I think Beats Electronics has made a Gem of a Headphone considering the price point and given it's past history and their dominance in the headphone market over $100. The Beats solo 2 have very good Sound if you like Bass and gets the average consumer a very good sounding headphone along with a fashion piece
Now as long as Beats improve on this with their other offering like the Studio's ( doubt it since V2 just came out) but with the Pro, In ear lineup, and the executive Beats might shed that "Beats Suck" moniker it has around here
While I do like AKG headphones trying out a few my friend has I would just never wear them outside. I also would consider myself a Bass head so while I do tend to like Bass emphasized headphones Neutral ones has a place as well
