★ How Colorful

TechCrunch on the new Beats by Dre

The company has developed two new sets of headphones: the Beats Wireless on-ear Headphones and the Beats Studio HD Powered Isolation Headphones, which come in a number of color flavors

The last time I bought a set of fantastic headphones that come pre-loaded with audible-bliss, I expect there to be multiple color options.

Side-Note: I went to Best Buy last week and tried the Beats and Bose phones that start at $99 and top out at $399. I was sorely disappointed. Everyone LOVES these things or at least acts like they’re amazing (the entire headphone line) but beyond the great marketing and placement in hundreds of music videos, these are crap. I have a pair of Shure SRH840s They’re $140 on Amazon and I use them every day at my desk. These are the best non-open air headphone available. Open air phones are great but everyone around you can hear what you hear if you turn it up loud enough. These also don’t offer any noise canceling ability. They’re professional DJ monitors and they’re wonderful. Skip color choices and get some good monitors.

This Amazon Page has a TON of great headphones (note I put it at $200+) and any of these phones (organized by average customer review) is a great phone to put in your life. Just be very careful with Open-Air phones. You may buy one and not know it until you’re on a plane and piss off everyone around you with your Jay-Z
