop and fine-tune the technology that makes Beats Tour bass so big, you'll think we put a subwoofer in your head. Dr. Dre would have it no other way.
In-Ear Noise Isolation
Beats Tour in-ear noise isolation cuts external noise for a better music experience than traditional earbuds. Beats Tour includes five pairs of earbud tips: three pairs of cone tips and two pairs of triple-layered tips for the most comfortable, secure fit that isolates you from unwanted external noise. With Beats Tour, you'll hear everything no matter how loud the rest of the world is.
Play it Loud With Full Power
Most earphones don’t have the power to play music at the volume some music lovers like us prefer. The large high-efficiency drivers and magnetic technology have been custom engineered to play loud without distortion so you can hear every note. Beats Tour delivers power and clarity that reveals the emotion in your music.
Designed for Apple Sound Check
The Sound Check feature on your iPod balances playback levels so all your music tracks play at a consistent volume. But if the volume difference between tracks is large enough, ordinary earbuds may not play tracks with Sound Check loud enough. Beats Tour drivers were engineered so you have all the power you need to rock out even with Sound Check on.
Monster High Performance Headphone Cable
At Monster, we know cable. The Beats Tour cable features Monster’s patented magnetic flux tube and Micro-strand construction to provide clear no-loss audio and reduced interference.
Product Description
Beats by Dre designed the Tour ControlTalk Headphones to let you experience music the way the musicians intended. Whether you are pounding hip-hop, blaring rock, or ramping up with an electronic barrage, these buds bring out every note with clarity. ControlTalk technology lets you use these quality phones as a hands-free device, plus you can run your media player from them too. Lightweight, durable design makes them a shoe-in for travel.

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...

Admittedly, what drew me first to this set of earphones was the design. Since I've owned many other high quality earbuds before with similar looks (Shure E4C, Bose, Apple, Senns.), I was looking for something different to go along with my new Zune HD. At first, I was a little skeptical because of some so-so reviews on the net. But because I could get these by just cashing in miles (18,000) from United Airlines at their online store, I decided to go for it.
After using these for about 3 weeks now, I can say that I am very happy with them.
First the positives: Nice build quality.
The material and fit/finish looks top notch. From just the look, one will get a sense that these are quality products. The flat cable is indeed tangle-resistance. During use, I either wound the cable around my Zune or just shove the whole thing in my pocket. After which, I could just shake it a few times, and the cable would be unwound. Could never do the same with my other earbuds.
Sound quality. Great, no disappointment. A caveat here is that you have to get the right fit, and this goes for all types of earbuds. I first tried the medium earpiece, but these were too small. I could never get a good seal so the sound was tinny with non-existant bass. I then switched to the flange-type (I call it christmas-tree) and ended up using the biggest ones. With these, I could get and most importantly, retain a nice tight seal, even during a work-out. The result is a powerful, tight bass with smooth mids. The highs are just right, not shrilling. With these, I can listen to music for a long time without fatigue.
Design. This is just a personal preference, but I like the design. Makes them stand apart from the all the other white earbuds that everyone has. Although the photos seem to suggest that these may protrude out pretty far from the ear, in actual use, they are quite flushed once put in. I think the reason for this is that there's a slight angle to the ear piece, which fits the contour of the ear more.
Now the negatives: A little hard to find the right fit. Yeah for some reason, it took me some time to find a good fit for these phones. With my other ones, I had a lot easier time.
The weight of the flat cable is a little heavy. During a long run, I need to use a clip so that the cable don't pull down and loosen the seal of the earbuds.
The extra ear pieces only come a little plastic bag. With the Apple in-ear phones, the earpieces come in a nifty capsule, which makes it easier to locate and store.
I would recommend these to my friends. Just make sure that you get the real ones from a reputable retailer, as I've read that there are fakes out there.
August 2010: Update. My pair of Beats Tour met an untimely demise through no fault of its own. During one of my flights, while the jack was still connected to the armchair audio, I had accidentally hit the jack with my knee. This caused the jack to snap in half.
I decided to call Monster to see if this was covered under the warranty. Surprisingly, they just said to send in the broken pair and they will send out a replacement, which just arrived last week. The new version of the Beats Tour has an updated jack with a 90 degrees bend instead of straight. I think this will definitely help out on the accidental breakage. I still love the Beats Tour and very impressed with Monster's warranty and customer service. But I now use a pair of Sennheiser PCX350 on my flights instead of the Beats Tour.

Color Name:Black|Size Name:One Size
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.

Awesome buds, but they fall out.
These are probably the best earbuds that you can possibly get, but they fall out a lot. They need to have more little bud things to fit different size ears. Read more
