    Any idea what price that makes them, around €150? And is that price for all colours?

    No i think the red, white and navy were slightly cheaper than the green and black i think they were around €160 not 100% sure though. The studios worked out having more off. Having owned both i'd recommend those over the Solos if you can afford the difference.

    Save yourself some money and don't buy what amounts to little more than an over priced fashion accessory.

    Search over in the Headphones & Portable Audio Devices forum for a good set of headphones that are actually worth what you pay.

    Could not agree more if your getting them for a child or a teen where what is popular is all that really matters then go for it but . Beats are NOT something you get for anyone with experience in music the base is far to heavy and comes at the price poor vocal and mid range quality .The akg 450s are far better and now retail for around €60-40

    Just wondering if anyone knows the prices on Beats Solo HD headphones in HMV now? I'm out of the country but will buy them in the airport when flying back in if they're any cheaper so if anyone had any idea of the current price or offers in HMV or elsewhere I'd appreciate it because I was told they would have new offers on them coming up to Christmas. Thanks in advance!

    Saw this too.

    They're cheap Chinese knock-offs. Friend of mine was in China 2 months ago and they were all over the place. He got his for €20. Said they work fine (obviously the quality of sound wont be the same!)
