The Sonys are bigger better built, and I actually think they look the better of the 2. and I canвЂ™t believe I am saying this, and I would rather have the Beats Solo 2. Looks and comfort-wise, itвЂ™s a tie, but overall. Build quality is on another level with the M80's a seriously tough headphone with some replaceable parts. The Beats Solo 2 comes with a stronger bass presence, and the V-Moda M80 hit back with better sounding treble. ThatвЂ™s compared to other beats.what about the real competition? Beats Solo 2 vs. Without a doubt, the Beats Solo 2 are the best sounding only Beats headphones you can buy right nowВ (I have spent time with them all). The Solo 2 are laid back with a rolled-off and recessed treble, and considering the type of music one is likely to use on a set of Beats, it can see as a positive. The mids themselves now sound more forward and are presented with more natural tones than the Solo 2's tinny-sounding predecessor.

The headphonesВ are still certainly bassy and warm-sounding headphones, but itвЂ™s actually done quite well.Д®verything else has been tightened up, offeringВ more of a punch sound in the lows whichВ still extends deep but bleeds only a little into the mids, if at all. Bass that bled all over the rest of the sound spectrum, but you know what? ThatВ doesn't seem to be the case during the BeatsВ Solo 2В review. The Original Beats Solo and Beats Studio were some of the worst offenders when it came to flabby, bloated, fart-like bass. What I wonвЂ™t accept is when the bassВ positively screws up everything else. Not in the way that many audiophiles claim to be searching for the perfect neutral flat sounding or neutral headphone (I personally think that sucks (unless you are actually intent onВ monitoring)), no, I love me some bass, some down, dirty, brain shaking bass. My original issue with the majority of Beats by Dre products has been the bass. Now on to the part that I expected to hate the most. The Beats also sit fairly far off the head as opposed to the slimline designs from Vmoda, but this really comes down to personal style preference. The Solo 2 offer good clamping force making noise isolation fairly good, perfect for commuting however, keep in mind that this, combined with the on-ear design instead of over-ear, can lead to discomfort over long listening sessions. The Beats Solo obviously pale compared to something like my Vmoda M80 or Sony MDR-1, but itвЂ™s nice to know that the Beats won't be falling apart. The build is still unfortunately plastic, but it is of decent build and feels pretty strong in hand and features a nice thick cable soft pads and strong hinges. While the Solo 2 headphones retain the original Solo's familiar shape, they have been refined and streamlined. The Beats Solo 2, for starts, is one of the nicest looking headphones in their lineup. I found myself wholly unimpressed by the larger Beats by Dre Studio but have been caught off guard during my time conducting the Beats Solo 2 Review.

It seems that Beats have been listening to consumers, and in the past year, the company has released a few new models. The 'other' camp appreciates the Beats line as a fashion accessory and, dare I say, 'powerful' bass canon, but there also seems to be a large camp of detractors left unimpressed by the headphone goliath. However, through smart marketing and killer product placement, Beats by Dre have become the go-to headphone for celebrities and trendy folk around the world. They have long been renowned in the audiophile community for having poor sound quality and a ridiculously high price. Few things are more polarising to audiophiles and headphone enthusiasts than the mention of Beats by Dre headphones.
