Beats Solo2 Wireless

The pricey Beats Solo2 Wireless headphones offer sculpted, but balanced, Bluetooth audio.

Powerful audio performance with rich bass and well-defined highs. Can be used in wired, passive mode. Comfortable design.

Price is a bit high. Not for purists seeking flat response.

Conclusions The Beats Solo2 Wireless offers a supremely comfortable fit and delivers audio that is very sculpted, but in a pleasing way, with a focus on clarity in the highs and not overdoing things in the lows. The headphones also sound solid when...

Beats Solo 2 Wireless review: Very good wireless on-ears, but the price hurts

Beats on-ear Bluetooth headphone has lot going for it, but there are better values out there, including the more expensive Studio Wireless.

The Beats Solo 2 Wireless is a well-built wireless headphone that sounds good in both wireless and wired modes and is relatively comfortable to wear for an on-ear headphone. Its battery life is decent and has a remote control built-in to the right...

Expensive; doesn't sound quite as good as the Bose SoundLink On-Ear Bluetooth, which costs $50 less.

Beats on-ear Bluetooth headphone has lot going for it, but it doesn't quite justify its lofty price tag.

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

By now, headphone enthusiasts should know the drill with Beats: If you love big, booming bass, read on, and if you want a flat-response, critical listening-appropriate headphone pair, move on past the Beats Solo 2 (maybe to the Editors' Choice...

On-ear Beats Solo 2 steps up its design and sound

Beats' successor to its bestselling on-ear headphone is a distinct improvement over the original, both in design and sound quality.

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 ( White)

The Solo 2 looks a lot like a mini version of Beats' revamped over-ear Studio (2013) headphone. For starters, the earpads have been redesigned with swankier materials that make the headphones slightly more comfortable and should hold up better over...

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

Starting at the center of the flexible headband, the frame of the Solo2 Wireless has a one-of-a-kind curve that gives it a custom-fit feeling. The headphone’s fast flowing curves, lack of visible screws, and pivoting ear-cups complete this natural fit,...

Three alternatives to Beats Solo2 headphones

Beats headphones are popular, but if you're concerned about their sound quality, consider an alternative.

Headphones are one area where you don’t always get what you pay for. At $200, the Beats Solo2 is certainly not a versatile headphone. If you like the Beats style, and the bass-laden sound, then it might be for you, but the build quality and poor audio...
