Users pay special attention to the originality of the device when buying, because there are a lot of replicas and fakes, which differ significantly - disgusting sound quality.
Elegant design
Beats PRO at first sight captivates with its noble lines. They are made entirely of metal, there are no plastic elements. The headband is protected by a soft tab, at first glance - made of genuine leather.
Not much is said about the material in the official sources, but the owners of the headphones claim that both the headband and the ear cushions of the original devices are highly durable and wearable. Even the logo on the outer part of the headband does not rub off over time.
The headband connects to the cups with aluminum ear pads. There are retractable plates with hidden wire. The cup slides with force, and at the same time is perfectly fixed in one place. Over the years, the metal does not fade, retains its properties, which allows you to adjust the headphones as many times as you want.
On the outside of the mounts on the left and right is embossed logo "PRO". Knowledgeable people claim that this indicates that the device belongs to the original. So does the R and L engraving, which should be mechanically applied, not by paint.
The cups are rotary. They rotate around their axis, which allows you to give them any convenient position, for example, putting them on the chest. The headband is foldable, the device folds quite compactly, in the folded state it fits well in a purse.
The ear cushions are round, made of thick eco leather (or leather?). They do not shag and do not fray for a long time. The seams are of good quality, not coming apart. There are very rare comments that the coating of the ear cushions is shaggy, but leave such comments owners of cheap headphones. At the bottom of each cup has an input for the cable.
The package
The rich package and beautiful packaging make the Beats PRO a great gift. The box is tight, the inner unit is traditionally on magnetic locks.
Inside:
- documents and brochures, taped together;
- bag with cover;
- cloth for wiping the device;
- standard Jack Jack cable with an "L"-shaped input with a control unit to connect to a smartphone;
- Another Jack Jack cord with a twisted section to prevent twisting, which also has an adapter from a 3.5 mm plug to a 6.5 mm plug to connect to professional music equipment;
- The headphones themselves in a folded form.
It is worth paying attention to the fabric case. It is tightened on the ties that prevents the headphones from falling out. Outwardly the case, as noted by users, similar to the hat. That, however, does not detract from its merits - the headphones do not scratch in it, they can be placed in any convenient way, even if not folded.
Ergonomics of the headband and ear cushions
Since the device is almost entirely made of metal, it is very heavy - almost 500 grams. It feels strongly on the neck, some musicians joke that working with Beats PRO not bad for the deltoid muscles.
In fact, the considerable weight of the device is compensated by the ergonomic fit. The padding does not press on the headband, the level of the cups can be adjusted with one hand.
Although the ear cushions are round, they cover the ears well. But still a third of the owners note that the earlobe is squeezed by the headphones, the ears hurt. The solution to this problem is periodic rest, if you take the headphones off and rest for 10-15 minutes, the fatigue disappears.
Features of usage
The manufacturer has several options for using the headphones. They differ in the type of wire connected and the available functionality. Owners of iOS smartphones have the most options. For them, there is an option to connect via a cable with a microphone that is built into the remote.
The available functions are:
- switching the volume level by pressing on the top and bottom of the remote;
- long pressing on the sides - switching tracks;
- pausing and starting music;
- rewind by pressing the middle button;
- answer/reject a call/end a call by pressing in the middle;
- repeat the last dialed number.
With Android, the headphones can also be used as a headset. But here the functionality is significantly reduced.
The sides do not work at all and is controlled only by the middle button:
- start music playback, pause;
- Answering a call / ending an ongoing call;
- Calling the last number dialed.
The second cable without microphone. With its help the headphones can be connected to any device to play music, so you can not only listen to the tracks, but also a quality processing of melodies, control playback and adjust the music.
Sound quality
The work of the speakers, this is the main thing that attracts users in these headphones. The sound is unparalleled! It is crystal clear, detailed, sophisticated audiophile in headphones can hear several hundred shades of bass.
Musically educated people can easily distinguish the instruments involved in the orchestra, determine their number and even sense the inputs and fading of additional musical tones.
Reviews of the performance of the speakers in the original device are only positive:
- "Great sound, frequencies are well heard. Thanks to the narrow stage the vocals are pronounced. The sound is lively, bright, voluminous. Ideal for work in the studio or on the DJ desk. Normal sound isolation is on point, those around you can't hear what the owner of the headphones is listening to."
- "Qualitatively lay out the most complex combination of sounds to the most subtle nuances. Classic, rock, metal, hip-hop - everything sounds bright and beautiful. It's good that the speakers are not narrowly focused, you can use them to listen to any type of music."
- "Modern songs in general sound divine. Clear highs and mids, bass is well-drawn from the beginning, no need to bother with EQ. The sound is as close to studio sound as possible.
- "I use the headphones for monitoring and working with serious equipment. The composition is great, there is a bias in the bass, but it is organically balanced. All frequencies sound clear, there is no distortion or croaking.
Probably only Quiet Comfort can compete with these headphones in sound quality. And that is only because they emphasize active noise isolation, which makes listening more comfortable.
The 5 best Logitech headphones
It should be noted that about the performance of the headphone microphone in the reviews write very little, because the device is positioned as a professional and is fully designed for listening to music. But the microphone is not inferior speakers, it is located in the remote, so you can talk on the phone with comfort, slightly raising the unit to his face. Hear through it well, the speech is not confused, extraneous sounds do not strongly interfere with the voice.
