Trying to find out specs difference between Beats Solo HD and Beats by Dr. Dre Solo HD with ControlTalk. I guess the ControlTalk has a 4' cord? Is this really a good thing if you are wanting to wear them in the gym or biking or walking? Why are the ControlTalk ones more expensive? Are they an older model? Thank you!

To be honest, the long cord gets pretty annoying, and the control talk is only useful if you plan on using them with a phone. Which I personally would not do. I have actually seen people answer their phone with their beats on and proceed to talk like they are on a loud street corner with trains and all other sorts of noise happening when in reality they are standing at a quiet bus-stop in the morning yelling like they're insane. Noise cancelling headphones will do that when you can't hear yourself speak.So no, they really aren't worth it. Any other cord will do.

no, control talk is just the type of cable the beats come along with, its a more specialized cable that comes with a neck lengh volume and mic, for easy changing song and volume, they work perfect for all u mention since u dot need to retrieve your phone

like others have said it kinda depends on your needs. Over the years I have had many pairs but have settled on the On Ear recently with the mic. Reasons are: I wanted portability fold into small package for travel, use with iPhone to take calls, control music while working out. They are very comfortable and sound great for the price. Hope this helps!

It's expensive. For a closed headphone, it is good. I think it's pretty much the DT770 32ohm with an attached mic. However, the mic itself leaves much to be desired for the price. If I could do it over again, I'd get the DT770 32ohm and a modmic and save some $$ while getting a better mic. Also, U.S. based customer support on Beyerdynamic headphones isn't that great. Finally, since mine have gone out of warranty, while they still sound great, they are physically disintegrating.

They're the exact same unit. To be perfectly honest I was very disappointed in the fit and finish of them, and the sound quality was not much better than my Beats Tour headphones. I wish someone would've told me before I bought them! :)

I'm an audio junkie and own both the turbines and the monster dr. dre tour beats..not even close..if you like bass go with the tour beats....turbines 5 out of 10 for bass..tour beats 7.5 out of 10 for bass.. hope this helps..if you like teriffic sound with great bass, try the koss porta pros for $30..a very small over ear set that sounds amazing!! Absolutely blows away the turbines and tour beats...

I honestly have no idea. :). I've seen the white one was $599 on the Beats website, and the one I have was $299. I know some are wireless which may be why they are more expensive, but unfortunately these are not.

Well its by the official beats seller page, but i ask you to ask your self are theres headphones the best headphones for you? Because the sound like beats, not that thats a bad thing if you only listen to rap and other bass heavy music. If your going to listening to anything else these are not the head phones for you, my best suggestion (based on what have used and own) the ath m50x or ath m70x are what i use for every thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yoAj-PRsZ0

Id need to know which AT cans you were talking about. The cheap AT cans I take with me to monitor ENG interviews are just as good as my BeatsPro for that application. They fall apart when compared in a studio mixing setting where I expect to hear all of the frequencies with no distortion. Beats are known for low end response so they rock for hip-hop/rap/funk. I listen to a lot of film score and jazz on them too. Again, its tough for me to say with certainty that BeatsPros are superior to AT headphones as my AT's cost less than $50 and are for a very specific use. I am btw an AT user for microphones and am a fan of their quality. Id need to know which AT cans you were talking about.

i don't see any difference and that price is a lot better than the 149.99 i paid, but i love my dr dre beats so i am happy with my product i don't know about these

1. I own a pair. They are closed back and will have to be realllly loud for sound to be heard by others. Sounds leak is not an issue with this one bit. 2. They are ranked 2nd on a list of top 5 headphones under $200 - http://boldlist.net/top-5-headphones-under-200.php3. They also hold up really well and don't show much wear and tear. Highly recommend.

I just read your comments and was wondering which product you were talking about. I also have a hard time finding a bluetooth or head phones that stay on my ears. I have almost completely given up on a bluetooth, but was considering trying one of the bluetooth headsets that go behind your neck or over your head? Any suggestions?

The old version was the limited detox version of the beats pro when beats was still with monster. The new version is just a black version of the new beats pro without monster. However they are basically the same headphones except for the naming. I hope that helps.

Absolutely! The headphones are a major improvement from the beats solo. They almost cover my entire ear and they have a lot of padding around the headphones

Superior alternatives you should check out:donscorpio dolphin from penon audiom audio q40logitech ue6000Beats are very overpriced. They spend a ton on marketing and pretty much nothing on the product.If you are looking for good headphone reviews, check outhttp://www.head-fi.org/products/beats-solo-hd-on-ear-headphonehttp://www.head-fi.org/products/monster-beats-solo-hd-product-red-headphones-with-controltalkhttp://www.head-fi.org

Thank you very much for your help!I found the same headphones at the apple store online (for a lot more then here!). They show the PX 100 in two colors (white and black---no mention of a "W") and the picture they show of the white one is the same as here. It is very strange how different the descriptions are, but I'm going to have to agree with you that they are basically the same.Thanks again for your help, JoshEDIT: The Sennheiser site has the same discription for both products: http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/productdetail.asp?transid=005206 Thank you very much for your help!I found the same headphones at the apple store online (for a lot more then here!).

I'm search "Monster Powerbeats" and cannot find it to help answer your question, but I will say, for years I have been trying and search earbuds that won't fall out of ears while exercising and not causing back of ear pain....this is the best! It stays in place!!!! And the sound quality is true what they say :) Good Luck.

i have a pair of the lp2 and i have played around with the dna's. the vmoda headphones are far better quality/better built and have better sound. on top of it all you can even customize the metal shields to make it your own, you cant do that with the dna's
