Released in 2016, the Beats Mixr were designed specifically for DJs and audiophiles with their on-ear, swiveling cups and powerful sound. But in 2024, with a slew of newer DJ-focused headphones on the market, do the Mixr still hold their own? Let’s dive into a detailed review to find out.
Design and Build:
The Beats Mixr boast a sleek and stylish design with durable plastic ear cups and a flexible, adjustable headband. The rotating ear cups swivel 180 degrees, making them ideal for one-ear monitoring while DJing. The headband is padded and comfortable for extended wear, and the overall build quality feels solid and robust.
Comfort:
The Mixr’s on-ear design provides decent comfort for short to medium listening sessions. However, the snug fit and lack of swiveling ear cups might not be ideal for everyone, especially for those with larger heads or who wear glasses. Additionally, the minimal passive noise isolation means you’ll likely hear some ambient noise.
Sound Quality:
The Mixr’s sound signature is the classic Beats profile: bass-heavy with boosted lows and slightly recessed mids and highs. This makes them great for genres like hip-hop, EDM, and electronic music. The bass is punchy and impactful without being boomy, and the mids and highs are clear and well-defined for most listening experiences. However, bass-averse listeners might find the sound a bit too bass-heavy, and those who prefer a neutral sound profile might want to look elsewhere.
Features:
The Mixr offer several features geared towards DJs:
Connectivity:
Unfortunately, the Mixr lack Bluetooth connectivity, which is a significant drawback for some users in 2024. However, the included cables offer low latency and high-quality audio, ideal for professional applications.
Verdict:
In 2024, the Beats Mixr remain a viable option for DJs and audiophiles who prioritize powerful bass, a durable build, and rotating ear cups. However, the lack of Bluetooth connectivity, snug fit, and minimal noise isolation might deter some users. Additionally, the premium price tag might make them less appealing compared to newer DJ-focused headphones with more features and improved comfort.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the pros and cons:
Pros:
Cons:
Overall, the Beats Mixr are a decent choice for DJs and bass-loving audiophiles on a budget who don’t mind the wired connection. However, the lack of Bluetooth, snug fit, and competition from newer headphones might make them less appealing to some users.
