Wireless headphones can look strange, but Dr. Dre's “Beats” brand is here to show that cordless doesn't necessarily have to mean clunky. Now, the real question is are they worth your money…Headphones are more than just something to listen to your music wi...

Dr. Dre's option to making your ears sing the praises of music without wires does result in a pair of cans with decent sound, but it's lacking in usability and common sense as far as design and engineering go.Headphones shouldn't need power to work. That'...

When you think of headphones these days, you probably immediately think of the monster brand that is Beats by Dre, the premium street-style cans that are worn by style icons and celebrities alike. We've got the latest top-end Studio Wireless headphones...
Strapping on a pair of Beats headphones is nothing short of a fashion statement these days, but there's no question that these are an attractive pair of cans even if you're not a fan of the brand. Not only do they look good, but they're also comfortable too: the cups are padded with soft leather that cover your ears gently, and they also shield out external noise, letting you concentrate on your...
There's not too much to fault the Beats Studio Wireless on, as it performs its job very well and it looks good doing it too - but there is an according extortionate price tag. For £329.95, it borders on audiophile territory, but it doesn't bring in the same quality that many keen listeners will be looking for. On top of that, when there's no music playing, there can be an annoying hiss at times...
Beats by Dre headphones are expensive, and the latest Studio Wireless is no exception: even though they sound great (although bass-heavy) you're ultimately paying far too much for just the name and the styling. Its wireless Bluetooth and noise-cancelli...
