Everyone wants top quality headphones to listen to their music, either on the go, work, or at home. Bose Quiet Comfort 15 and Dr. Dre Monster Beat headphones are two of top wireless headphones in today’s industry, but which one is better? One is made by one of the best sound companies and the other is made by the legendary producer and rapper, Dr. Dre, of the hip hop industry, who would surely know things about how one would want their music to sound like.

Sound Quality

In the previous series of the Bose Quiet Comfort wireless headphones the sound quality was not that great at all, but the Qc15 is major improvement, with microphones on the inside and the outside of the cup to tremendously improve the sound and it also prevents outside noises that would distort the sound. The Monster Beat headphones have great sound too but they do not have the technology of the QC15 to block out the outside distraction of other sounds.

Comfort

The Monster Beats are not really that comfortable nor are they that flexible or bendable as QC15, which basically means that they are easier to break. The QC15 have around the ear-fit- cups that adjust to anyone’s ear, making it easy to relax and just listen to your music or movie, they are foldable and come with a case so that you can protect your headphones, which causes you to worry less if you’re going to break them.

Price

Price is everyone’s major concern when it comes to buying the product even if the cheapest product is the one with the worse quality. I know that I have bought countless numbers of cheap headphones that only last me for a year or two. Both of these are both pricey pieces of equipment. The QC15 is about a hundred dollars cheaper than the MB, and they are well worth the price.

So the winner is… drum rolls… The “Bose Quiet Comfort 15″!

Dr Dre Beat

Experience music the way the artist wants you to. Beats high definition headphones are precision engineered to reveal the full sound of today’s digital music including the most sonically demanding rock, hip hop and R&B. With advanced speaker design, powered amplification, and active noise canceling, Beats delivers all the power, clarity, and deep bass today’s top artists and producers want you to hear.

High-Performance Headphones from One of the Biggest Names in Music

“People aren’t hearing all the music. Artists and producers work hard in the studio perfecting their sound. But people can’t really hear it with normal headphones. Most headphones can’t handle the bass, the detail, the dynamics. Bottom line, the music doesn’t move you. With Beats, people are going to hear what the artists hear, and listen to the music the way they should: the way I do.”- Dr. Dre

Stylish design and clean, deep bass, but overpriced
By J. Genson
I’ll start out by saying I collect mid-priced headphones(between $50 – $300). It may be an odd hobby, but it gives me a certain perspective that others may not have. I’m also an engineering major, and I found the general lack of objective, in-depth headphone reviews on Amazon to be disconcerting. So, here I am, taking a shot at reviewing some of the headphones I either own or have spent a lot of time listening to.

I’ve devised a simple six-song test and rating system, where 0 – 2 is abysmal, 2.1 – 4 is poor, 4.1 – 6 is mediocre, 6.1 – 8 is above average, and 8.1 – 10 is excellent.

The songs are very diverse; I was trying to represent a wide range of genres. They are “The Chain” by Fleetwood Mac(encoded in 256 kbps Ogg Vorbis), “Every Planet We’ve Reached is Dead” by Gorillaz(256 kbps .ogg), “Concerto Grosso #26 in D major” by Handel(256 kbps .ogg), “I Know You Are, But What Am I?” by Mogwai(500 kbps .ogg), “Afro Blue” by Triplexity(192 kbps .ogg), and “The Patient” by Tool(500 kbps .ogg).

I listened to everything on an iAudio 7 with the equalizer set to flat and all the sound effects turned off.

Sound Quality(6.8/10)

The Chain(6/10) – bass is nice and deep, slightly exaggerated, but still pleasant to listen to. Distortion is present, but very minimal. Mid tones and highs are somewhat underrepresented and bland, but otherwise sound decent. Instrument separation is a bit muddy. The main negative here is the sound stage, which is tiny.

Every Planet(8/10) – lows and highs both sound very smooth and rich in this song. Mid tones, as before, are underrepresented and bland. Instrument separation is good, but the sound stage is very underwhelming.

Concerto(6/10) – the bass in this song is deep and vibrant. Lows are nicely responsive. Mids and highs don’t have quite the balanced presence they should have. Instrument separation is fairly muddy. Once again, the sound stage is lacking.

