Pros: Nice design, very portable, and lightweight.
Cons: Feels cheap, horrible sound quality. When I put them on I thought they sounded like cheap 15 dollar headphones. Very uncomfortable on the head,.

These by far are one of the most overrated headphones. I do not understand how the heck everyone thinks these are HD headphones, they're not even "OK" headphones! Sound is somewhat good, but the reason why I hate these is because they are cheap peices of plastic that are over priced. 179 dollars for headphones? Are you kidding me? I can get a pair of JVCs for 30 dollars that are much better than these beats! If you're looking for some headphones, don't be one of those ignorant teens who think beats are the best headphones just because it says HD on the box. I tried the Solo HDs, I hated them and I can only imagine what the regular ones sound like. DO NOT under ANY circumstances get ANY kind of beats. Stick with brands like Sennheiser, Audio Technica, Bose. You can get way better sounding heaphones and still get the nice look for so much cheaper.

Pros: Wonderful look (IMO), detachable cable, ...that's all
Cons: NOT WORTH THE PRICE AT ALL, bad sound quality, boomy bass, the earcups don't rotate enough

Work in progress
A friend of my brother came with his Beats Solo's, and he pleasantly accepted to lend them to me, for me to give them a try. Finally, I was able to hear by myself Head-Fi'ers' nemesis.
Briefly :
I consider them worse than my late AKG K 450's, that were 30% the price of those.
In my opinion, they look perfect. I don't know if they are particulary fragile, I don't have had them for long enough.
The earcups don't rotate enough, so they press against the backside of my ears, and it's uncomfortable. They clamp a bit hard. My SR80i's feel very ligh and comfortable in comparison. The pads of the Solo's are very comfortable themsleves though.
First thing I noticed : boxy sound.
I should have expected this, as they are closed-back headphones. It was the same thing as with my set of AKG K 450. First bad point, even if it's appliable to every closed-back headphones (or maybe not?).
The bass is boomy. Boom, boom, boom. It's unpleasant. Compared to the SE215's, whose bass are like bullets in a piece of wood, hitting firmly and precisely, the Solo's bass sound like a deflated socer balloon thrown at high speed into your face.
Guitars from metal music don't sound good on those. They don't have the abrasive, grainy, sandy texture they should have. They sound worse than on the SE215's, and poor compared to the SR80i's.
