Beats Solo 2

Fans of booming low-end won't be disappointed by the Beats Solo 2 headphones' powerful bass and distortion-free audio performance.

Powerful, distortion-free audio with boosted bass and bright highs. Lightweight, comfortable fit. Inline remote control and microphone for mobile devices.

Big bass sound isn't for purists or anyone seeking flat response. Slightly overpriced.

If $200 is your budget for on-ear headphones, you have a plethora of options. If you'd rather have a more dialed-back bass experience without foregoing bass response completely, both the Sennheiser HD 558 and the Marshall Monitor offer excellent, rich...

Beats Solo 2 review

It's been a long time coming, but a day after Beats officially announced its sale to Apple for $3 billion, it released the successor to its on-ear Solo , one of the most popular headphones in the world. The new, improved Solo 2 carries a list price of...

The Beats Solo 2 on-ear headphones are sturdier and better-sounding than the original Solos, with somewhat more balanced sound and strong, tight bass. They offer a relatively comfortable fit and have an inline remote and microphone for making cell...

Fairly pricey; some people may find they fit too snug.

These Solo 2 may not win audiophile hearts and ears, but for its intended audience -- namely, folks who are looking for a fast, exciting headphone with lots of high-quality bass -- this is an excellent on-ear headphone.

Beats Solo2 headphones -- the hype is real! [Review]

Taste in music is very personal. My favorite genre is Hip-Hop, but many people detest that music type. And really, that's OK -- not everyone has to like everything. However, it is nice for people to respect all music. Even though I listen to songs from...

Greatly improved sound and durability.

These headphones don't feel as cheap and flimsy as the previous models of the solo headphones. They feel way more durable and sturdier. They also look better in terms of aesthetics. The sound has greatly improved. It has a more holistic sound quality...

Quality of materials, more aesthetically pleasing, better sound quality

Price. If price were lower than they will have a great competitive advantage

A Much Needed Improvement

The Solo 2s are a solid improvement over the outdated and piss poor Solo HDs. However, there are much cheaper on-ears with the same if not better sound quality. For example, the Monster Cable DNAs are almost identical to the Solos, but they are more...

Much more durable, better looking than Solo HD, sound quality is solid, the colors work very well with the design

Too expensive, still too much bass

Mushy, over-inflated bass, muddy mid-range, shrill highs

These headphones continue Beats' trend of style over substance. Sound quality is still no better than what one finds in $30 no-name headphones. There are much better alternatives available (such as Beyerdynamic DT 770, Sennheiser HD 600 ($370), Grado...