I Know You Are(7/10) – bass, as expected, is nice and vivid. Distortion was too high near the beginning of the song, but gradually leveled off. Highs were nice and crisp, but mid tones were lacking. Instrument separation, as was the case with most other songs, is a bit muddy, and the sound stage, while not as bad in this song, is still mediocre.

Afro Blue(8/10) – the lows in this song were pleasantly punchy, and the highs were fairly crisp and smooth. Mid tones were muddy, however, as was the overall instrument separation(no surprises here). The sound stage is similar to what it was in “I Know You Are, But What Am I?”; it is more present than in most songs, but doesn’t have the fullness I would expect of circumaural headphones at this price.

The Patient(6/10) – right off the bat, the bass guitar in this song sounds great. Treble is decent, but underrepresented, as are the mid tones. The primary complaint I had in this song was actually not the sound stage(which isn’t emphasized anyway), but the instrument separation, which I felt was greatly lacking in precision.

Overall Sound(6.8/10) – the bass from these cans is overall clean and pleasant. Somewhat exaggerated, but not greatly so. Distortion, while present at times, is also in small amounts. These aren’t the subs-attached-to-your-head that some might expect before having listened to them. Treble sounds above average, but slightly underrepresented. The mid tones even more so – to the extent that they come across as bland. Instrument separation is also a bit muddy(although not too terrible). Another reviewer commented that these headphones were designed to sound slightly muddy, but I find this hard to believe, since the advertisement on Amazon claims “precise audio clarity”. But as I’ve mentioned time and again, the biggest drawback to these cans is the sound stage, which just wasn’t there. Overall, though, I would give these headphones an above average score in terms of sound quality.

Design(9/10)
These are a closed-air, cirumaural design, and a very attractive one at that. I like the styling very much. Lines on these phones are aggressive, but clean and elegant at the same time. They are also very comfortable. They’re lightweight and have plenty of padding. My only complaint here is the headband, which I felt was too rigid, and didn’t conform to my head as much as I’d have liked. I also like how mobile these are – they fold up, and come with a nice case to carry them around in. Great for traveling.

They are also built pretty well. I would rather see more aluminum at this price, but the plastic they’re composed of is nice and solid. They seem durable, and I doubt they would fall apart anytime soon.

Noise Isolation(7/10)
Noise isolation in these Monsters is accomplished via the closed circumaural design, which features plenty of thick padding, and active destruction of outside sound waves entering the headphone. I am a fan of the former; the latter, not so much. In my experience, active noise cancellation interferes with sound quality, not only because of the waves that must be emitted to interfere with incoming ambient noise, but also because an external headphone amplifier can’t really be used with noise-canceling headphones due to their built-in amplifier, which is typically not of premium quality. It’s difficult to judge on a case-by-case basis, because the built-in amp can’t be removed, but going by the sound produced by the Monster Beats, I don’t think they’re an exception to this rule.

All of that aside, the Monsters were definitely designed to be noise-canceling, so I won’t dock points for that. What I will take off points for is relative effectiveness, which I didn’t feel was where it should be, all things considered. They do block quite a lot of noise, but plenty of noise still bleeds through. I’ve heard noise-canceling headphones that are considerably more effective. Then again, I’ve also heard much worse, and these, in my opinion, are above average.

Bottom Line(6/10)
Monster Beats by Dr. Dre are a good, above-average sounding and noise-isolating pair of headphones that feature a comfortable, highly stylish, and mobile design. This doesn’t come close to justifying their high price, however. Sound quality should be significantly higher in this price range. But as always, different people perceive sound quality in different ways, and I highly encourage you to listen for yourself to a wide range of headphones before spending money. Those interested in good, deep bass at or under the price of the Monsters should also listen to various Beyerdynamic headphones, and the ATH-D40fs model by Audio Technica.

Excellent bass. Stylish. Great for travel. Surround sound/depth could be better.
By Kiyo M.
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3OTGQCWSLUD0C I have been really satisfied (and still using) with the Sennheiser HD-595 Premier Headphone (which cost about $300 at the time; the most expensive headphone I’ve ever spent). Sennheiser is known for making leading professional headphones/microphones/etc.

…And then there’s MONSTER.

