Beats Studio or Beats Solo 2. Is it worth the extra 50$ for the Studios?

In my opinion, completely with the 50$. The solo beats only cover so much of the ear. Whereas, the studios cover the full ear. And I believe the studios are much stronger bass wise. If you are into that stuff.

I haven't tried the Solo², but have heard good things. Since they do not feature the active noise cancellation found on the Studio they should have better sound quality at a lower cost and should otherwise be similar in quality. Personally I'd say go to a store that allows you to try both, then compare and purchase the one you prefer on Amazon for slightly less.

I bought these for my son and this is what he has to say, hope it helps... I am not familiar with the new model by Beats, however I do own a pair of the Beats studios. I like both of them, but for exercising and working out the Combats by SOUL are far superior. They compress to my head and never slip, which I would never get from the Beats. I have no second thoughts about taking my SOUL headphones out for a run, but I would never wear my Beats for anything but sitting around.

I assume I'm getting this question because I reviewed Beats. My review was definitely not good. They were expensive, broken within less than 10 days after purchase, the break occurred in a place that couldn't really be fixed and in my opinion was due to bad design and cheap construction. So I wouldn't recommend you buy any Beats products. I've bought 2 other brands since, which were less costly, much better made and sounded better too, so Beats pretty much can't really win me back unless something drastic was to happen.

CX300 sounds like the better pair here. you could also consider Creative's EP630 or 830. The EP630 is supposedly similar in sound to the CX300. The J2 might be #3 in this group, user reviews even make the first Jbuds out to be better than them! All in all, the CX300 is cheap and sounds great

Never buy Beats. They're overpriced, overhyped branded normal headphones with unequal levels. get the ATH-M50 model. any of them. just never buy beats anything.

I have both and Audio technica ATH m50 wins sound quality wise. V-Moda wins looks wise.

Two different priced headphones, overall ATH-M50X is better especially now that they added the removable cable. The biggest gripe about the SRH 440 is the cups are not deep enough that they press against the ears and hurt them after long use ( couple hours) if price not issue M50... M50 has more thump in bass to lol

Compare the specs to the Beat's! You will be surprised. If you are hung up on the Beat's name? Well, then you're hung up! If you prefer to pay for lots of advertising, then you are hung up on paying for advertising! It's your money, if you prefer to pay for advertising for an inferior product, I suggest you purchase Beat's! Do yourself a favor and listen to them both. If that's not possible you will never be dissatisfied with MEE products which pass the advertising savings onto to the consumer.

Yes I have a friend with a pair of Beats Studios and I have the Crossfade LPs and although the Beats are somewhat more attractive, they feel more flimsy. Their sound quality is near to, but not exactly at the quality of the Crossfade LPs. I have also had the Crossfade LPs for two years and they have not changed at all since the day I got them. They are EXTREMELY durable. Beats on the other hand, I have heard have a tendency to break. If you are going for a large brand name and style, then go for beats. If you want a pair of headphones that sound good, feel good, and last forever, get the Crossfade LPs.

It depends on what type of music you listen to. Beats headphones are known for their bass. If your music that you listen to has a lot of bass in it then I would suggest to beats headphones

These are definitely closer to - if not the exact same size as - the Solo Beats. Skip them. I'm currently using the Bose AE2w Bluetooth headphones. Best headphones I've ever owned.

I do own the Audio Technica M50 and it dose have a great impact on the sound. I recently returned the fiio because to me I hear no difference listening through my Galexy S5. The built in DAC in the phone sound good as with the Fiio. To me the only advantage the Fiio has is the built in amp alone. Other then that it sound the same. One thing I notice is that when you use it with the smart phone and listen like Pandora, you will get EMI interfaces from time to time, especially when recieving signal. Again, recommended head phones? M50 OR M50X you will be impressed with the sound. Beats is all cosmetic and its not detailed when it comes to sound quality.

Hey John, yes, S2.0 has been a great purchase. It has separate EQs and sends for each drum. I use it with Sonar which has a percussion channel effect that I assign to each drum for the EQ/shaping. The overhead/ambient mixing took time to get used to.

I have the wireless beats in Gold and have the m50x. yes the m50x sound better but for working out and running around Im always with the beats. They do look good especially if you get the gold and have blond hair. People are always asking me about them so i think its more of a fashion accessory. The bright side is if u bang the beats around at the gym and bring them to the apple store they can replace them 10 months later.

I would recommend the Avid Fast Track Solo. There is even a version that comes with an educational version of Pro Tools. Also, well under 200 bucks.
