July 25th, 2008. That’s the year that Dr. Dre went from having his immaculately engineered and mastered music IN your head, to ON your head. That was the year that the good Doctor dropped the Monster Beats By Dre Beats Studio over-ear headphones.
I wasn’t reviewing products at that time, it being a year ahead of when I started testing youth-focused products. It was mostly gaming and media reviews for my non-profit which is a computer and tech literacy organization with some media literacy crossover.
