I went to visit family last week and spent some time on an airplane. I am usually very productive while flying as I put on my headphones and catch up on reading. While watching others on the flights, I saw many who just use the standard headphones that came with their device. I did see one passenger sporting the hottest headphones on the market right now, Beats by Dr. Dre. They come in several flavors and I’ll list a few of them.

The most popular model are the Beats Studio model shown at right. White headphones are pictured and you can also get them in black. These were created to try and match the sound heard in the recording studio as much as possible. That means more bass, less outside noise and a comfortable feel when wearing them. Admittedly the studio model isn’t cheap as it sells for around $299. For those who want a less-expensive model, take a look a the Beats Solo which can be found for under $175.

If you are looking for an in-ear model, the Beats Tour Mobile has you covered. They sell for around $169. And for those who want the very best, check out the Beats Pro which sell for around $350. No matter which model you choose, the sound quality will be a major upgrade over the headphones that come with a device. Headphones can also be useful for content creators who are working with sound or video. You can test your creations without driving others in your office crazy.
