It is not disputable that beats have stylish and sturdy designs that tend to shine compared to other headphone brands in their design. However, their audio quality may not be at par with the others.  The older Beats headphones tend to have a bass-heavy sound that lacks detail, but the recent models are better balanced. Though there has been an improvement on their audio quality, it still  delivers the rumbly and punchy bass that users have come to expect on their device.
