Beats Executive Pro Reviews

I liked the Beats Executive headphones. Overall, they're well-designed, fit comfortably, and have a sturdy feel and slick look. I also thought they sounded good for a noise-canceling model. If someone were to give them to me as a gift, I'd definitely use them. However, if I had $300 to spend on a pair of noise-canceling headphones, I'd probably lean toward the Bose QC15s. You also have the Monster Inspiration headphones at this price point -- I like the Inspirations' sound slightly better but the Beats Executives are slightly more comfortable and fold flat -- as well as the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC9 headphones, which are also very good, but arguably not quite as good as the Bose QC15s. In the end, the Beats Executive model is definitely worth a look if swanky noise-canceling headphones are what you're after. But you should ideally try them alongside a pair of Bose QuietComfort 15s before you buy them.

The Beats by Dr. Dre Executive headphones deliver decent noise cancellation and powerful low-end thump, but there is serious competition to consider in this price range.
