Doctor's orders
Audio cable giant Monster has teamed up with one of its biggest fans, Dr. Dre, to release its first-ever headphones. The results? Deafening. Beats by Dre, hitting shelves this July, pump enough bass to rattle your bones and are sufficiently stylish to wear out of the studio—thanks to a red-and-black design by Robert Bruner, formerly of Apple. They come with a handy earpiece mute button for when you want to hear the outside world and a noise-canceling system for when you don't. What they don't come with is a copy of Dre's long-awaited Detox, but it's nice to know that when the album finally arrives, you'll have your listening system in order.
$350, available mid-July

Hopefully this isn't more Monster snake oil. Plus, the endorsement of some rapper is enough for me to steer clear. If you're going to burn $300 on a pair of headphones, why not go for the Grado SR325's?

anyone calling Dr. Dre "some rapper" clearly doesn't know anything about bass in a headphone

Wow, some rapper? More like some Producer. Dre is one of the best producers of our time. Producer's would know good headphones better then anyone in the field of music, considering they need them for sound adjustments and, well... producing.
