Styled like a smaller Beats Studio, this pair features the same sleek design as other Beats headphones but with a more reasonable price and a foldable figure for better portability. Still, for an over-ear pair of closed headphones, the Beats Studio does well enough.īeats has been criticized for selling overpriced headphones, and if you can't afford the higher-than-average prices of some of its best models, the Beats Solo 2 is for you. The trademark skew on the bass is tellingly there and can affect sound separation, preventing the sound from expanding. Sound quality is better than Beats' other models. Instead, they make perfect commuter headphones with pretty good active noise cancelling features and a comfortable build that lets the synthetic leather on the ear pads cup your ears softly and the rubber headband stay snugly on your head. Comfortable, stylish and one of the better-sounding Beats headphones out there, although for the $350 price, the Beats Studio are not exactly made for the studio.