As far as I’m aware, I’ve only known MONSTER for selling really really expensive overpriced cables for TV/home theater/audio input components. Well, Monster has teamed up with hip hop artist/actor/record producer, Dr. Dre (made Eminem famous) and created this “High-Definition” headphones, which they call BEATS.

I’ll be comparing the Monster Beats headphone with the Sennheiser HD-595, since it’s the most expensive headset that I own (till this one), and I’d be shocked to find something that sounds better than the HD-595 (that’s around the same price range or less).

I think it’s obvious most people will expect the bass to be the #1 priority with this headphone, considering it’s by MONSTER + Dr. Dre and called Beats. Well, it definitely doesn’t disappoint there. The Monster Beats definitely wins in terms of bass. (Of course, Dr. Dre’s genre relies heavily on it). If you listen to lots of rock/rap then you’ll love the bass on these. If you get headaches with bass or you just can’t stand it, then obviously, these aren’t really for you.

The Monster Beats headphones require two AAA batteries to listen. You cannot use the headphones if no batteries are inserted, or if you don’t have the switch to ON (located on the right side of the headphone). The batteries go inside the left compartment of the headphone. I’ve been listening with this headphone for the past two days and the batteries are still going. I’ll have to use it longer to fully test the battery life, but hopefully it’ll last several months because that would be really annoying if I have to keep replacing batteries. Since the headphone is powered by the battery, the sound is obviously amplified more, as well as the bass, than regular headphones. Whether you’re using this on your computer, portable device or iPod, you can have the volume at a low setting and it’ll still sound a lot louder than if you were to use a different headset at that volume setting.

For taking the headphones on-the-go and for traveling, the Monster Beats win again in terms of portability. The Monster Beats can be collapsed nicely and comes with a nice protective case to store it in; so you won’t be damaging that nice shiny glossy sleek look of the headphone. The Beats definitely has a more youthful look and the shiny piano black finish will definitely catch more attention; however, personally, I think the Sennheiser HD-595 has more of a professional look. The Sennheisher HD-595 has more of a soft earmuffs cushion and the cups are larger, whereas the Beats are leather and smaller. The headphone cable for the Beats is also shorter, so the length is suitable for portable devices; whereas the HD-595, the cord is insanely long and not really made for walking around with it (but you can always replace the cord).

Without taking off your Beats headphone, you can press and hold the center button (The beat logo) on the right side of the headphone and it’ll mute the sound until you release it again; this is convenient when someone needs to tell you something for a brief moment or you want to hear what’s going outside for just awhile. The Beats headphone are closed headphones, so just by putting the headphone, you’ll notice outside noise being reduced.

The vocals treble seem to be slightly higher than normal, but then again, it is also counter-balanced because again, the bass is stronger than what most headphones produce. The Monster Beats is great for hip hop/rap/rock music that use bass, of course, but what about others?

For overall music, despite the impressive bass on the Beats, I am still way more impressed with the sound of the HD-595. Compared to the HD-595, I feel the Beats lack more depth in surround sound. Granted, the Beats headphone are closed headphones, whereas the HD-595 are open for a more natural sound than some confined studio recording feel. When I’m listening to the same music with the HD-595, I feel like I’m actually there listening to a concert/theater and can really hear the separation of instruments/vocals/sound effects/etc.; it really feels like true surround sound. On the other hand, the Beats doesn’t quite have that feel. With the Beats, despite some surround sound, I still know I’m listening with headphones. Don’t get me wrong, the Beats doesn’t have poor surround sound, but once you experience other high-end headphones, you will notice the difference in depth/separate channels.

Pros:
+ Impressive Bass. Best for bass lovers.
+ Amplifies sound for portable mp3 players/iPod
+ Noise cancellation
+ Stylish/glossy finish design (great packaging/presentation)
+ Leather cushion/material feels high quality/comfortable
+ Headphones can collapse when you put it away
+ Nice solid case for storing the headphones
+ Quick mute button on the right side of the headphone (the Beat logo) by holding it.
+ Headphone cord only on the left side. (Also comes with iPhone, Blackberry, etc speaker black cord)

Cons:
- Could use more depth in surround sound. (compared to Sennheiser, there’s more surround sound with the HD-595, as you’ll be able to distinguish different instruments/beats as separate channels/different directions)
- Requires two AAA and you must turn on the headphone switch ON. Forgetting to turn the switch off can waste the battery. Headphones will NOT run without batteries.
- Too expensive. (like any other Monster Products)

Overall, if you absolutely love bass and listen to mostly hip-hop/rap/rock; noise-canceling; made for traveling; then these headphones are for you. However, if you want overall balanced sound, greater depth/surround sound concert/theater feel, then I highly recommend the Sennheiser HD-595 (not to mention, it’s about half the price cheaper now than what I paid for it).

