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

At Monster, sound has always been the most important to us, but when it comes to the headphones you use everyday, we were determined to get rid of the annoying ritual of untangling your earbuds every time you want to listen to music. After ten long years of passionate research, we finally found the solution. The new Beats Tour flat cable design is so revolutionary it's patent-pending. The Duraflex cable jacket is tough yet remains flexible while the flat profile virtually eliminates annoying tangles and snarls. With Beats Tour, you'll spend less time untying knots, and more time enjoying your music.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best I've owned, January 22, 2009

By	R. Cabot - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've owned the Bose in-ear and V-moda Vibe, and these are hands down the best out of the three. I can't say these are better than highly acclaimed earphones like etymotics, but as an owner of three earphones in similar price ranges I can say these are the ones to get.

Let me start off and say that when I first tried these, I put them back in the box to return. On all the other in-ears I've tried I used the medium tips, so I assumed it'd be the same with these ones. I put on the medium round tips and the sound was horrible. I was really disappointed. But later on in the day I decided to try them again after reading that the large triple flange were the best tips. After doing this, and also turning sound check and EQ off, the sound was amazing! The v-modas are good for bass, but the monster beats have an all around better sound. I used to think the bose in-ear were really good but they are the worst of the three and I wouldn't recommend them.

The tips that work for me, and I think a lot of people, are pretty comfortable once you get use to them, but that takes awhile. They used to hurt my ears, but now I don't notice them at all. But they sort of clean out yours ears! Once u take them out it's kind of embarrassing how much gunk gets on them. If monster releases new replacement tips, these earphones would be a lot better. The tangle free cord really works, I've only had to really un-knot them once or twice.

I think a lot of people don't like these earphones because they didn't play around with them. I know every body's ears are different, but if you can find the right fit these earphones are amazing. Don't be turned off by the celebrity endorsement!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wait for a price drop on these, March 29, 2009

By	Andrew H. Norton - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've owned several higher-end models of headphones in the past couple of years including Shure, Bose, and Mac-1's. I'd have to say that these are probably the worst value of the lot.

The sound these put out is very good at all levels, although with a name like "Beats" I would have thought a little more bass would be available. Even still, the sound quality is not quite up to the standards of similarly priced Shure headphones.

I've been having trouble finding earpieces that are a good fit for me with these headphones as well. With the Shure headphones you get foam inserts which I prefer above all others and although the Bose only come with three sizes of the same design, they are the most comfortable headphones I've worn to date. The Beats include the standard round soft flex earpieces and the multiple sized three-flange earpieces. I would have liked to have seen other options available when paying this much for headphones.

These headphones are stylish and the no-tangle cord is effective, but for comfort and sound quality, you can find better elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good sound... when they're in., June 19, 2009

By	Phil "Phil" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I owned them for six months, then they broke. the portion that you place the eartips on just sheered off. I'm glad they weren't in my ear when they broke.

the fitment is TERRIBLE. they will fall out of your ears. I tried all the buds to no avail.

however, the sound is excellent, the bass is quite rich. the red cord is pretty unique and sturdy.

I replaced these with the apple in-ear earphones. these had better bass than the apple's, but the apple has better highs.

if you're looking at these, make sure to take a look at the apple in-ear earphones as well, they're a better value and probably more sturdy.
