The entire range of mixr beats headphones by dr dre on full display (to date: Sept 2013).

From left > right starting with mixr beats neon range ( ltd editions) in colours pink, blue , green, yellow and orange, followed with  standard mixr range - red (ltd edition in UK), white and black. 

Neon range of mixr beats are noticeable for vivid colours and uniform white ear cups, compared to the standard mixr beats which have the same color ear cups as the headband and ear cup arms that have more subtle/classic colours. The black mixr beats are one of if not my number one fave out of the entire range, the all black theme even covers the ring surrounding the beats "b" logo which is silver on the red and white standard mixrs, but I guess this break of continuity on black mixrs was chosen by beats as it enhances the red beats logo and overall cool style. Beats also broke continuity with the black mixrs by using a black tone of colour circular bevel used on each ear cup arm for adjusting fit and pivoting, which is a silver/chrome effect on red and white standard range, for added style as already mentioned I'd guess was also beats reason here.

The mixr series of headphones was designed in collaboration with French celebrity DJ David Guetta who spent 2 years in developing the mixr headphone to what it is today.  Primarily designed for DJ's, live performers and audio engineers, they also can be used as simple listening to music by anyone, especially for users requiring light weight, small footprint easily carried when travelling use.

Noticeable features which show mixr's dj and professional capabilities is the 270-degree radius,  pivoting ear cup arms, which smoothly rotate for seamless transition to single ear monitoring. As with all beats headphones, each ear cup has individual jack input to choose which side left or right to connect and with an extra jack input allows another connection to daisy chain from, so a friend can hook up to your headphone jack to listen to your music with you. A light weight feel, ultra compact design, and high grade materials ensure mixr headphones are natural performers.

Mixr beats have the loudest drivers throughout the entire beats range, likely to cover professional use such as in a dj environment where a booming club sound system may make monitoring the next track to be mixed difficult with standard volume headphones.  The max volume level is amazingly loud and distortion free.

The mixr range manufactured by beats LLC seem to have a more neutral sound compared to the mixrs produced by Monster which had more of a bass sound signature.

Mixr headphones were firstly produced on behalf of beats by Monster, until their contract expired and not renewed when beats LLC produced product directly.  All mixr beats on photo are produced by beats LLC,   apart from  black standard mixers produced by Monster, noticeable by logo markings on each side of ear cup arm in replacing the "beats" markings on standard red and white mixrs, which in turn differ from neon range marked with "mixr" rather than "beats" or monster logo. Monster wording also displays on cables jack input outer casing on black mixr beats (cables not shown on pic).

Standard beats mixr beats come with the usual red colour cables that connect headphones to your playback device, and also a black hard shell carry case for storage and protection, and a micro fibre cleaning cloth to keep mixrs spick & span gleaming. Neon mixr beats range are the first beats headphone to not use standard red cable, instead use white, as is the hard shell carry case rather than standard mixrs black type.

Cables provided are one with in-line microphone for taking calls if using mixrs with smart phone, as volume fades out to allow interference free communications.  This cable also has volume control, track forward and back, in addition to answer/end call and voice dial.  Second cable is a straight jack to jack type with no features other than connecting headphones to device, for DJ, sound engineer etc use.

Mixr beats sound quality is fantastic, easily handling heavy bass without any distortion, and the new neon range have an improved sound signature of a more neutral sound than before which many regard an improvement from prior signature that leaned towards a more bass driven sound reproduction.

Mixr headphones, altogether - hard to beats...

The Mixr is a very neutral-warm headphone where if the user wants a leaner bass, simple to adjust. It's a good sign that they have a range of tunings now that bracket various hi-fi tastes, and hi-fi is the key. If you wanna see some real failures in this business, try the original Philips M1 released for the U.S. market, or the newer Marshall Monitor 'FX'.
