They have "good" highs and mids when compared to ipod headphones or other crappy sub $20 ones but when compared to other headphones in the market like Audio Technicia M50s, the Beats just can't compare.

The $1200 iMac has an i3 duo core clocked at over 3ghz, 256 mb graphics card, 4gb of ram and more storage then available in 2004. Unless you forgot a 0 in how much you paid for your laptop, not a chance in hell that you aren't BS'ing.

[quote=basketballki]Ditto. Solos are very good for audiophiles and they have crisp high and mids with deep and tuned bass. But they can be expensive and there are some better options out there for you. Beats by Dre is actually relatively mediocre and not super amazing as many suggest. You could go with other Monster headphones or Bose headphones and get them for cheaper. Depends on you. I'm a drummer so I keep Bose headphones as well as noise cancellation ones. Beats Studio is pretty good for recording stuff too as I record raps here and there but Solos have too much bleed for recording stuff. Beats are pretty good but probably not worth the price. If you can afford them, then get them but there are some better headphones out there.[/quote]
Solos are garbage for audiophiles LOL They have crappy mids, crappy highs, and the only thing it has is bass, which ends up being muffled and muddy.
The only thing worse than Beats are skull candy headphones LOL
I'm not gonna lie I want a pair but the price hurts me. Are the Solo's wires detachable like the Studios in case it one day breaks like every other cheap pair of ear buds?
[quote=simrit3]Honestly, both are amazing it just matters on the amount yor willing to spend. Like me, I got my Solos on boxing day (Like black friday if u didnt know) for 130 or something.[/quote]

A 2004 may not but a 2011 Windows will severely out perform a 2011 mac if both are the same price.
My friend got Dre headphones and my other friend went to try them on and both earpieces snapped off. GG dre. You're just paying for the name, these headphones suck ass. Buy headphones from ULTRASONE half the price, triple the quality.

The sound leak is terrible, just terrible. Unless if you want to become one of those people who have their stereo on max volume while driving around town, you should go buy another brand for less.
Well i highly recommend em, when i was in apple store just buying them the cashier told me can i try em? :O i was like.. okay and he: ZZOOMGG! TYY here 99% dsc lol and then all the employees start coming and abusing my generosity , they llok like lil kids asking me to borrow them

Kind of funny, whenever I see people using these its always on their necks. Never on their ears.

"oh look i have a $300 headphones, im cool right?....right?"
About the person asking for more information on the price thing for mac VS windows
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229248
Is just one example i looked up quickly.
Leaves almost 250 dollars for a screen.
i like AKGs better =]
Daamn, guys like you make me feel bad for owning them :
I got fake beats studios for $80 :]
[quote=Souls]Have fun listening to your low-quality frostwire music.[/quote]
+1. I hate people who buy high end headphones but have low bit rate music they ripped off of YouTube.
Also I found the Solos a bit muffled. Maybe just me but thats how I remember them.
@neiiinei: No they dont slip off, when im not using them i just wear it around my neck

@aznseal: really i didn't know that please go on tell me more about how windows have better specs than macs i honestly didnt know that
I got solo, AMAZING BASS
Nope.
Still using my $12 JVC Marshmallows I've had for the past year and a half.
Yeah right. Sennheiser HD 202's. Love then. Though it would be nice to have some 428s.
Isn't it just another product that's overpriced because you're actually buying for the brand appeal?

God, Beats AND a Mac? So fail. Both things that are more about appearance then actual quality.

They're terrible. I prefer my M50s from Audio Technicia

Just because they're a brand names, doesn't make them bad. They are just overpriced but on par with the other headphones mentioned.
Beats are decent but not for the price. They look cool but not worth the extra money. Plus, they leak like a %$^#.
Trittons. 5.1 surround sound ftw.
My 15 dollar Sony headsets have better sound quality.
I use denon ah-d2000's
Very very good for DJ-ing
@above I totally agree about the sennheiser cx300. I've had all other types of in-ear headphones and none of them were as good as my cx300 II's
Lovely that you pick a product by it's brand and not by it's quality.
No, I've got better.
The sound leak is terrible, just terrible. Unless if you want to become one of those people who have their stereo on max volume while driving around town, you should go buy another brand for less.

Dr dre beats are terrible, it's all hype.
Grados/MD tribute for me
Money best spent elsewhere.
I wish my family had a fortune I could squander too
i need dre beats!
I would NEVER wear those outside my house.
I'd bet you have a Mac too
