Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)
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 URBEATS IN EAR BLUE
Expert review by (which.co.uk)
Beats by Dre is one of the most popular headphone brands on the market. There is a big emphasis on style - the Beats by Dre Urbeats are available in no less than eight different colours - buy how do they sound? Find out in our full review.

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.

Minimal Leakage. ; Stable and portable design.
Subpar audio reproduction. ; Mediocre build quality.

Before Beats and Apple announced that they were working on a merger, Beats released a line of earphones to perfectly match the iPhone 5S. The Urbeats SE was designed for people who wanted great sound to compliment the style of the 5S. The real question...

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.
