The Dr Dre Beats Mixr

 The Dr Dre Beats Mixr comes in several colors, and my video review shows the green color version I purchased. The Mixr seems to be mostly metal, but some of the outer earcup or headband parts may be plastic. The fact that I can't tell which means it's pretty well made. The earpads are round, and the holes in the center over the drivers are 1.5 inches in diameter. So the earpads are on-ear, not around-ear. The headband clamp is pretty strong, but I got used to that the first day. The earpads push on the outer ear parts because of the clamping pressure, and some people may find them uncomfortable at first. I think most people who are used to headphones will adjust to the Mixr eventually and find it comfortable enough. The 4-ft. straight cable is detachable and single-side entry, but it can be plugged into either earcup. The other end for the computer or music player is an Apple-style right-angle miniplug. A second cable that's partly coiled is also provided, along with a very nice very small hard-shell carrycase.
