Monster Wows At Beats By Dre Reveal, P. Diddy Helps Unveil Diddy Beats Earbuds

If you want a high end headset that combines style with sound, you’ve probably been looking to no avail for quite some time now. I’m happy to say your wait is over thanks to the Beats By Dre line of Monster headsets.

Revealed at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas tonight, the new line of headsets looks to bring studio and club sounds to listeners, while as Interscope records CEO Jimmy Lovine said, bringing back the emotion of the music that has become distorted by digital audio.

The “Head Monster” Noel Lee started the night out by entering the suite where the event was held on his segway, introducing everyone to why the line was started and then bringing out Loving who quickly introduced Dr. Dre.

After a few quick words Dre then helped unveil two new over the ears headset. The first unit, the Solo HD, is a headset designed to bring users the sounds of the studio environment, in, as the name would suggest, full High Definition quality. The headsets on display, a crisp red colored unit was sleek and stylish with a nice glossy paint job that should impress any audiophile.

The next reveal was a headset aimed at taking the sounds of the club to the user, without needed to crank the volume past 10. As Loving pointed out, kids these days listen to their music at increasing sound levels to bring out the emotions of the music which are often lost throughout the recording and dubbing process. The unit is a headset designed with DJ’s in mind and as the name suggests it allows users to swivel the headset away from the users ear, a popular function provided by DJ’s when spinning.

Here’s Jimmy Lovine’s son, who is a DJ himself showing off the swivel feature:

Here’s another look at the DJ inspired headset:

Looking at the bottom of the headsets users will also find two input jacks, the perfect option for choosing which side your cord hangs from, while also allowing for “daisy chaining” headsets to one another as the user sees fit.

Finally P. Diddy was invited to the front of the room where he unveiled his DittyBeats earbud headset which combines leather with cool colors for both genders, including a stark white offering he was sporting, a black option and a pink option for the ladies. The earbuds look well fashioned for comfort and their sleek well thought out finish should be a nice option for users looking at headsets that offer more fashion and higher quality than Shure and other top notch options.

Diddy said he got involved because Dr. Dre is one of his hero’s, while also telling stories about his childhood and music:

My mother played music for me as a child, and I grew up loving the way music made me feel. It brought out joy and pain. It was my first career, my first love,” he went on to say. “No matter how many roads I travel, my heart always takes me back there. Music is my life, and Diddy Beats is an expression of how great sound makes me feel.”

Finally the entire team announced their participation in the U2 led “Project Red” which will donate part of the proceeds earned from each red colored Solo HD

Overall I was extremely happy with the new Beats by Dre offerings and I can’t wait to see more from the team at Interscope and Monster, hopefully in the very near future.

Just for the heck of it, here’s a few pictures of Dr. Dre and P. Diddy at the party:
