President of Beats by Dre Luke Wood has defended the company’s headphones.

He dismissed complaints that the products were too bass heavy, saying that they work as they were originally intended to.

"I've certainly heard that as an opinion on the headphone, I disagree," he said

"We didn't go to build a reference headphone, something you build in the studio that is really a technical tool to hear when you are recording.

"If you look at Dre's pedigree, Jimmy's [Beats co-founder Jimmy Iovine] pedigree, even my pedigree, we are all recording engineers.

"What we did is build a headphone for playback. What does it sound like right when it is finished? And that is what we've accomplished."
