Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lady Gaga Heartbeats In-Ear Headphones (Black Chrome)Customer Review: It's fashionable, but that's it. Summary: 2 Stars
At an Ellen show interview, Ellen asked Lady Gaga if what she was wearing was comfortable. She replied that it was fashionable. Unfortunately, it's the same response for "heartbeats".
Perhaps I was expecting a lot more out of this product. I also admit that I fell for the advertising machine, and since I'm obsessed with Lady Gaga - I bought her version.
First the sound...
I'm not a musician, so I'll do my best to explain. If your music is built for electronic noise and pumping, then the headphones will deliver. What I mean by "noise" is music such as hip hop, dance, house, techno, trance, and perhaps (I didn't test this) heavy metal. Basically, if bass or electronic synthesis is a foundation of your song - you'll have a good time.
So, I had a great time listening to Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Armin Van Buuren, Timbaland, The Killers, and more current Madonna songs. However, when it came to playing Coldplay, Green Day, Metric, and Tori Amos- it made no difference that I could tell at least.
Now, the product...
It doesn't fit perfectly. The product comes with a variety of ear buds, but that doesn't help. It should have been built as an over the ear product, like I've seen with other less expensive, but just as good products. As a result, it's not a good gym or jogging buddy.
If you have to buy this product, make sure you buy the ones that have the volume control on the cord (I think there is one). Because for $100 or even $45 dollars I expected a volume control - seems reasonable to me for the price, but unfortunately that's not the case with this product.
It does come in a nice box though, and a nice carrying case.
I did not purchase this item at Amazon. I bought mine for $45 at Ebay, and I'm glad I didn't pay the full price ($100 - $120) that I see in stores. So I'm not completely displeased.
I don't really recommend purchasing it. The best that I can say about this product is that it's nice looking, and does a good job at drowning out outside noise. But to be honest, I didn't see much difference between heartbeats and the headphones that came with my Ipod Touch. Too much is dependent on the quality of your mp3 player, and the quality and style of the song itself.
