Dr. Dre Solo Beats: Smaller, but packing the same formidable punch?
We've tried out the two previous iterations of Dr. Dre headphones, both the Studio Beats headphones and the in-ear Tour Beats earphones, and think they're some of the best-sounding cans we've ever heard at any price. Now there's Beats Solo, a new version from the good doctor with an over-the-ear style that's smaller and lighter. They'll be available in November in either black or white, and appear to be a worthy compromise between the two existing models.
If these Solos are anything like the other two versions of Monster's Dr. Dre Beats headphones, they're going to be well worth their relatively steep $219.95 price. Monster says these Beats Solo phones crank out the same high-quality sound as the full-sized Studio Beats. Has Dr. Dre stumbled upon some magical alchemy, defying the laws of physics and making smaller headphones sound as good as larger ones? In the case of beating the Beats, that's a tall order.

I love the over the head and in ear headphones. I sold the over the head to get the in ear cuz i was tired of carrying them but they were great headsets. The in-ears ones took some time to get used to but they were great once my ears were able to get accustomed to them. http://ziggytek.com/

Yea I have the In ear tour ones, I love them, they're great, I've been wanting the over the ear headphones but I don't like how big they are...I think I may get these Solo Beats....They seem like easier to carry around....then I'd sell my in-ear ones.

*Your. Not you're. Stop thinking about your country so much, and rather think more about grammar.

I was typing that comment on an iPhone. Clearly it doesn't recognize that it was wrong. It is funny that Americans created the iPhone, can't even program proper grammar. Good thing I sold it to a stupid American and got a superior Canadian product........ a Blackberry.
America smokes Canada's pole.
