Beats by Dr. Dre Studio High-Definition Headphones from Monster
$349.99
Let me start out by saying I'm a professional DJ and producer, and over the years have amassed numerous headphones, from 500 dollar Shure in canals, to Technics, Sony's, and Sennheisers.

These Beats by Dre simply don't make the cut. The sound quality is subpar at best, they sound a little muffed, and don't produce nearly the quality you'd expect. They do have a nice sturdy built, and an attractive design, but don't let that fool you. For 300 dollars you can go way better. Check Sony's MDR700s, for less than half the price you will have much warmer, more true sound than these will ever be able to deliver.

I would pass on these, if you don't trust me go to your local best buy and hear them yourself.

Harvard Beats Yale 29-29
$26.95
The 1968 Harvard-Yale football game is rightfully considered one of the greatest in the history of college football. The game that is virtually always rated the greatest game ever occurred the next with Arkansas and Texas, rated #2 and #1 playing the last regular season game of the first one hundred years of college football, with Billy Graham giving the opening prayer and Richard Nixon giving the trophy after the game. And while that game will long be considered the best, largely because of the unrepeatable circumstances surrounding the game. But to be perfectly honest, for sheer entertainment, the Yale-Harvard game was better. What makes this documentary so great is not that it does a fine job of recounting one of the classic games, complete with interviews with most of the key figures in the game (sadly Calvin Hill, the player from the game with the most successful pro career, did not participate in the film), but that it recreates the large social setting of the day. The ending is one of the most famous in the history of college football, but what gives it so much impact in this film is getting the reaction of the players to the game and learning what their situation away from the field was. The overall result is one of the most entertaining films that I've seen in quite a while.

One of the things that makes the film so much fun is that the players included some familiar people. Brian Dowling remains one of the most famous Ivy League players ever while Calvin Hill enjoyed a memorable career with the Dallas Cowboys. Actor Tommy Lee Jones, who played for Harvard, is one of the interviewees. And famous people were lingering on the edges. One player was dating Meryl Streep, Tommy Lee Jones was rooming with Al Gore, and one player had roomed with George W. Bush, who had graduated from Yale the previous spring.

On a pure football note, it is interesting to see that had Yale taken care of the football, they would have won with ease. Key fumbles led to Harvard scores and prevented Yale ones. I was delighted watching the replays of famous Yale QB Brian Dowling. I knew that he was the basis for the character BD in the Doonesbury comic strip, but I had never actually seen any extended footage of him playing. He was an incredibly exciting player to watch, a Roger Staubauch/Fran Tarkenton type scrambler who was brilliant at finding receivers as he ran around in the backfield. Going into the game Dowling had the distinction of never having lost a football game. And despite the title of the film, he never did.

Beats by Dr. Dre Tour High-Resolution In-Ear Headphones from Monster
$179.95
These are the best I've ever owned. 28 years old.. been listening to music on headphones for many years. I always have headphones in my ears and go through many pairs. These have different tips that can really make a vacuum seal. My friend was yelling next to me and I couldn't hear him. Incredible bass, but YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO APPLY IN- EAR HEADPHONES!!!!!!!!!!

I'm very happy with this purchase from Best Buy. I also bought the 2 yr plan, so I basically have no worries about them breaking or whatever for TWO YEARS!........

Monster Cable was always the best... beats JL audio for car installation.... (JL makes awesome subs + amps though)

Don't even read the negative reviews because they are few and far between... Reviews on this should only be 2, 3 or 4 stars. There is NO WAY POSSIBLE for these to get a "1" unless the person doesn't know how to put them in their ears.

I'm not paid to type this, I'm just on my 5th hour listening to these and am very happy with them. Had to share.
