    I bought these headphones with great expectations, however it was a disappointment in some ways..first of all it is kind of tight and gives headache beacuse of tightness after a while...i was not listening to it too loud.. volume was quite low...i wanted to remove it time to time for some relief. Another issue is that whatever i was listening is heard by somebody sitting way away from me, since there is so much noise leaking out..on the other hand , balance is good on ears and high quality sound.

    Have been using these for about 2 months now and I really enjoy them. I'm not an audiophile but I find the sound to be crisp and clear. The bass on these is definitely stronger than average. They're extremely light and comfortable to wear. They're aesthetically pleasing and stylish. They fold up nicely and are easy to transport. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase.

    I had no regrets buying this headphone! One of the best products.... I've tried sony, jbl, bose in the past but this one is just something else. With its strong funky colors, quality of the material, sound quality, and the confident you have when wearing BEATS!! BEATS any headphones competitor... I am looking forward to purchase the wireless earphone for work out...

    These are really good headphones. My 10-year old wanted them and I see why. Crisp, clear sound, strong but not excessive bass and easy to wear and use. These are certainly worth the cost.

    got it when it was on clearance for 99 dollars to make way for the newer second gen beats line. the padding is comfortable and even though it doesn't go over the entire ear, it covers enough to seal out a lot of outside noise. very light weight so wearing it at the gym doesn't effect your workout or just lounging around. delivers great bass in exchange for highs i feel. i wouldnt recommend getting it at MSRP but if found on sale its totally worth it.

    I purchased four of these headphones as a Xmas gift. All four of my relatives loved them. One of them was for my husband who was constantly buying cheaper versions of the Beats because he didn't feel right spending $169.00 for these beats. I was extremely pleased to find them on sale during your Thanksgiving sale and was even more pleased to find them online, saving me the hassle of waiting in line over night. Don't get me wrong, I have done than plenty of times in the past years and enjoyed it but was actually excited not to and still able to get the item at the price I wanted to pay. So thanks. Definitely doing it again, if I can.

    I bought this during Black Friday for considerably less then what they retail for. For the price I payed ($80), I say they're amazing. The ascetics/style of the product are an added plus to the all ready great sound quality. That being said, I'm basing my review off the price I payed for them. Meaning, although their an awesome headphone for $80, I wouldn't pay the current price of $170. There's simply better headphones out there for that price. Overall, I say, if you're in the market for the Beats Solo HD, get them during Black Friday. Although they don't make good $170 headphones, they are amazing at $80-$90.

    My 7-year-old daughter loves them! They fit her head and around her ears really well. The sound is great and the color is vibrant. We have no complaints.

    Got one from Black Friday. This headphone is amazing. The minute you put it on you wouldn't want to go back to your old one. It has a very clear sound and a very comfortable feel on your head. It's a little bit small but good enough for a beginner like me. This is perfect for running or working out. The only problem I had with this is the headphone jack that goes to my iPhone 5 with Otterbox defender. It didn't fit with the case. I have to push it hard in able for it to work. Without a case, it'll be a perfect fit.

    I purchased this item as a christmas present for my younger brother, and he' is definitely in love with them. The feel and design is pretty great, and the way it folds is also a plus. This comes with a case that matches the color of the headphones as well to be put away in a safe place and protected. You can definitely hear the bass in these headphones (They're that loud, and can be irritating sometimes), but young teens around his age love that stuff anyway. Haha. Overall, great item.

    I spent several hours debating between these and the Bose QC series. I ended up choosing these do to the excellent sound quality. The highs and bass are both prominent and balance each other well. Music sounds as it should and not muffled like some other brands I tried on. These are super comfortable, and fit really well.

    Great Sound No Good Siri/Volume

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I do not like how you have to turn the volume up every time I use them(via on the headphones). I turned the volume all the way up on the headphones that way I could just lower the volume on my iPhone and every time I get a call or play a song I have to turn the volume all the way BACK up then adjust the volume on my iPhone.Really DON'T like that!! Cannot pair with more than 1 device at the same time and Siri is horrible for 4s users! Siri has huge delay and you also have to turn the volume up every time you use her. Not to mention the delay.Only reason it gets a 4 so far is from the quality in MUSIC know bull. But I am going to have a huge problem with having to turn up every single song,call,and Siri every time I use them.Good thing on Siri is she definitly hears you wirelessly that goes for audio texting and notes.Downfalls are the constant turning up the volume on headphones for music,Siri, calls, and now I am reading more and more reviews I hear a lot of people say give it 6 to 8 months and they are done......If that happens to me ZERO!!!! Not everything is perfect but I think they may just be exactly what I wanted only had them a couple days now. I will check in once in a while to see the feedback. Other reason for the 4th star again was for audio texting.Hope this helps ya.

    Really good headphones with good design and very comfortable. The sound is really good and the design is great for storing them without breaking them or damaging the cord. A little pricey, and you're paying for the name, but if purchased during a decent sale, they are well worth it.

    I've had the headphones for a short time but so far the quality sound is very good. It brings out the bass for a lot of the music that I listen to (Trance, Dubstep, Ambience, etc) that other headphones cannot present. It's nice to be able to listen to my music without having outside noise in along with it or it even interrupting the next person around. The headphones are comfortable, and cover the ears real well where they fit for me. I also like that there are a variety of colors and different sizes and kinds. The cost is a little high but you are paying for the quality and hopefully it'll last longer than my last headphones that I dished out a lot of money for but got no results from. I would recommend The Beats by Dr. Dre to anyone who's looking for quality, excellent sound, comfort, and just the look and feel of headphones. But then again, this is my opinion and experience from them. Check it out for yourself and see what you think.

    I purchased these as gym headphones and I am not regretting it at all. They are very comfortable, sound excellent, and a huge plus for me since I use them in the gym is that the cord detaches at the earpiece as well incase you get it caught on something. A little pricey but they are quality headphones. Grab them when theyre on sale like I did, $129.99 is well worth it.

    I have been using the Beats Solo HD "Drenched in Red" for the past 2 months. The experience has been good so far. The major strength of the headset is the bass. It also provides more clarity for the sounds which otherwise would be missed. The quality of the carrycase/pouch needs to be increased.
