Beats Pro by Dr. Dre
Cnet rating: 4 stars out of 5 (excellent)
The good: Quality construction; dual input/output audio ports for communal listening; thumping bass; ear cushions can be removed and replaced.
The bad: May not be comfortable for everyone; weight is a little on the heavy side; some songs can sound harsh; travel case doesn’t match the professional packaging of its predecessors.