Too Expensive An Investment For Such Poor Manufacturing Quality
By Giovanni Bolivar
I wish I could give these cans a glowing review but after being burned twice due to poor manufacturing quality I must now warn consumers against making a $300 investment in these.

The first pair I bought was a year ago and I LOVED them from the first note I heard. I had never owned a pair of high end headphones so this was quite an upgrade for me. I was having a blast hearing my music library in a totally different way. This all changed about 2-3 months in as the screws which secure the earphones to the headbands started to get loose. With no way of securing them (you can’t screw them back in) they eventually started to fall out. Little by little the headphones began to fall apart until they were no longer usable. I called Monster support up and they agreed to send me a new pair as long as I sent the broken pair to them (at my cost). Awesome! Well not so much…

About 3-4 months later I took off the headphones after using them and noticed the headband had a crack right in the middle of it! Not only were my headphones no longer stylish but they were no longer stable. I tried to work through the problem until one day I went to put them on after having them around my neck only to find that the left ear cushion was missing! More than a handful of times I have had an ear cushion fall off and I’d have to snap them back in but losing them makes the headphones completely useless, both for comfort and sound reasons.

I called Monster back and they told me they could not replace them again for free but I take advantage of their out of warranty program and get a new pair for $150. Gee let me think…I already coughed up $300 on these – should I put another $150 into this product that has already failed me twice? Of course the answer was no. While the cans are nice when they work I just couldn’t put more money into something that I knew would break. Additionally, it was a hassle having to replace the batteries every few weeks (or have them run out of juice on you in the middle of the day while outside).

Therefore, I would have to recommend consumers shopping for headphones look elsewhere. In the meantime I will be looking for reliable/well crafted replacement.

PS The cord would always wear away at the ends, too.

The Nokia 701 represents a generation shift for Symbian. Symbian Belle is a bold step forward for Nokia and the 701 will be the first phone to introduce the new Symbian to the world.

Nokia 701 specifications

The body of the Nokia 701 was made based on the C7, measures 117.2*56.8*11 mm and weighs 131 grams. The front of the device holds the 3.5″ IPS LCD based ClearBlack display with nHD resolution and Gorilla Glass protection. The blacks are not as good as the AMOLED but it has 1000 nits of brightness make up for that. Also the IPS technology promises 160 degrees of views. Actually it’s one of the brightest displays yet. Under the display we find the Call, Menu and End Call hardware keys while above we find the earpiece, a secondary VGA camera and the sensors.

On the left side we only find the charger plug while the right side holds the dedicated camera key,lock slide, volume rocker and voice command. On top we find power key,microUSB port and the 3.5mm standard audio jack while the bottom only holds the lanyard eyelet. The back of the display holds the 8MPx camera with dual LED flash and the loudspeaker.

Remove the battery cover and you see a 1300mAh which gives the Nokia 701 impressive battery times: 17 hours of talk time(7 in 3G), 23 days of stand by time,3 days of music playback, 9 hours of video playback, over 6 hours of video recording, 3 hours of video calling and 11 hours of navigation(courtesy of Nokia Maps).Under the battery you find the microSD card slot while the SIM card can be accessed without removing the battery.

The Nokia 701 will be powered by a 1GHz CPU with 512 MB of RAM and will run Symbian Belle. It will aslo feature NFC technology. Since the power is a lot more than Symbian is used to the Nokia 701 is very fast and responsive. The Symbian Belle brings a new homescreen and menu, updated apps and a new polished interface. It also brings 6 homescreens with individual wallpapers that you can add or delete. Widgets can be re-sized and you can even put shortcuts on the homescreen.

