Product Description

The music you listen to in your headphones should capture all the sonic details the artist wanted you to hear. But normal headphones can't deliver the rich, full sound in today's digital audio tracks, especially not smaller, lightweight headphones. But Solos high performance headphones, which are designed for today's active lifestyles, deliver sound so real, you'll be amazed it's all coming from something so compact and portable.

Control iPod the Easy Way
Quick access, on-cable playback control of your iPod*, including pause, next track and volume

Ultimate Hands Free
Be heard clearly with built-in, hi fidelity mic. Hear clearly through two sound isolating, high-resolution headphones.

Folding Design and Touring Case
Solos fold up for easy packing. The included Touring case features rigid construction for enhanced construction.

Monster(r) Clean Cloth(tm)
Ultra-soft cleaning cloth with Aegis(r) microbe shield cleans Solo's finish and controls germs.

One Year Limited Warranty

Hear All The Music: In Comfort and Style
Headphones that could reproduce the true dynamics of today's music were a rarity--until the legendary Beats(tm) Studio(tm) hit the scene. Now, a new headphone in the Beats tradition, Beats Solo(tm), brings you amazing sound in a smaller, lighter on-ear design. With Beats Solo, you'll hear every sonic detail the musicians and recording engineers laid down in the studio. Deep bass. Hard hitting drums. Bold midrange. And clean, undistorted highs. All in a comfortable fit you can wear for hours.

Perfect While on the Move
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. With Beats Solos getting a great music experience has never been easier.

ControlTalk: The Ultimate in iPod Control and Hands Free Calling
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'll enjoy quick-access music playback control, like volume, play/pause and tracking, without having to dig for your iPod. 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 ever could with the phone to your ear.

A 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.

What's In The Box?
- Beats Solo on-ear headphones
- Monster Headphone cable with ControlTalk
- Travel case

Customer Reviews
4 out of 5 (2 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Fashionable and Functional..The Best of Both Worlds."
Sound: Very Bass heavy sound..I primarily listen to rock music and with a bit of EQ tweaking, the Monster Beats Solo are more than adequate. When listening through my iPhone, selecting the "Sound Check" option in the Settings---->iPod menu makes a great difference. I also set the EQ itself to "Flat". I am very satisfied with these headphones. Feature: Great set of features included with the Monster Beats Solo. The iPod control cable is especially helpful. While others may complain about the fit, I find them quite comfortable. Ease of Use: Other than the EQ tweaking on the iPhone, these headphones are pretty much plug and play. Just decide if you are going to use the iPod/iPhone control cable or the regular one, plug em in and off you go. I did perform a 48 hour break-in with a constant loop of Muse's Black Holes and Revelations in FLAC to help accelerate the natural progression of new headphones opening up. Quality: My biggest concern is the headband. I have heard of many horror stories about owners putting these headphones on, only to have them snap in half at any given moment. Ive pulled these apart pretty aggressively and the band did not even squeak. Im really hoping that durability will not be an issue with these $200.00 headphones. From what I have read, Monster's customer service is not that great. Value: I feel that these headphones are not worth the selling price compared to other headphones. Manufacturer Support: I have had no interaction yet with the company. The Wow Factor: This is the main reason why I purchased these headphones. I find them very fashionable and quite modern looking. I guess Im lucky that they are actually a decent sounding headphone to boot! Overall: Im not 100% sure that I would purchase the Monster Beats Solo again. I feel that they are a bit overpriced and there are probably better headphones on the market in the $200.00 price range. That said, they are comfortable, sound good and seem to be reliable. I would rather just stick with these and be happy with the results then return them in hopes of exchanging them with something that may sound better..
Style of Music: Rock, Alternative, Blues, Heavy Rock
