Beats By Dre Buying Guide

By Cecilie Blaber


Beats by Dre are headphones designs for individuals who enjoy rap and hip hop with extra base and louder music. These devices reduce distortion and improve the accuracy of the highs and mids with these DJ headphones than available with lower end headphones. Since Beats by Dr Dre provide additional thumping base, vocals are sometimes weak and overshadowed.

Owners of these pricey over-ear or in-ear stereo headphones, are often proud to show off the devices. Others may not agree, but that is simply because they do not have the style or money. The definitely do not own Dr Dre Studio Headphones. In order to avoid wasting $250 or more, consider the following on how to determine if the product is a fake or the genuine item at a great price.

Batteries are Duracell Brand and Wrapped

Chinese customs will not allow sellers to ship Duracell batteries. However, these batteries can be placed in fake packages of wireless headphones once they arrive in the States. Be sure the set you choose has Duracells that are 100% wrapped. Only buy Dr Dre headphones form reliable online retailers if shopping on the net.

Differences in Packaging



The face on the package is difficult to duplicate exactly and print with the correct contrast. Look for the package with the bright image. Most counterfeiters do not have access to high end printers so they cannot print the image like the real thing.

Some of the Real Headphones have Darker Dr Dre Faces

This was created to let the people know that NOT ALL dark faces are fake. 90% of fakes have dark faces, some have really bright faces. The more accurate way to spot fakes aside from checking the faces would have to be the warranty code inside the battery cover of the headphones. Call Monster to verify your code if it's really authentic.

Spot Some Subtle Mistakes On The Front Cover



The left one is the real one while the right is a fake.

Differences Identifying the fake:

* Real box has printed in white "by dr. Dre", the Monster logo and words under studio. In the fake, the printing is in gray.

*TM Logo below "by dr. dre" and right side of "studio" is missing in the fake one.

* Metal plate with B logo is far too shiny in the fake.

* Fake has too much contrast between blacks and whites.

* The authentic box offers a more natural lighting effect.

Additional Red Flags for Fake

The touring case of the fake is not plastic wrapped. The touring case is the black case in which the headphones are enclosed. With the authentic case, the plastic wrap is included to prevent scratches in shipping. The zip lock pouch that contains the airplane adapter should not have a red line.

BEWARE: EBAY sellers are using original photos of Dr. Dre Studio boxes from Monstercable while selling fakes. It was announced by Monstercable that the old pictures found on their sites have no TM, and have a darker Dr Dre face not showing the neck. Be careful of sellers telling you they are selling genuine Dr. Dre Studios on eBay. Never buy from a stock photo unless they have good feedbacks.
