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.

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 phone calls.
-
-
Fairly pricey; some people may find they fit too snug.
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.
There is no doubt about it: this is a solid, good sounding pair of headphones. But in a world where solid, good sounding headphones are a dime a dozen and this particular pair costs quite a bit more than a dime, they’ve got to do more and, in a way, they do.

Stylish look, Improved sound

No hard shell case
Will the Solo2 continue the reign of the original Solo? I think they will. These are solid headphones that even picky cynics will agree have grown-up. The available color choices are fun too and so is the new redesigned look.
-
+
Redesigned for the better. Sound has improved vastly over the original Solo. Ear cups are comfortable and provide a tight seal. Bass is now much more subtle than before. Good soundstage. Remastered tracks sound especially good.

The included soft carrying case provides a tight fit for the headphones. The headband may be too tight for some, but could also lessen overtime. Might be too plasticky for some. The In-line remote can be a little temperamental when moving from song to song.
Beats headphones have achieved a level of notoriety based on their style, but the sound they offer isn’t for everyone. Often touted as headphones for urban music—rap and hip-hop—the Beats sound doesn’t transfer well to all genres.
What headphones are good if they can only be used for listening one kind of music? Solo 2 is a good choice for an electronica fan, but definitely not worth buying if you are a rock person.
-
+
Amazing build quality, good isolation from noise and easy to store in bags. Excellent headphones for listening electronica too.

Cannot produce all frequencies faithfully, murky vocals and not good for listening to rock music.
Beats is without a doubt one of the most popular and well-known headphones being sold today. Beats made its mark on the audio business in the last decade that left it reigning supreme on top of the list of best headphones.
Beats is without question the world's most marketed headphone and audio brand in recent years. The company took a step in the right direction when it released the Studio 2 over-ear headphones late last year with much needed improvements in audio performance with the addition of a built-in...
Solo2 ($200) is the first product to come from Beats Electronics since Apple confirmed that it would be acquiring the company, released the day after Apple's official announcement.
Beats headphones have gotten a lot of criticism over the past few years especially from the global hardcore audiophile community. Their main issue was that the buyer could get headphones with superior sound quality at a much lower price.
These headphones were great until one of the ears fully stopped working. These headphones are of very poor quality as the sound shouldn't go out after 3 months of use on a pair of ~$200 headphones. Good luck getting it replaced if you received it as a gift.
I needed to replace my daughter's beats and I just so happened to come across the hot pink beats for under $85.00! I couldn't believe it! No other colors were marked down to that price and I hadn't seen that price anywhere! So pink it was and she was delighted!
When I bought these I thought something was wrong with them . Sound kept cutting off. Took them back and salesman plugged the cord in and the same thing. I didn't want to return them until I talked to Apple. We were plugging them in the wrong was I reversed the cord and they worked .
You think when you pay $200.00 for a pair of headphones, that they would work. Only one side will work. Having to try to figure out how to return is a massive pain.
Love my new Beats! I replaced a pair that are 3 years old and the sound is amazing. They are so good that they cancel outside noise easily. I also love the new color and updated case. Lastly, they seem more durable than my originals - which I am happy about!
Beats, the biggest headphone brand in the world, selling more headphones than any other by a large margin and with a huge 60% market share in it's domestic market in the USA, has largely been the default whipping boy by the audiophile community.....until now.Why now and what's the deal?

I purchased this slick looking headphone with the hopes that it will be as functional as it is beautiful. I was not let down.
These headphones are nice! The sound quality is on point and they are made well. If you like pink, you will absolutely love these.
what can I say, excellent, good price.
