Beats by Dr Dre Tour Review

I got myself an earphone last week, it was purchased from Australia.

It's the Beats by dr. dre Tour in-ear phone.

Recommended by my gf and her friends.

The retails price is $179.95 in other country, but Malaysia seller is selling RM999.

I managed to get slightly cheaper than the price from Kassie's friend in Australia.

The box

It took a week for Pos laju delivered to my house all the way from Australia.

It wrapped by a black box outside.

A stunning red box that attracted my attention once I'd took it out.

A noticeable big logo and also the name were printed on the Red box.

The design is very simple and nice.

The earphone

A Beats by Dr. Dre logo on both side of earphone.

The wire is flat as you can see, they called it 'The World First tangle free cable'.

'Sound has always been the the most important thing to us, but we were determined to get rid of the annoying ritual of untangling the earbud bird's nest we all know and hate. After ten long years of passionate research, we finally found the solution. We flattened things out. The exclusive patent-pending Tour flat cable design virtually eliminates the tangles and snarls that have plagued earbuds since they hit the market. With Tours, you'll spend less time untying knots, and more time enjoying your music. You’re welcome.'

Apparently the beats word is kinda cool for me.

It's not the volume control tho, this model not included.

It has the gold plated 3.5mm plug for giving a better connection between your iPod/MP3s to your earphone.

My review

Firstly, i put it into my ear once I unboxed it. The sound were so-so and not as perfect as what Kassie told me. I'd left it for 5 hours burn-in session. I know it ain't enough for burn-in a new earphone, but impressively the earphone made a big changes for me after the burn-in session.

So far this is the best earphone I've own.

For those who doesn't know what's burn-in, click here for burn in details.

and also, this is the correct way to use an in-ear headphone.
