I found the beats way to heavy for extended use. are these lighter than beats?

Dont know if they are lighter but they are more comfortable. Better fit and balance and lined with soft velvet around the ears.

According to Sennheiser's website, they're 260g, which is the same as Beats Studio headphones. These headphones were designed for listening at home, not for portability, so they're not especially light. If that weight is uncomfortable for you, you might want to consider lightweight headphones like the Bowers & Wilkins P3 or Bose QC15. Of course, the audio quality isn't the same. Or consider the Beyerdynamic T70p, which is actually a bit heavier than the HD 650 but has a more modern design that distributes the weight comfortably around the ears. I can listen to those Beyerdynamics all day.

hmmm... its tough to say as I don't know the exact weight of each and I cant really remember how heavy beats felt on my head. I do know that these were created for professional use and they did make these with the understanding that someone would have them on their head for extended periods of time - so I find them super comfy

I haven't used Beats, but I play drums with these for 2 - 3 hours and I hardly know they're there. I don't expect the sound pattern would be the same, however as Sennheisers go for tonal balance and don't exaggerate bass.

It depends on what you need them for. Well they are very light not heavy like Dre beats. I use mine to do studio work and to learn songs. They are very durable. I don't think they are to big but you could go to guitar center and try some out

I haven't tried working out with them yet and I didn't think about heaviness before you asked this question, but I would say there's definitely a difference between them and say, ipod headphones. I don't think it would be to the degree that it would be bothersome though.

Hello Tuna,I really cant Compare the two do to the fact I have never owned beats,but I can tell you that, for the price they make great headphone for the gym. I hope I was helpful.

Never buy Beats. They're overpriced, overhyped branded normal headphones with unequal levels. get the ATH-M50 model. any of them. just never buy beats anything.

Yes I have a friend with a pair of Beats Studios and I have the Crossfade LPs and although the Beats are somewhat more attractive, they feel more flimsy. Their sound quality is near to, but not exactly at the quality of the Crossfade LPs. I have also had the Crossfade LPs for two years and they have not changed at all since the day I got them. They are EXTREMELY durable. Beats on the other hand, I have heard have a tendency to break. If you are going for a large brand name and style, then go for beats. If you want a pair of headphones that sound good, feel good, and last forever, get the Crossfade LPs.

They're the exact same unit. To be perfectly honest I was very disappointed in the fit and finish of them, and the sound quality was not much better than my Beats Tour headphones. I wish someone would've told me before I bought them! :)

It depends on what you mean by heavy. I don't find them to be very heavy but I don't use a hands free device.

P7 is better than beats pro in all freq. I owned both beats pro and P7. heavy bass is good on beats pro, and only heavy bass is good for beats pro. The detail and quality is much better for P7 than Beats. I hardly use beats now. And I'm considering to sell the beats on ebay.

These headphones are much thicker and heavier than Beats studio/solo headphones, there is no audio control on the wire like Beats headphones, no Bluetooth either. As for how they will stay on your head if you ran around, I'm sure they will slip off. So, sitting on a flat bench knocking out some bench press - they should be ok. Cycling, they should be ok, running on thread mil - not ok. Also, I'd expect the sweat to stay in your ear - they do hug the ears well.

It depends on what type of music you listen to. Beats headphones are known for their bass. If your music that you listen to has a lot of bass in it then I would suggest to beats headphones

no, but unless you are really tight for space, they are way worth the money for the sound quality. You can buy hard or soft cases to fit them for $15-$30. These are not "fashion" headphones like Beats. The are designed to be used with portable, but are much more true to the original signal.

I've owned both and they are both good headphones. The Inspiration are on the heavier side compared to the extremely light weight Momentum. I was happy with the sound with both headphones but the Momentum are definitely better at everything.

I wouldn't say that they feel heavy over time, however the pressure on your ears becomes tiring on long trips. If you think that would bother you, then I think your best bet would be to get a set that completely cover your ears unlike these which sit directly on them. Other than that, these are great. I use them all the time when I travel.

I assume I'm getting this question because I reviewed Beats. My review was definitely not good. They were expensive, broken within less than 10 days after purchase, the break occurred in a place that couldn't really be fixed and in my opinion was due to bad design and cheap construction. So I wouldn't recommend you buy any Beats products. I've bought 2 other brands since, which were less costly, much better made and sounded better too, so Beats pretty much can't really win me back unless something drastic was to happen.

No these aren't the original. Best bet is to muster up the extra $150 or find a different brand. Most producers don't recommend beats because they don't process the high or low frequencies well. Hope I helped!

i just got mine and the sound is on par with my bluebirdx , as a matter of fact im returning those and get me 140 bucks back , these are lighter and i got 7 hours continuous play and a few phone calls with them non stop , i will review them as soon as i get a few charges under my belt and really get them broke in , the bass is a bit strong so i used my eq on my phone to get more treble and they are louder than the bluebird x headset