Another big change is the addition of a pull down menu similar to Android’s notification area. This is where you will find all the notifications and toggles for mobile data,Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and silent mode. The Menu has also been changed and it gets better functionality and it’s more easy to use, though it’s not as convenient as other OS menus. The task manager remains the same.

Nokia 701 has an 8MPx camera with fixed focus and dual LED flash. It has a new interface but the changes are mostly cosmetic. It offers a lot of scenes, Flash modes and other options like face detection, self timer, settings(ISO, white balance and others) and geotagging. Picture quality is good though images tend to be over-sharpened. Detail amount is plenty and even low light pictures look good. Video recording is done at 720p @ 30fpswith stereo sound. Quality is also great.

The browser has a new interface and improved usability but nothing groundbreaking. It also has text reflow support,flash support and Kinetic scroll. Over all the browser experience is good, zooming is fluid and there are no page breaks. Also Nokia claims that the browser on Symbian Belle is three times faster than the one on Anna.

In terms of connectivity Nokia 701 offers it all: quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support and five-band 3G support with HSPA (14.4Mbps download and 5.76Mbps upload), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, USB with On-The-Go support, FM Transmitter, NFC and audio jack that can be used as a TV-out.

Despite the fact that the Nokia 701 isn’t very impressive in terms of hardware(except for the screen which is really impressive) it has more than enough features for the Symbian Belle to run very smooth and fast. It might not be a flagship but it leads the way of the new generation of Symbian devices.

DOES preserve stereo separation.
By JV
So to recap:
Dirt cheap
Flexible
extremely easy to use
Diminishes volume? Not too badly.
DOES preserve stereo separation! I’m mixing a song right now through these splitters and while panning back and forth, my headphones respond as if the splitter weren’t in at all. It doesn’t turn stereo to mono despite what that one guy said. And yes, I’ve got two pairs of headphones plugged in.

I discovered that if both sets of headphones plugged into the splitter aren’t firmly plugged in, it will do the stereo to mono thing, but if you click them in properly, you’re fine.

Recommended. Does the job. Flexible
By Michael Yang
does the job and no complaints. These type of splitters are ideal because you don’t have to worry about it breaking from bending. I purchased a splitter before that wasn’t wired, just a solid unit, and it broke from bending too much.

Cheap and cheerful, but caution the volume drop
By Torley
As other reviewers have noted (and I’ve taken this into account for purchasing), the volume drops across both outputs since the signal is split — not a big concern for me, but on some setups this may result in an unhappy amount of line noise when you have to crank source volumes to compensate.

I use this because I have a stereo deck (with high-quality Sony MDR-V900s attached) and a Plantronics headset I use for recording video tutorials and such on my computer. I didn’t want to actively have to toggle back-and-forth, since that’d impede my workflow: my use case is swapping between headsets quickly, and this Belkin splitter is a tidy little solution!

I think we should get ourselves some honey bee facts, after all so many healing and health-promoting opportunities for the humans begin with this little busy creature. As you read the following 20 statements about honey’s great creator, you will be so intrigued just like me by this teensy-weensy fellow’s extraordinary abilities.

1. The honey bee has been around for 30 million years.

2. It is the only insect that produces food eaten by man.

3. Honey bees are environmentally friendly and are vital as pollinators.

4. They are insects with a scientific name – Apis mellifera.

5. They have 6 legs, 2 eyes, and 2 wings, a nectar pouch, and a stomach.

6. The honeybee’s wings stroke 11,400 times per minute, thus making their distinctive buzz.

7. A honey bee can fly for up to six miles, and as fast as 15 miles per hour, hence it would have to fly around 90,000 miles – three times around the globe – to make one pound of honey.

8. The average honey bee will actually make only one twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.

9. It takes about 556 workers to gather 1 pound of honey from about 2 million flowers.

10. It takes one ounce of honey to fuel a bee’s flight around the world.

11. A honey bee visits 50 to 100 flowers during a collection trip.

12. A colony of bees consists of 20,000-60,000 honeybees and one queen.

13. Worker honey bees are female, live 6 to 8 weeks and do all the work.

14. The queen bee lives for about 2-3 years and is the only bee that lays eggs. She is the busiest in the summer months, when the hive needs to be at its maximum strength, and lays up to 2500 eggs per day.

