Review: Monster PowerBeats Sport Headphones By Dr. Dre

That red cord. You've seen it. Maybe it was at the gym; maybe it was on the bus ? but you've seen it. With their Beats By Dr. Dre line, Monster has done what they do best: take a commonplace item, and turn it into a status symbol. How? By making their offering retail-level luxury, so to speak. They price things juuuust cheap enough that brick-and-mortar stores will still put it on their shelves, but expensive enough (that is, more expensive than most of their Best Buy competition) that many shoppers would inherently assume that they're the best available. But you, dear friend, know better. You know that more money doesn't necessarily work out to better performance ? and you have the Internet! We took one of Monster's latest addition to the Beats By Dr. Dre line, the PowerBeats Sport Headphones (complete with in-line iPhone/iPod controls!), for a spin. How'd they do? Find out after the jump.
