Truth be told, when we heard that the Powerbeats headphones were endorsed by rapper Dr. Dre, we didn’t actually think these would be athletes exactly. The good doctor may be many things but the model of fitness isn’t something that immediately comes to mind. And when we found out that the headphones were part of the Monster line we knew they’d sound good, but we weren’t convinced that these were for the fitness crowd.
But Lebron James and other athletes do swear by these. The headphones promise a full range of sound with “clarity and power,” which is what we’d expect from Monster. But then a look at these convinced us these headphones are ready for the game. These feature a flexible earhook to keep the headphones in place, while they’re also sweat resistance as well as UV protected. This means they can get down and dirty and keep performing.
The phones can also be used with a phone, as a Monster ControlTalk cable is also provided. Thus you can play hard, and trash talk on the way home.
