    Best headphones out on the market

    • Written by from Glenmoore

    I have had these headphones for a week and they are great, I have owned every beat product and so far i am satisfied best with these headphones. The studios where great but the bulkiness really brought them down for me. These are nice and compact and are easy to travel with. The original solos are quiet to bassy for me. These have just enough for me and for all my music in all ranges. The sound quality is great and i love the control talk. For $200's it is a little pricy but it can do with these because they are so great. IT IS DEFENITLY WORTH THE MONEY!!! overall i love these i would recommened them to anyone ! …More

    Amazing

    • Written by from La Grande

    I just got my pair two days ago and I was a little hasty with making this purchase because all the reviews on other sites saying how easily they break. But when I put them on I was like "holy ****" the audio quality is AMAZING. Its as if you've never heard the songs you listen to before. I recommend these to everyone …More

    Ear Candy for the Audiophile... Comfort can be an issue.

    • Written by from Boston

    I had been using Koss PortaPro's (possibly the greatest headphone ever created) for the past few months, but had just recently purchased and iPhone so I was looking for some headphones with a built in mic.

    I first purchased the Beats by Dre Tour ear buds. They were completely average, even for ear buds. The next day I exchanged them for a pair of white Solo HDs, as the Studios were a bit too bulky for my liking. The difference was incredible. Out of the box, the headphones are a bit mid/low heavy, but if you go into the iTunes Equalizer and bump up the highs, the clarity is pretty incredible.

    Comfort is a bit questionable, the ear pads feel great even over long periods of time, but the headband pad can apply noticeable pressure if not correctly fitted. Those with less hair might have better luck with the headband comfort.

    Sound isolation is pretty remarkable. They are not completely noise canceling, but they do a great job of keeping unwanted noise out. Even at low volume they drown out unwanted conversation.

    If you love your music and want to give your ears a treat, I HIGHLY recommend these. Just be wary of the headband pressure.     …More

    Very Good

    • Written by from dryden

    First off I would like to explain that these are NOT the best headphones on the market, there are senheiser and grado's that are sound much better, not to say that the sound coming off of these are bad, there great, very bassy and very clear. These headphones are best suited to bass intense music, such as Dubstep or Rap, but they are still great when it comes to other kinds of music such as alternative rock or pop.

    But what these headphones are really good at is swag! A lot of people have complemented me on how they look on me and I must say that I have never seen headphones that look as good as these. The shine, the shape all make them the best looking headphones out there.

    But they have there faults, there a bit pricy but I think its worth it, the build quality is flimsy, you'll have to take good care of them because there fragile and you're ears can get very hot after a while, but the bottom line is buy these headphones because they sound great and have more swag then anything else out there!     …More

    Incredible headphones!

    • Written by from San Diego

    I recently received these headphones for my birthday, and I must say I am impressed. They have very good bass and noise isolation. They are also comfortable with their plush earcushions and quite lightweight. A few downsides are that they are a bit flimsy and are fingerprint magnets, but the right care those problems are solved. Overall they are amazing headphones with great sound quality and are perfect for travel, exercising, or everyday usage. …More
