Fanny Wang's. A complete review for a complete product
2 Dec 2011
Here is why I think Fanny Wang beats the competition:
1) First point and a striking one is sound quality. How does it sound? Sound is thumping. The headphones work with or without the batteries in the normal off setting. Add 2 triple AAA batteries and turn on the AMP and the Bass Boost and truly feel the pulsing bass of your music and also the crisp, rich, concert hall like sound of the vocals and high notes. Sound quality comparisons to the comparable Beats are that Fanny Wang has definitely better sound quality and a little secret, (its the same sound engineer).
2) Duo-jack, tang-less cord. The cord which never seems to tangle is fantastic. I love the material that's used and the duo jack is awesome as my buddies and my brother love to share in on the tunes and beats that I make and listen to. Let's not forget the convenience and the great functionality of the Apple remote. The volume control and push-to-talk feature is great for my 4S and allows SIRI to hear me crisp and clear for all my commands. =)
3) PRICE!!! At $249.95, I feel these headphones are almost at a steal. Now customization available for the Fanny Wang Headphones (customs.fannywang.com), are you kidding me, why didn't I get these done before. The Monster Beast Studio which is considered in the same category is retailed at $349.95, almost a hundred dollars more!
I could really drag on and on but I wanted to make a couple bullet points and make due diligence for Fanny Wang Headphones Co. who made a great product. I am really happy with my Stiletto Reds and I couldn't imagine a day not wearing them.
Thank You!!!

Pretty good headphones
25 Mar 2012
Pros- Not terribly expensive
Regular mode sounds great for everything
Bass boost mode gave me a headache when listening to hip hop, rap, etc. because there was so much bass (good thing for bass heads)
VERY VERY durable
Thick cable makes for no cable noise
Comes with hard case (expected of headphones at this price point)
BETTER THAN THE BEATS BY DRE!!!!!!
Cons- Ear cups are circular and ears are not. So part of your headphones will be resting on part of your ears when you wear them. This made my earlobes hurt from the pressure after about 10 minutes. Please fix.
These are pretty heavy headphones. This could be because they sacrificed durability over comfort but they top of your head hurts very badly when your wear them for a "long" time (1 hour).

Hopefully, I'm done buying new over-ear headphones

You're here for sound, so I'll lead with that. The Fanny Wang Over-Ear headphones produce a clear and crisp sound with little distortion -- up to a certain point. The Bass Boost is great, but disappoints when you max out the volume on your iPhone / iPod / iDevice. I'm a Hip-Hop, Dance, and House kind of guy, and the Fanny Wang's are good to a point. The audio is clean and the headphones provide some great THUMP until you try to max it out. The bass distorts the audio. There's an argument to be made against maxing out headphones as it relates to ear health, but screw that noise -- we want our music loud and deafening sound is a choice, amirite?
Don't get me wrong, the loud sound is comfortable and acceptable -- but those moments where you thirst for a bit more will leave you disappointed. EQ tweaks on your device might help, but you're at the mercy of the mastering.
Anyhow, I've become something of a headphone connoisseur through the last three years. The Beats By Dre brand was very good to me. They're unfairly targeted by rabid audiophiles who are convinced the sound quality doesn't match the price point, and that consumers are paying for marketing, style, and the cool factor. It's a fair accusation, but Beats by Dre does good things you won't find from your Klipschs and Sennheisers on the market: They don't look goofy. That means something for people on the go, whose headphones are as much of an accessory as they are a utility. My frustration with theft, blown speakers in the ear cups, and a dreadul in-ear Beats experience pushed me away from the brand and landed me with Fanny Wang.
The awesome thing to note here is that Fanny Wang took its lead from Beats by Dre on design and form factor, creating something that looks good, and added their own touch with the sound and design.
Oh, I also had a brief flirtation with the Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviators, but that was short lived. Those are not good headphones.
Nonetheless, I took advantage of sliding prices on these Fanny Wang headphones. The "Tuxedo" color slid to $150 from a $249 sugg. retail price. That's usually a red flag, but the Fanny Wang's hit on two very important design structures for me: They are over-ear headphones, and they fold for an easy stow away. I rolled the dice.
The package they arrived in is absurd. It's a huge, hard plastic case that takes some time to open carefully. But that attention to detail, and daring, let me know that Fanny Wang is serious about their product, and setting themselves apart from the standard cardboard sleeve packaging we see at Best Buy. Once I finished taking the contraption apart, I got to enjoy the headphones.
After spending about a year with the Beats Studio model, I was annoyed with how much money I'd funneled into Big Battery with all these Triple-A purchases. Fanny Wang is brilliant for making headphones that still function when the battery dies. They're the first ones to understand that their product is being used for hands-free calling on a mobile device, meaning we don't need thumping bass when our wives and girlfriends call us to pick up some milk on the way home.
Another brilliant aspect of the design is how the cover for the battery door is attached to the headphones. If you were annoyed with dropping your battery doors every time you changed the juice on your Beats Studio, then you'll be elated to know that Fanny Wang took the extra step to make life easier.
It's not all rosy, though. The headphone cord is ridiculously long. We can't blame Fanny Wang for the genetics that produced me into a 5'8" adult, but the length of the cord straddles the line of convenience and absurdity. The cord does, however, deserve special commendations for its overall quality and the brilliant jack toward the bottom. Now you can share your music with other people without putting your headphones on their head. Works great if you have music-loving friends, or take long trips with people. It was great while watching a movie on my MacBook Pro during a long train ride with my lady.
Also, the headphones require some breaking in. They are immensely sturdy, which is great for the product's construction and durability, but they hurt at first. The foam presses around your ear with little forgiveness. The same goes for the overhead band. I've had to adjust to wearing the headphones in such a way that the band doesn't apply pressure on the top of my head. All that construction does lend to a fairly heavy set of headphones.
All in all, if you're looking for an alternative to Beats by Dre for a reasonable price, that hits well on sound, design, and look, then Fanny Wang is the way to go.
