So Beats by Dr. Dre has a new flagship and it’s called the Executive. The big story here? They dropped the red. That red and black look that made Beats famous is gone, replaced by black leather and brushed metal. These look like boardroom gear now, and honestly that’s a smart move for a brand trying to grow up with its audience. Spec-wise you’re getting active noise cancellation and a handy auto shutoff that saves your battery when you forget to power down. The sound is tuned the way Beats does it, so the bass still hits hard, but the highs come through cleaner this time and the mids feel more honest than the older models.
Pre-orders are live now on the Beats site. Anyone planning to grab a pair?
