I"ve had a few folks ask me about using Dr. Dre BEATS headphones for mixing/recording. I was taken aback by this as I thought everyone knew that they some of the worst cans on the market. It's a pure marketing scam to sell something pretty with DRE in it. The headphones are mostly glued together instead of using screws and are so light, they actually add little metal parts just to add some weight.
The worst part if the off the shelf drivers (little speakers that make the sound) they use. They are not high end drivers. Sadly, they are crap. So if you feel tempted to use these to mix/record, don't  You might as well use earbuds. But then again, I have had folks ask me about ear buds too now that I think about it I get that money doesn't grow on trees and you gotta use what you have until you can get better. If at all possible save up for good phones asap There are several threads here detailing which ones are good Here is a thread I started a while ago just to discuss the issue. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=50647Here is an article about beats that details the lameness. http://gizmodo.com/how-beats-tricks-you-in...dium=socialflow

One of my favorite overheard lines from a sales guy at the T-Mobile store ... "These are the headphones (Beats) that recording artists use when they're in the studio". I almost interrupted.
