If the athlete is feeling a lot of pressure before the game, music may be helpful in making him relax, or on the contrary, to psych him up when it is needed. Music may also help to refocus on the task when they become distracted by worries, negative thoughts, or the jitters about their performance.

Beats By Dre Studio Headphones Vs Bose QC15 headphones?


Which noise-cancelling headphones are best? Beats By Dre Headphones Or Bose QC15 headphones? The two main camps are divided between the Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones (QC15) and Beats Studio by Dr. Dre.  Both have the same retail price ($299.99), and each have their own pros and cons. Both of these headphones compete very well against one another, and each has their own features that may or may not be a deal-breaker for you.  As far as sound goes, both are pretty much on par with each other and will give you an excellent auditory experience.  You will be able to pick out sounds and nuances of your music that you have not heard before.  Many people have said that the Beats has a slight edge on bass, which may be true but for me it wasn’t a night-and-day difference. This short (virtual) overview provides a snapshot of our conclusive findings from a comprehensive, professional head-to-head headphones review. We pitted both leading models up against one another to give you the pros and cons of each pair of noise-cancelling headphones.













Layout and Audio cables

Both come with two sets of detachable audio cables (one with an in-line remote and microphone for Apple iPods and iPhones, and one for normal devices).  Both also require batteries: the Beats requires two AA batteries while the Bose only requires one.  Both headsets will only operate with noise cancellation on, and when the batteries run out, so does the music.  This is really par for the course in a noise-cancelling set, and it shouldn’t be a major factor in your decision.
The Beats Studio are a very nice set of cans, and has a few features that the QC15 does not.  For one, it comes with Monster cables that are much beefier than the ones provided by Bose.  The Beats also has a “mute” button on the right ear-cup that you can press so that you can hear what’s going on outside your personal music world.
The Bose audio cables are thinner and are technically proprietary.  The end of each cable terminates with a little “cartridge” that fits snugly into the left can, and when installed looks completely integrated, as if the cable were permanently attached.  The cable also has a “high/low” gain switch so you can adjust the volume on high-gain devices.


Batteries

Using the Beats, the AA batteries are installed in the left ear-cup, which are revealed when you twist the “B” logo counter-clockwise.  This cap feels cheap like it will fall off, and is a little loose when clipped on.
Bose’s battery implementation has a more clever design.  You just pop open a hinge to reveal the battery compartment, which is discretely tucked away once installed.
The Beats requires two AA batteries because in addition to its noise-cancelling technology, they are also amplified.  You do notice a slight volume difference between regular headphones and the Beats, and they just appear to have more energy.

Noise Cancellation

Noise cancellation is a chief function of both the Bose QC15 and Monster Beats By Dre studio headphones, with both pairs housing electronics within the earpiece to offset external sounds. The two headphones both do an effective job of removing noise beyond the speakers, though the QC15s from Bose provide a measure of sound dampening that is simply unmatched by Monster’s Beats By Dre Studio. The Beats By Dre headphones cancel out the bulk of the ambient noise, and carries high sound sensitivity (lots of amplification) to offsets most noise; however, Bose has long been synonymous with noise-canceling technology and it proves true here.
It should be noted that neither pair of headphones work without noise reduction; when the batteries run out, the headphones will no longer produce sound.


Sound Quality

The “Studio” designation of these headphones has more to do with its audio quality than its intended use. Priced at around $300, the sound quality of these headphones is a prime draw to both pairs, and both equally live up to their billing.
There is no clear advantage in sound quality between these two pairs of headphones, though there are some distinctions. The Beats By Dre has a fuller, low-end sound with burly bass and a highly amplified sound. The Bose QC15s produce a smooth, rich sound with less low-end emphasis and a more consistent overall signal.
At their extremes, the Beats By Dre seem to hold its sound slightly better at maximum (not recommended) volumes, while the Bose QC15 carry a more even sound, sustained at its lowest volumes.

Sound Leakage

Both noise-cancelling headphones are ported because they have to release air pressure from the sealed cups, and they use microphones to sample ambient noise (The Bose uses four).  There will always be a bit of sound leakage, especially when compared with ear-buds.
One of the major factors that influenced my decision was the ambient sound that the headphones generate.  Everyone in my general vicinity could hear exactly what I was listening to, so my experience was far from private.  For me, this is a major flaw because one of the major points of having headphones is for privacy.
The Bose QC15 leaks sound about as much as any normal set of headphones, which isn’t noticeable from a few feet away.

Comfort

The Monster Beats is rather comfortable, but the earcups were a little small and the pressure was a little much on my head.
The Bose QC15 has a much lighter grip and is the most comfortable pair of headphones I’ve ever tried.  Since the pressure is less, they may slip off while exercising, but most people interested in these are commuting or sitting at a desk.
Another thing that may be a factor for you is the carrying case.  The Bose QC15s fold flat, and the case is far slimmer (so it can slip into a laptop bag) and has room for all the cables and even a pocket for your iPod.  The case for the Monster Beats is much bulkier and won’t slip into anything smaller than a gym bag, but does have a carabeaner so you can clip it to your bag, albeit with much more bulk.

Conclusion

The prevalence of smart phones and integrated MP3 players has pushed ahead consumer awareness in audio quality and moved attention to headphone performance. Noise cancellation, as a principal feature in headphones, has gone the way of the DVR, and completely transformed the experience people can have with the media. Noise-canceling technology has been refined to the point where it can be utilized for isolation alone, and manufacturers, such as Bose and Monster, have developed styles, sounds, and brands to accommodate the growing demand.
The Monster Beats By Dre “Studio” and Bose QC15 headphones are similarly regarded for their style and strong brand reputation, along with their sound quality. Currently selling online near $300, the two headphones similarly generate impressive audio, with only subtle performance distinctions in the overall sensitivity and low-end levels of the Beats By Dre. The Bose QC15s have a more even, though not more distinguished, overall sound.
Both products offer strong values, with an impressive blend of style, features, comfort, and audio quality (though you are paying something for both brand names).
The practical differences between these two are marked by the smooth integration and smart phone compatibility of the Beats By Dre Studio, allowing users to talk and mute calls, and the noise-canceling advantage of the Bose QC15. If your interest ultimately lies in noise cancellation, go with the Bose QC15s. The noise cancellation technology is just a bit better than the Monster Beats By Dre and blocks out nearly all sound entirely. However, the cell phone compatibility of the Beats By Dre 'Studio' adds another functional dimension for anyone intending to use the headphones heavily with a smart phone.
