Dr. Dre’s headphones put heat in the beat USA TODAY

Dr. Dre's headphones put heat in the beat

Dr. Dre's beats are some of the most potent in hip-hop. Now his Beats by Dr. Dre headphones will let fans hear what he hears.

Frustrated by listening to MP3s through mediocre ear buds, Dre spent two years working with Interscope Geffen A&M chairman Jimmy Iovine and audio accessory maker Monster Cable to develop sets that replicate what he hears in the studio.

"If people think they like their music on those little ear buds or computer speakers, they'll experience it on a whole different plane," Iovine says.

The $350 headphones offer detailed highs and deep bass while shutting out ambient noise. They go on sale Friday at Apple, Best Buy and beatsbydre.com. "They definitely get across what my music should sound like," Dre says.

The price won't scare off audiophiles and is comparable to the cost of premium headphones from Sony, Shure, Bose, Panasonic and JVC, says Richard Doherty of The Envisioneering Group, a technology assessment and market research company.

"They cater to consumers who want to hear every last essence of the music," he says. "The difference between $350 and $60 headphones is subtle."

The reclusive Dre has never endorsed products but was won over by the zeal for sound quality shared by Monster founder Noel Lee and son Kevin. "Dre said his lawyers wanted him to sell some Adidas," Iovine says. "I looked at him and said, 'Forget sneakers, let's sell speakers.' "

Kevin Lee says getting pristine sound and noise abatement in one set of headphones seemed impossible.

"Unlike with video, there is no benchmark reference for what absolute perfect sound is," Lee says. "That's where Dre comes in. We probably ran about 150 prototypes before we got it just right."

Iovine and Dre reviewed more than 20 designs before settling on the sleek black headphones' distinctive look.

"This is different from making perfume and having some rock star put her name on it," Iovine says. "We're pretty finicky guys. Those headphones (had to) sound better than every pair made."

Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Akon, Bono, The Edge, Pharrell Williams and Gwen Stefani tried them out and liked what they heard. Dre also got a thumbs-up from other producers.

"People in the studio took them home to listen to music they've been working on, and the sound was so different, they wanted to start over," Dre says.

Dr. Dre Creates Beats By Dr. Dre Headphones with Monster Cable

dr_dre_monsterwtmk.jpgDr. Dre, the Chronic King, is making his first foray into consumer electronics, releasing a pair of headphones with none other than Monster. The $400 headphones will indeed feature "rich deep bass—a Dr. Dre trademark." Here's what the Doctor himself has to say:

"When I'm making a track I'm trying to capture the sound that makes me go 'now THAT's the shit! And I want that reaction from everybody who hears it. I spend a lot of time in the studio listening to my music through headphones...with Beats, people are finally going to hear it the way they should: the way I do."

Monster Teams Up with Dr. Dre and Interscope Chairman Jimmy Iovine to Design State-of-the-Art "Beats" Headphones Engineered to Accurately Reproduce the Best of Today's Pop Music

Legendary Music Producer/Artist Dr. Dre's First-Ever Foray Into Consumer Products

Las Vegas, NV, January 6, 2008 - Monster, well known for working with legendary musicians on countless productions recorded with Monster Cable and Monster Power products, is proud to announce the introduction of the first-ever product to be endorsed by legendary music producer and artist Dr. Dre. The new "Beats by Dr. Dre" high-performance headphones were conceived by Dr. Dre and mutually designed, with groundbreaking and inventive engineering by Monster. The headphones feature both a unique and futuristic style as well as newly developed sonic technologies for unprecedented state-of-the-art performance.

When world-class producers like Dr. Dre record their music, they utilize large high-performance studio loudspeakers and high-powered amplifiers to craft richly detailed musical soundscapes. Until now, however, consumers listening back to the music using conventional headphones have never had the opportunity to experience the full sonic palette of these recordings, with the full dynamic range, low bass, punch and clarity intended by the producers. To provide consumers with a brand new level of headphone audio performance, Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine, Chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records, and Monster, three of the most powerful forces in music and technology, teamed up to create "Beats by Dr. Dre." Monster's innovative sound and design engineers implemented the team's vision.

Engineered to Meet the Demanding Sonic Requirements of Today's Music
In order to re-create the rich, full sonic experience of today's best recordings, "Beats" powered isolation headphones utilize technologies never before used in headphones, including a newly developed driver technology. The result is unequalled performance, with remarkably natural sound, incredible transient response and rich, deep bass - a Dr. Dre trademark. In development for two years, "Beats by Dr. Dre" are tuned personally by Dr. Dre and The Head Monster himself.

"When I'm making a track I'm trying to capture the sound that makes me go 'now THAT's the shit! And I want that reaction from everybody who hears it," said Dr. Dre. "I spend a lot of time in the studio listening to my music through headphones...with Beats, people are finally going to hear it the way they should: the way I do."

"Dre and I have been developing these headphones for a while and in Monster we found a partner that could work with us to crystallize his vision and develop them to the quality level he expects," said Jimmy Iovine, Chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records. "'Beats by Dr. Dre' is yet another example of Interscope's commitment to working together with its artists in developing new avenues to experience music."

Noel Lee, Head Monster, noted: "Dr. Dre is widely-known as the most critical ear in music today. This rare partnership with such an iconic artist is a testament to the both the need for high-performance headphones and the singular quality of 'Beats.' Listening to music with Beats headphones is a true 'ear opening' experience; users will enjoy not only their comfort and style, but their sonic performance that is unequalled in any other headphone."

Unique Design
"Beats by Dr. Dre" have a unique and avant-garde new look and that will revolutionize the headphone world. Everything about the sleek Beats headphones, from their glossy extra-wide headband and hip carrying case to the high-impact attention-getting packaging reflects impeccable style. The wide adjustable headband, hinged ear cups and high-quality Monster cable makes the Beats listening experience unmatched for comfort and function. A push-to-listen Mute button adds to the flexibility and convenience.

"Beats by Dr. Dre" headphones will come in a beautifully designed carrying case with anti-microbial cleaning cloths, a special Monster headphone cable, a mini-stereo to ¼-inch stereo cable adapter, as well as Monster's iSonitalk, a microphone/headphone adapter for iPhones. Beats will be available in spring 2008 for a suggested retail price of $399.
