MONSTER BEATS BY DR DRE COLOUR

I know you love them and you know I loathe them. Either way, it's a fact they're a popular choice of headphones and for the Holiday season, Monster Beats Studios will be available in six new pop colourways as part of their Colour Campaign. A smart introduction for an ever-growing product. Still hate it though.

MONSTER BEATS x FRAGMENT DESIGN

fragment's latest collaboration is with the ever-popular Monster Beats headphones by Dr. Dre. Featuring a white fragment logo on the side, Hiroshi Fujiwara has given the headphones some stripes, which I'm afraid just looks tacky. But then again, the headphones are tacky so I suppose it works. I do love the colourway though, a nice solid blue on grey, with the silver lining around the earpads adding some much needed sleekness. fragment design need to work on a pair of Bose I think, then we are properly talking sound and style.

MONSTER BEATS CHROME

Oh my.. Talk about impact.

Colorware have produced 50 units of this super limited edition set of Monster Beats. They use some next patented method of chroming up the product to give this scratch-proof metallic finish. Just can't really imagine having this around your neck on the streets though. At least not for long anyway!

And regarding the Beats itself, I've got a pair of Solo HDs but they're so so overrated and overpriced. I hear the original Beats are indeed better, but I had still expected them to be of top sound quality. Instead, the bass is so huge it doesn't sound like anything, and overall it just lacks any clarity. Also, I used to like its aesthetics but now I find it chunky and cheap. Waste of money really.

But this chrome is fucking ludicrous!
