Having picked up five stars back in 2008 we deemed it time to put the Beats by Dre up against fresh competition. They're stylish and solidly made but we're not sure they quite cut the mustard compared to the best here. Flush on the ear and capable at isolating noise they're less gifted at cancelling typical background frequencies. But there's much to like in the sound:
Vampire Weekend's Holiday sounds lively, delivering a dynamic sound, although it lacks a touch of poise.
