New Beats by Dr Dre Executive headphones: Classy with premium look and sound

Do you see the appeal of the Beats By Dr Dre Studio headphones, but wish you could swap the glossy bright colours for some classier design and materials? Well there’s a new set of Beats in town for you to cast your eye over.

Beats Executive is the name of the new over-ear cans from the company, and the name gives you a big clue as to the design and feel of the product. Gone are the glossy colourful plastics used on the Studio ‘phones, with leather and metal taking its place.

The ear cans themselves are finished in a silver brushed metal, coupled with a leather section in the center and a very classy looking brushed ‘b’ Beats logo to top it off.

The headband looks totally different too, with padded leather the choice for this new design, which will ensure these cans sit comfortably on top of your noggin.

The ear cups twist and fold to ensure maximum comfort and portability, and as such you can twist and fold the headphones away for easy storage in a jiffy.

Tech-wise, the Executives use battery power to provide tip-top noise cancellation, ensuring it’s really just you and the music. This tech works the other way around, too, so everybody on your bus doesn’t have to listen to your undoubtedly incredible taste in music.

Of course, the superior audio quality that many have come to love from the Beats by Dr Dre brand is there too. Beats boast that these premium cans let you hear music “exactly the way the artist intended”.

No doubt by now you’re eager to get your hands on a pair of these beauties. Unfortunately they’re not on sale just yet, though you can reserve yours from the Monster webstore for the tidy price tage of $399.
