Better than Beats (Audio)

You've heard about Beats by Dr. Dre, and Bose headphones, and maybe you think they're pretty good. Well those famous brands had better watch their backs, according to Consumer Reports Magazine, because headphones by Grado Labs out of Brooklyn NY are better than both of them.

Named the top-rated headphone model, the $300 Grado 325 was deemed superior to any of the models made by Beats or Bose. At any price. In June, Grado released an update to the model, called the 325e, which delivers even more bang for your buck.

These are headphones for serious listening, not for commuting.
The 325e model is said to have "Less bling, more zing", a comment Consumer Reports found to be right on target. Like our Portable Bluetooth Speaker.

"I don't especially care what my headphones look like" the reviewer says. "I can't see them while I'm wearing them, and I'm not counting on headphones to enhance my admittedly low social status. But I do want them to sound good, and in this area the 325 headphones excel, providing excellent overall sound, with a neutral to cool character".


There's plenty more technical information on the Grado Labs website.
