Member Reviews: Beats Solo by Dr. Dre On-Ear Headphones with ControlTalk (White)

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...

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 worth the third of the Beats.   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...
