For classical music lovers
Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6
Those who listen to hip-hop or have not climbed down from Beats can skip this item. In H6 you can find, perhaps, the most refined sound. If the bass is not fully opened in this headphones, the high frequencies, the voices — work perfectly. We know a couple of headphones that will make it even better, but they will not have this aluminum body with leather trim.

OUR OPINION:
Time ago clothes had a utilitarian nature: wear to keep warm. But then someone made them as a cult work of art industry. So the same happened with headphones: the revolution has been made by Monster with the new Beats by Dre headphones. Now almost all manufacturers started making headphones 3-10 times more expensive than we knew before. Yes, today headphones almost stand on the same level with good shoes. I have a lot of shoes, but even more headphones. Favourite for over three years — Monster Turbine Pro Copper. Their design is inspired by the very same audio cables by famous Monster Cables. And about the sound – I have not heard better in-ear headphones. And from overhead models I use Beats Solo2 because of their deep bass, and Beats Pro — for the realistic sound.
