GaGa gave me heartbeats...,

This review is from: Lady Gaga Heartbeats In-Ear Headphones (Bright Chrome) (Electronics)
Usually, I am not one for artist-endorsed products, but the GaGa Monster Heartbeats in-ear headphones looked so fab from pictures that I decided to check them out in real. For starters, the box looked really stylish and the headphones are placed in yet another black box which is magnetically latched. Once opened, you will see the bright chrome and white cables with the matching protective pouch. Once taken out, the headphones feel sturdy and the cables are truly tangle-free and every bit the trademark of Monster cables.
Now, beauty aside. The sound is amazing and it should be for it costs almost US$170 here than in the US. Once I picked the ear buds of the correct size, everything else is secondary. I connected the earphones to my iPhone and there was so much clarity and bass pumping from them at even 3/4 of the volume slider. I could hear almost all the background instrumentation and effects. More importantly, all surrounding ambient noise is cut off almost entirely...Read more

So I just got my Bright Chrome Heartbeats yesterday. I originally wanted the Dr. Dre Beats headphones when they first came out but they were out of my price range. Being a fan of Lady Gaga and liking to look fashionable while listening to music I had to get these. Plus the price was in my budget! I must say I'm quite impressed. They come very nicely packaged with a fashionable looking case to keep them protected. The look of the headphones are very nice and I am loving the tangle free cords. I will say at first listen I wasn't blown away by the sound. You have to make sure if you're using them with an ipod, iphone, itouch or whatever "i" device you own that you change the settings to "sound check On", and make sure you have the best fit in your ear for the ear buds. It comes with 4 or 5 different sizes and I never was a fan of the kinds that stick in your ear, but these are the first that fit me comfortably and actually stay in my ears. After I made these adjustments it was...Read more

Pretty disappointing for a true Gaga fan,

I was looking to burn some birthday money and wanted to splurge on a pair of nice earbuds. Living in the city, I need the musical distraction for bus and subway rides, and to tune out annoying coworkers in a very crowded work environment. I initially wanted a pair of Beats, so I looked at their site and was thrilled to find the Heartbeats, as I am a huge Lady Gaga fan. I ordered a pair thinking I had ordered the "control talk" model, which I accidentally did not. Even then, I wanted to give them a chance and maybe keep them if they worked well. They were very disappointing. The sound quality is not as revolutionary compared to my $35 pair of Sony earbuds, and people are right - they DON'T STAY IN YOUR EAR, not even when I decided to buy the Comply foam ear inserts as some people had recommended. The ear inserts have nothing to do with how they don't fit; it's the design, sadly. The cute decorative pyramids that you see are also heavy, so they are constantly tipping back out of...Read more
