Made largely of glossy black and soft-touch red plastic, they could easily appear cheap but the finish is in fact very good. All told they straddle the priorities of weight and build successfully. The on-ear cushioning pads are topped with real leather, and are soft and comfy. On-ear headphones can cause discomfort for those with more sensitive ears, as they rest directly on them but less so than usual here.
Noise isolation is fairly good too, the inch-thick pads creating a reasonable seal between your ears and the outside world. This makes the Beats Solo HD better-suited than many over-ear headphones for use on public transport — a good thing given how frequently we see them worn on trains and buses — though in-ear headphones or noise cancelling sets provide another level of noise reduction.
Another big win for the flexibility of these headphones is its removable cable. A standard 3. The bundled cables do offer some neat custom tweaks, though. The jacks bear the Monster and Beats branding, and the cable is finished in the trademark Beats red. Two cables are included in the box — both of just over 1m in length — one bearing a ControlTalk handsfree and remote housing, the other doing without. Much in the same way as the iPhone design has become too common to be assessed without looking through the prism of its success, the Monster Beats range is too popular to be abstracted entirely from its associations.
Aside from the headphones and the pair of cables, the box also includes a neat neoprene carry case and a cleaning cloth a red one, naturally. We reviewed the Solo pair last year and were thoroughly unimpressed with their sound. These headphones have been designed under the philosophy that big bass is good bass.
What results from this faulty approach to the bottom end is best described as a cloying fug. Like eating caramel that sticks to the roof of your mouth, it may seem pleasant at first, but as more and more of the stuff is shovelled into your mouth — continually refusing to be swallowed until long after it has outstayed its welcome — it just gets annoying. Top-end detail and resolution are significantly improved over the very poor efforts of the Beats Solo, but the sound is nevertheless unbalanced.
Clarity remains mediocre. However, the opposite is true, acting as a catalyst for their sonic dysfunction. They likely use 40mm drivers similar to the best at the price, but the skewed sound signature ruins their chances of approaching their performance. Not that this has adversely affected sales, mind. Verdict Realising quite how poor the original Solo headphones sounded for their money, Monster has improved sound in the Beats HD.
