    Beats by Dr. Dre can't beat the competition
    • Written by JN from phoenix
    • Aug 4, 2008

    Unfortunately, the majority of audio consumers have been brain washed with the likes of mediocre products such as Bose, and headphones like these. First of all, no offense to Dr. Dre, but stay away from audio equipment endorsed by celebrities, What's next, Hannah Montana headphones? Let's start with the sound, nothing special here, especially for $350. Highs are not there and bass is far from controlled. Do yourself a favor and do some research in names like Sennheiser, AKG, & Grado. These brands will give you professional sound reproduction and at less than half the cost of the "Beats" phones. Bottom line, research and choose wisely. Your ears will thank you in the end. …More

    Brutally overpriced
    • Written by BS from Savannah
    • Jul 26, 2008

    Very colored, hyped at the high and low end, and only begin to wake up with Hip-hop and Rap only. (Go figure, a headset created in collaboration with a rap producer.) The average joe will listen to them and might be impressed because of the qualities I described in them and then they will see Monster and Dr. Dre on the box and will scrounge every last penny to get a pair and go on thinking they are the best headphones on the market. "I paid $350 for these and they are by Monster, they must be undeniably good." Along the same exact lines that Bose does with their QC2s and the incessant hype commercials on TV.

    I now have a much better understanding of exactly who these are marketed to and it is too bad that they screwed up such a great concept by being so cheap. Ideally they would have been more reasonably priced, designed and sound significantly better. They want to awaken the average joe to how moving good sound quality can be and develop an appreciation for fidelity in audio and with such an easily recognizable name they could get that exposure. I think we all get it but it is like trying to convince a vegan to eat an overcooked $3 steak. OK, so not that bad, they do have their moments when they sound nice but there must be some sort of on-the-fly adjusting DSP built into them because the SQ seems to vary even in the same song.

    The packaging is quite smart because it is fairly well designed and clever which adds to the illusion of a "quality" product. Once you hold them in your hands you can tell they are cheaply made. The design of the actual headphones is nice but holding them in your hands alone instantly tells you that they should cost ~$100 at most.

    Back to the sound, they are very forward and exhibit distortion in the strangest frequencies even at low levels, yet exaggerate others. (It is almost as if the frequency response curve is a roller coaster.) There is a lot of bass and every now and then it can sound nice but it seems you feel the drivers through the ear cups more than you hear the actual output. To briefly sum up the overall SQ, they sound synthetic.

    Now, they aren't horrible and they will absolutely smoke stock earbuds and headphones that come with portable players but it is the people coming from lower end sound gear that Monster is hoping these will appeal to.     …More

    When I received this as a gift, being an avid music nut I fully appreciated the quality and comfort styling.But to be perfectly honest the cost is excessive for this product.I myself would not buy it and I am sure could find something just as good in quality for alot less.So if you can blow the money go ahead, but for those needing value as well as quality keep looking. …More

    Misleading name, weak build, fail sound
    • Written by FX from perth
    • Jan 11, 2012

    First of all, I have headphones that cost as much as the Studios. I have heard many others that cost nearly as much and less, and I am a member of one of the biggest audio forums on the internet. I have experience in making electronics music so I know what a studio is meant to sound like. The Beats Studio does not sound like a studio at all ! Studios needs a flat FR (frequency response ) or in other words, neutral and realistic, and the Beats studio's sound is in no way neutral, the headphone is bass heavy, which means for genres like Jazz, it sounds horrible. I personally listen to EDM and Hip-Hop and find the bass of these headphones to be unsatisfying. Although the mid bass of this headphone is emphasized, the sub bass is extremely rolled off (quiet). The soundstage of these headphones are also disappointing. The ANC (active noise cancelling) on this headphone is also bad. It barely has an effect, not to mention with an ANC circuit, any kind of high quality external amp is completely useless, therefore you are stuck with the low quality internal amp. The idea of ANC on a studio headphone is also illogical, since most of studios are not noisy at all. The build quality of these headphones are also horrible, even though monster cable does offer warranty with these headphone, it will be very difficult to replace them because of the horrible customer service. In conclusion, these are horrible headphones that only sell because of Dr Dre's endorsements and they don't sound like a studio headphone at all. DON'T BUY THESE. …More

    I believe Dr. Dre stated in his latest interview that the Solo HD's have High Definition technology. Sadly, they still haven't fixed their build flaw. This flaw causes these great headphones to snap like a twig. If you plan on getting these, do be careful with them. …More

    • Asked by PR from Villa De Alvarez

    Best Answer

    Yes! If you press the button in the middle of the mic once, you can pause/play a track. If you press it twice (consecutively), you can skip forward to the next track. If you press it three times (consecutively), you can skip back to the previous track. Of course, the buttons on either end control the volume. I just tried it on my iPhone 4 (iOS 5) to make sure. Hope this helps! :) Also, pressing the middle of the mic one time can accept incoming calls and end them once you are finished, while pressing and holding the button for approx 2 seconds will reject them. If you happen to be on a call, you can accept an incoming call and put your current call on hold by pressing the middle button once. If you want to answer the incoming call and end the current call, press and hold the middle button for 2 seconds. …More

    Monster Beats is just the name for the headphone line. The Studio Beats features noise canceling in an over-ear design that require two AAA batteries (included). These are the high dollar ones ($299). Solo Beats are the smaller version. They do not have noise canceling in them and they sit on the ear. They also don't require any batteries to operate. These run a bit cheaper ($179). …More
