Hear All The Music: In Comfort and Style

With Beats Solo, you'll hear every sonic detail the musicians and recording engineers laid down in the studio. Deep bass. Hard hitting drums. Bold midrange. And clean, undistorted highs. All in a comfortable fit you can wear for hours.

  • High quality hands-free calling
  • Feel the music, not the headphones
  • Quick-access music playback control

This headphone is absolutely perfect from the sound quality to the control talk device. I have reviewed almost all the headphone market and i am hear to tell you that these are worth your money. They're great for practically anything. The build is awesome and the bass is thumping. Crisp highs and amazing lows make them even better. There are not really anything bad about these headphones that I encountered but if you go on my famed youtube page i will keep you posted. Thanks to my fans for supporting me by putting me out there. Thanks Monster for creating these revolutionary headphones.

I use my Solo's everyday during my commute to work. I love the high quality sound it produces, my music sounds better than before!

The earpiece broke after 7 months of wearing it, and the headpiece snapped into two after 10 months of wearing it.

I am very careful with my beats because I love them.
I place it in its bag when not in use.

    Comments about Beats by Dr. Dre Solo Black On-ear Headphones with ControlTalk:

    These are pretty amazing headphones. The bass isn't overpowering the mids or the highs at all. However, if you get the white one's, they do get a little dirty easier so just be cognisant about that. Also I think they should only be $150, but still great headphone nonetheless.

    Comments about Beats by Dr. Dre Solo Black On-ear Headphones with ControlTalk:

    Well, I was so anxious to get my beats. Shipping took longer than I paid for.. I am an audiophile/Music Producer so I need pristine and crisp sound with nothing over-powering anything. They got that part down. The only problem I have is, the first day that I got them, there was a buzzing that developed in the left speaker. Monster guarantees that you will not hear any buzzing or interfering noises from the product. Other than that, its a good product. The price is a little much for the product I got to be honest. If you're just a laid back listener who isn't demanding much, this product is for you.
