Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)

Beats urBeats review

All about the bass, and nothing else, for these one-track-minded headphones...

Deep bass ; Forward presentation ; Well constructed

Lack detail ; Narrow dynamic range ; Time poorly ; Balance is too bass-heavy

If you care only for low end, your £80 is safe here; otherwise, we’d be happier spending half that price for a better-rounded pair of in-ears

Beats by Dr. Dre urBeats

The Beats by Dr. Dre urBeat delivers the typical Beats bass-heavy sound, distortion-free and at a reasonable price.

Powerful audio performance with deep bass. No distortion at top volumes. In-line microphone and remote for phone calls, playback control. Solid, alluring design.

Highly sculpted frequency response isn't for everyone. Getting a consistent fit can be difficult. Ear tips can be uncomfortable over long listening sessions.

The Beats urBeats are simple and straightforward in-ear headphones. They don't leak much, they're easy to carry around and stable enough to use while jogging. Unfortunately, they don't have the most durable design and their sound quality is overly...

Minimal Leakage. ; Stable and portable design.

Subpar audio reproduction. ; Mediocre build quality.

Beats urBeats Review

Tight, deep bass ; Clear overall sound ; Tangle-free, durable cabling

Difficult to get a proper seal ; Uncomfortable for longer listening sessions ; Bass sometimes overwhelms the rest of the music

Dr. Dre urBeats is a good set of in-ear headphones for the bass-loving set, offering durability and tangle-resistant cables for a reasonable price.

The Urbeats are a strong bet.

If you haven't noticed the literal ocean of people every which way wearing Beats by Dr. Dre, then maybe you should have your eyeballs checked (or maybe you don't review electronics for a living).
