About the Beats by Dr. Dre™ Solo
The big sound of Beats, in a lightweight design
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.
Built-in controls for iPod® and iPhone®
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.

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

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!
