5.0 out of 5 stars Quality headphones, a better choice than the Beats Studio, December 14, 2009

Last year, I tried out a pair of Beats Studio noise-cancelling headphones at an Apple Store and, upon listening to the music selection, decided that it was the best sounding headphones I had ever listened to. I was impressed enough that I was tempted to purchase them on the spot...but I had some hesitations which led me to walk out empty-handed. The caveats then were:
-Battery required for operation (due to the noise-cancelling function, which I didn't need)
-Large size
-The plastic material felt cheap and likely to crack easily
-and of course, the price (about three-hundred fifty USD at the time)

The sound of the Beats Studio had "haunted" me since, as I searched in vain for a cheaper and better quality pair of headphones which matched or beat that sound. I tried pairs from Grado, Ultimate Ears, Sennheiser, Bose, but never felt satisfied with the sound quality as I had with the Beats Studio. Finally, a couple of weeks ago, I learned that these...

2.0 out of 5 stars For bass lovers only., January 9, 2010
This review is from: Beats Solo by Dr. Dre On-Ear Headphones with ControlTalk (Black) (Electronics)
I tried a pair of these headphones at a Best Buy demo station and was immediately blown away by the bass. I quickly bought a pair hoping all my music would sound just as good with that kind of bass. Unfortunately when I got home and started listening to music on my iPod I was very disappointed by the overall sound quality.

Yes, the bass is amazing, but the mid-range is blown out and not at all natural sounding for most music. Even worse the highs are very weak and it seemed like I was missing a lot of the high range while listening to the music. For example, many female singers sounded distant and muffled. I am not an audiophile, but I had a pair of Sony v900 studio headphones which had recently given out after 10 years of use, which the Beats solo were supposed to replace. The v900's had far better balance and a much more natural sound than the Beats, and I only paid $150 compared to the $180 for the Beats.

On the positive side the Beat's look very nice and the... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars They're okay, January 28, 2010

This review is from: Beats Solo by Dr. Dre On-Ear Headphones with ControlTalk (Black) (Electronics)
I bought these hoping that they would be my primary iphone/ipod headphones. I'm writing this review after trying them out for a month. (I just returned them today).

Well, the headphones were okay. The sound wasn't that great. I listen to all types of music (rap, classic rock, classical) on the headphones. I also listened from my computer, directly from the CD, and from my mp3 player. No big difference. I changed my EQ to acoustic to see if it would make the sound better (it didn't). I really can't say that the solo's are vastly superior to the earbuds that came with my iphone. I read some reviews that headphones have to be used for a while before they sound good. Well, after a month they sound pretty much the as they did when i first bought them. Also, the headphones don't block out very much background noise on an airplane. I know they're not noise cancelling, but i'm just letting you know.

My complaint is that music didn't sound crisp. The headphones... Read more
