I'm stuck between mixr or solo. I tried the solo 2 and I quite liked it. I wanted the mixr but many says they are uncomfortable. Are they really THAT uncomfortable? I would want a balanced sounding headphone or a good mids headphone. I tried the momentum and urbanite on ear and honestly they sound worse then beats to me. Any other recommendations if you think beats sucks? I would also want a good looking(or at least decent) pair of headphones. My audio source is my Redmi Note 4G phone with topping nx1 amp.

If you think the beats sounds better than the Momentum or Urbanite just buy it.
No point buying something if you won't enjoy it.
 
Personally I would consider the moral choices of purchases too.
I'd much rather my money goes into the pockets of a company that invests into audio research and design of better sound and better headphones.
Instead of a multi billion dollar company that puts marketing and fashion above all else.

Isn't this the fifth thread you've opened to find your future purchase???

I would strongly suggest to revisit your first post/thread instead of spamming the forum with similar/identical posts on the same topic with the same goal.

Yeah sry. Among mixr and solo 2, do you know which has better sound quality?

 

[GREQ]

I've never heard either of them.
 
I've only read that the solo 2 isn't too bad, and the mixr is pretty poor.
 
I think Tyll on innerfidelity was fairly impressed with the new solo2.. the measurements back it up fairly well.

If I had to do a blind purchase, (and there were no other headphones left in the universe) that's the one I'd go for out of the two. - but it's a totally uninformed choice.
I know nothing about their comfort or build quality.

Does anyone know if the mixr has better sound quality or not?

 

[Feilong4]

I remember with a brief demo of the Mixr's and the Solo 2's that I liked the Solo 2's more though not by much. 
 
And yes, the Mixr's were pretty uncomfortable for me.
 
I didn't really like either, as I thought vocals sounding way too distant and recessed for my liking and the bass was way too much even with the newer variations.
 
Not to say that you shouldn't buy them though, but as for the Solo 2's or the Mixr's I would go for the Solo 2's.

Anyone else?

 

[GREQ]

I think everyone else is too embarrassed to say they've tried either of them 

 ...... 

 

[Xlezia]

If only the mixr were available for testing in my country XD. Only tested the solo 2 which actually sounds damn nice compared to the supposingly better momentum and urbanite

 

[Xlezia]

Bump

Try the Audio Technica MSR7's best look to sound qaulity ratio (which is what I think your preferences are) headphone around. You won't be disappointed.

You might also check out the AKG K553 Pro and the SoundMAGIC HP150--both are excellent values for the dollar and both will sound significantly better than either the Solo 2 or the Mixr

 

[Xlezia]

They look goofy, I would prefer a better looking headphone as mainly wear them outside.

Should I get black or white? I can get white cheaper but will the pads turn yellow due to sweat?
