Press Release From Dr. Dre/Monster Press Conference

[Styles1]

Many of you were wondering what Sunday's Dr. Dre/Monster Press Conference was about. Well, here it is:

To re-create the rich, full sonic experience of today's best recordings, "Beats" powered isolation headphones utilize technologies never before used in headphones, including a newly developed driver technology. The result is unequalled performance, with remarkably natural sound, incredible transient response and rich, deep bass - a Dr. Dre trademark. In development for two years, "Beats by Dr. Dre" are tuned personally by Dr. Dre and The Head Monster himself.

"When I'm making a track I'm trying to capture the sound that makes me go 'now THAT's the shit! And I want that reaction from everybody who hears it," said Dr. Dre. "I spend a lot of time in the studio listening to my music through headphones...with Beats, people are finally going to hear it the way they should: the way I do."

"Dre and I have been developing these headphones for a while and in Monster we found a partner that could work with us to crystallize his vision and develop them to the quality level he expects," said Jimmy Iovine, Chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records. "'Beats by Dr. Dre' is yet another example of Interscope's commitment to working together with its artists in developing new avenues to experience music."

Noel Lee, Head Monster, noted: "Dr. Dre is widely-known as the most critical ear in music today. This rare partnership with such an iconic artist is a testament to the both the need for high-performance headphones and the singular quality of 'Beats.' Listening to music with Beats headphones is a true 'ear opening' experience; users will enjoy not only their comfort and style, but their sonic performance that is unequalled in any other headphone."

"Beats by Dr. Dre" have a unique and avant-garde new look and that will revolutionize the headphone world. Everything about the sleek Beats headphones, from their glossy extra-wide headband and hip carrying case to the high-impact attention-getting packaging reflects impeccable style. The wide adjustable headband, hinged ear cups and high-quality Monster cable makes the Beats listening experience unmatched for comfort and function. A push-to-listen Mute button adds to the flexibility and convenience.

"Beats by Dr. Dre" headphones will come in a beautifully designed carrying case with anti-microbial cleaning cloths, a special Monster headphone cable, a mini-stereo to 1/4-inch stereo cable adapter, as well as Monster's iSonitalk, a microphone/headphone adapter for iPhones. Beats will be available in spring 2008 for a suggested retail price of $399.95.

I had respect for Dre .. dude isn't an attention whore, isn't in the news talking shit and all that .. as of now I don't like how he makes his fans believe that Detox is coming by doing an interview in LA Times . make a couple of apperance for the MTV awards and now this . I mean , if you had even little respect for you fans, just be honest and end this whole comedy which has lasted for 6 years

400 bucks? Looks more like a product aimed for rich studio producers/music artists...

The bass in them headphones must really groove though.

[Mackin]

..Well those earphones though pricey,are not new!!
Not sure if you guys have ever heard of those 'in-ear-phones'
The ones that block out outside noise,and all you hear is the music.
Well a friend of mine bought one of 'em for 300 Pounds

Yeah I think these are studio monitor headphones,

listen to music on some studio equipment, it will make shitty drums sound weak and dope beats sound hard as fuck. It basicly tells you the truth about how your shit is really sounding.

headphones can make a huge difference to how you hear the music. Some just dont pick up all the sounds and elements in the track.

[CRAFTY]

Should be worth the money...But I wish Dre would concentrate on putting out Detox instead of inking merchandise deals.
