Our take on the Beats by Dr. Dre™ Solo

by James Ralston

The big sound of Beats, in a lightweight design

These stylish headphones deliver accurate, hard-hitting sound, but they're light enough to wear comfortably for hours. Noted hip-hop producer Dr. Dre created the Beats headphone line to reproduce the music the way he knew it should sound. Beats Solos bring out the the bass, treble detail, and dynamics in your music, and they sport a compact on-ear design for listening just about anywhere.

Folded for travel

Built-in controls for iPod® and iPhone®

ControlTalk

A remote built into the headphone cable lets you control music playback without having to dig your iPod or iPhone out of your pocket. You can even answer calls on your iPhone hands-free, thanks to the in-line microphone. (See "Hands-on Research," below, for a list of compatible iPods and other devices.)

Made for on-the-go listening

The Solos fold down to a compact package that's easy to carry — take them with you for gym workouts or trips out of town. The removable headphone cord uses gold-plated contacts at both ends for maximum signal transfer and corrosion resistance.

Highlights:

  • folding, on-the-ear design
  • plush earcup padding helps seal out external noises
  • in-line remote and microphone for use with iPod® and iPhone®
  • 52" removable headphone cord with 24k gold-plated miniplug connectors
  • anti-microbial cleaning cloth included
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    Features

    True Dynamics: The Beats Solo with ControlTalk can reproduce the true dynamics of today's music with deep bass, clear midrange, and undistorted highs.

    Natural Fit: With Solos, you feel the music, not the headphones. Plush, on-ear cushions comfort your ears and form an acoustic seal that keeps the sound in and noise out.

    Tri-Fold Design: The Solos are compact and incredibly lightweight and ready for your active lifestyle, gym work out, or frequent travel. The tri-fold design allows Solos to fit into the included compact carrying case.

    ControlTalk: With the built-in ControlTalk remote on the Beats Solo headphone cable, you get on-cable control of your music, as well as easy, high quality hands-free calling. You can enjoy quick-access music playback control, like volume, play/pause and tracking, without having to dig for your iPod or iPhone. Plus, the high-grade mic and high-resolution, sound-isolating headphones all combine to let you hear and be heard much more clearly and conveniently than you could with your cell-phone to your ear. ControlTalk offers the following music and phone functions.

    • Music: Play/Pause, Skip/Previous Track, Volume Up/Down
    • Phone: Answer/End, Decline call, Call Waiting, Volume Up/Down

    iPod/iPhone Compatibility Chart: The ControlTalk function is compatible with the following Apple iPod and iPhone models (as of December 2010).

    Once you go Beats, everything else is defeat(ed). I switched back in my in-ear headphones and they failed in comparison. The noise cancellation is a big plus factor, also a safety risk. Comfort is the only down side long period of listen tends to hurt my ears because they are being pressed against my head, but that's expected. Overall, these headphones are the (Expletive):D

    Good Bass sounds

    Written By ifmpeb, Fairfax,va on Friday, October 26, 2012

    Very nice headphones. Bought for my son. If you like Bass they are for you. They are strong on Bass not as stong on high notes. The are very durable which is great when giving headphones to a teenager that goes through headphones like water. Price point of under 200.00 is good as well.
    Pros:
    bass sound, build quality, look and feel, comfort
    Cons:
    price, high notes

    Earphones have a great sound...no outside noise interferance with these! Christmas gift for my grandson and he LOVES them! I was so impressed with Crutchfield's fast service! I ordered them one morning and received them by mail the following afternoon. In addition, Crutchfield was a little less expensive than other places I'd shopped and they offered free shipping! Great combination!

    Muddy

    Written By David, Altoona, Iowa on Friday, June 10, 2011
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I'm VERY disappointed in these headphones. They pack some bass punch, to be sure, and the highs are there, but there is absolutely no midrange whatsoever. Everything sounds muddy and muffled, as if underwater. I don't like them and would not recommend them a bit.

    WOW! These headphones are FANTASTIC. From one end of the scale to the
    other is crisp and clean. I even wear these when I am mowing the lawn and
    using the weed eater. If it weren't for the vibrations of the machines, I couldn't
    tell that they were running. It totaly negates the outside noise. Now, can you
    do something about hearing my wife!? haha

    The sound clarity on these headphones are unbelievable. The bass is amazing with these
    head phones. The best thing is that they are not huge and very comfortable to wear. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a quality set of headphones!

    First experience ordering from Crutchfield and it was a great experience. Customer service was second to none. I thought I ordered too late to receive by Christmas but received my own gift when the headphones arrived on Christmas Eve.

    My teenage son loves the headphones. He started a trend on the basketball team after he wore his Dr. Dray's to the game the day after Christmas. The next game following nearly the entire team was sporting headphones!

    A++ for satisfaction.
