Pros

Great sound reproduction.
Rich and balanced bass/treble/midrange.
You can easily hear the difference between highs and lows.
Inclusion of the ControlTalk cable extends the functionality for iPhone & iPod users.
Design aesthetic is top notch.

Cons

Trifold design is still a bit flimsy.
After many hours of wearing they can start to become uncomfortable.
Expensive.

The vast majority of people buying Beats headphones are doing it for the style or fashion rather than audio prowess. But for iPhone users who don’t actually know what bitrate their music is stored at, the Solo HD headphones conveniently sound...

Realising quite how poor the original Solo headphones sounded for their money, Monster has improved things for the Beats HD. However, it hasn't done nearly enough. An attractive design offering good comfort can't hide that their muddy sound...

The Solo HD’s are a welcome upgrade to the previous version of the Solo. They now have a glossy finish whereas the original pair had a Matte and more easily scratchable finish. The ControlTalk cable is also a welcome addition, making it convenient...

Avec le Solo HD, Monster ne fait pas mieux que le Solo. On peut même dire qu'il fait pire puisque le casque est plus cher. En effet, le son soi-disant haute définition est encore plus brouillon et bouché qu'avec le Solo normal. Si...