15. The male honey bees are called drones, and they do no work at all, have no stinger, all they do is mating.

16. Each honey bee colony has a unique odour for members’ identification.

17. Only worker bees sting, and only if they feel threatened and they die once they sting. Queens have a stinger, but don’t leave the hive to help defend it.

18. It is estimated that 1100 honey bee stings are required to be fatal.

19. Honey bees communicate with one another by “dancing”.

20. During winter, honey bees feed on the honey they collected during the warmer months. They form a tight cluster in their hive to keep the queen and themselves warm.

My most memorable honey bee fact is No 19: Honey bees communicate with one another by “dancing”. And the most incredible to me is No 2: It is the only insect that produces edible food for man!

Angels are protectors, messengers, healers and destroyers. They figure most prominently in the world’s three major monotheistic religions: Christianity, Judaism and Islam, though angels have been a part of many if not most religions throughout history. The ancient Greeks believed in unseen spirits known as daemons that often watched over mortals. The god Hermes was most similar to the modern interpretation of angels in that he was messenger to the gods, guided travelers on perilous journeys and even had wings, albeit on his ankles. Devas, in Hinduism, are supernatural beings that represent the forces of nature as well as moral values and serve Brahman, the creator of the universe. Like the devas in Hinduism, the devas in Buddhism are supernatural beings, however they do not represent abstract concepts so much as possess superior abilities to mortals. They are more powerful, more enlightened and live longer than human beings. And like angels in the Judeo-Christian pantheon, the Buddhist devas are organized into a hierarchy.

There are three particular classes of devas, identifiable by the realms of the universe in which they exist. The devas of the rkpyadh’tu or formless realm indeed are formless and meditate on formless ideas. The devas of the Rkpadh’tu or form realm, while having physical forms do not have genders nor do they have passions or desires. The third realm is the Kmadhtu and the devas there are most like humans in that they have passions both sensual and intellectual. And like humans, they are sometimes overcome by these passions. Each realm is further divided into different worlds and heavens, similar to the Christianity hierarchy, as defined by Pseudo-Dionysius in the fifth century, has nine choirs of angels divided into three spheres, each sphere divided into three classes of angels.

The angels of the third sphere–the Principalities, Archangels and Angels–are the messengers and soldiers of heaven. The second sphere– Dominions, Virtues and Powers–are the governors. The first sphere–Seraphim, Cherubim and the Thrones– are closest to God and thus are supposed to be perfect. However, in the Christian tradition, Lucifer is seen as a fallen seraph angel. His rebellion against God precipitated his fall from heaven and he became the ruler of the underworld. Angels of the third sphere have the most contact with humans, as they are assigned to each human at birth to assist them throughout their mortal lives, but this proximity to humans makes them most susceptible to sin. In Islam, angels, or Malaaikah, are incapable of sin because they do not have free will. Therefore Satan is regarded as a jinn, a spirit with free will, because he turns his back on Allah.

The archangels carry messages between God and humans. The number of archangels varies, though only four are specifically named in the Old Testament, Gabriel, Michael, Raphael and Uriel. Together they represent the cardinal directions-Gabriel is the North, Michael is the East, Raphael the West and Uriel the South. Along with the other archangels, they also govern the months, astrological signs, planets and days of the week: Figure 1.1* Angel Month Astrological Sign Gabriel January Aquarius Barchiel February Pisces Machidiel March Aries Asmodel April Taurus Ambriel May Gemini Muriel June Cancer Verchiel July Leo Hamaliel August Virgo Uriel September Libra Barbiel October Scorpio Adnachiel November Sagittarius Hanael December Capricorn Figure 1.2* Angel Planet Day Raphael Sun Sunday Gabriel Moon Monday Sammael Mars Tuesday Michael Mercury Wednesday Zidkiel (Aniel) Venus Thursday Hanael (Kafziel) Saturn Friday Kepharel (Zadkeil) Jupiter Saturday Angels are many things to many people, and have been throughout history. Whether sounding trumpets to bring down the walls of Jericho, accompanying Mohammed on his ascension to Heaven, or symbolizing the elements of the universe, angels are fascinating creatures that transcend religion and definition.
