Trying to find out specs difference between Beats Solo HD and Beats by Dr. Dre Solo HD with ControlTalk. I guess the ControlTalk has a 4' cord? Is this really a good thing if you are wanting to wear them in the gym or biking or walking? Why are the ControlTalk ones more expensive? Are they an older model? Thank you!

To be honest, the long cord gets pretty annoying, and the control talk is only useful if you plan on using them with a phone. Which I personally would not do. I have actually seen people answer their phone with their beats on and proceed to talk like they are on a loud street corner with trains and all other sorts of noise happening when in reality they are standing at a quiet bus-stop in the morning yelling like they're insane. Noise cancelling headphones will do that when you can't hear yourself speak.So no, they really aren't worth it. Any other cord will do.

no, control talk is just the type of cable the beats come along with, its a more specialized cable that comes with a neck lengh volume and mic, for easy changing song and volume, they work perfect for all u mention since u dot need to retrieve your phone

These are definitely closer to - if not the exact same size as - the Solo Beats. Skip them. I'm currently using the Bose AE2w Bluetooth headphones. Best headphones I've ever owned.

I'm an audio junkie and own both the turbines and the monster dr. dre tour beats..not even close..if you like bass go with the tour beats....turbines 5 out of 10 for bass..tour beats 7.5 out of 10 for bass.. hope this helps..if you like teriffic sound with great bass, try the koss porta pros for $30..a very small over ear set that sounds amazing!! Absolutely blows away the turbines and tour beats...

could be whoever advertised the headphone wasn't paying attention its more likely to be the 32 ohm like in the description. i use the dt990 250 ohm powered off the schiit magni 2 (Recomended) otherwise the 32 ohm version is a nice option for more compatibility with e.g. a smartphone, although these headphones are a bit too nice to take on the go.

I've had both. Sadly they both suffered from the same problem. They became disconnected from the bud itself. It was nice having the big water proof dongle for runs and things like that but ultimately I think that the sound quality was roughly the same between the two. I had both for about 6-9 months. Don't get me wrong these are great earbuds but I did expect them to last longer and I will probably not purchase them again. Currently I have both the Harman Kardon BT over-ear headphones and the NC model as well. No complaints yet.

Arun, I have what I consider a smallish-sized head. I often "close" headphones, put them on, and only have to extend them a very small amount, if at all. The DT880 have never given me a problem with being loose. They are among the most comfortable headphones that I have used, if not the most comfortable (and I've used a fair number of headphones). If you like to jump around and throw your head back and forth while listening to music, I'm not sure if these headphones (or any) would stay on. However, you're just sitting/standing, working at a desk, watching tv, playing a game, or similar, then I would not anticipate a problem. Arun, I have what I consider a smallish-sized head.

Id need to know which AT cans you were talking about. The cheap AT cans I take with me to monitor ENG interviews are just as good as my BeatsPro for that application. They fall apart when compared in a studio mixing setting where I expect to hear all of the frequencies with no distortion. Beats are known for low end response so they rock for hip-hop/rap/funk. I listen to a lot of film score and jazz on them too. Again, its tough for me to say with certainty that BeatsPros are superior to AT headphones as my AT's cost less than $50 and are for a very specific use. I am btw an AT user for microphones and am a fan of their quality. Id need to know which AT cans you were talking about.

I found them superior to PowerBeats 2 due to:- More secure fit; PowerBeats 2 dislodged about every 1-2 miles while running- Richer sound- Most importantly, the PowerBeats 2 cord kept getting stuck to the back of my neck, so that when I would turn my head the earpiece on the side opposite my gaze would dislodge. Super annoying.

Hi there! I'm not a tech expert, but I don't think there's a difference. I re-listed it under the same listing that it was purchased for me. It was purchased for me as a gift, and I already had headphones. Sorry I can't help more

It's nothing like Dr. dre beats! My kids use them ( they are 7) and for the price u can beat them. The bass is ok but if ur Looking for headphones to asenuiate the bass these are not it.

They were built as a luxury set of headphones. The materials in the newer model are not as nice for the sake of making them cheaper. If cost is no issue, these are better, if you car about the $100, then the other set is nearly identical.

i have a pair of the lp2 and i have played around with the dna's. the vmoda headphones are far better quality/better built and have better sound. on top of it all you can even customize the metal shields to make it your own, you cant do that with the dna's

I had the same problem with (much, MUCH more expensive) Sennheiser CX400 earbuds - it was awful. I could hear my *hair*, who wants to listen to their hair? Unfortunately, i'm pretty sure all earbuds that have the sound isolation via making full contact between the rubbery part that sits in your ear, and your ear canal itself, are going to conduct some cord noise. No matter what, the cord must be attached in a way that is so integral to the construction that conductivity is a matter of physics. I find these significantly less objectionable than the Sennheisers, in fact I'm not bothered at all (maybe I got used to it?) But with the sound at a decent volume it's hardly noticeable. I really like these (I saw this post when I came looking to buy another pair or two in different colors). So I tried an experiment, on your behalf -- I put the earbuds in my ears, then draped the cord around the back of my neck. I then simulated moving around (hey, I wasn't about to get up off the couch :) by taking the remaining free part of the cord and whipping it around. Not bad, not bad at all. At the resulting length, you'd need to carry your music player approximately at your waist, and with that wrapping strategy it will minimize the cord hitting against things. Bottom line, at the price (plus, doesn't Amazon give you five bucks of free mp3s if you buy them? they did my last pair), go for it, they're better than Sennheisers at three or four times as much money, so ... what the heck, right?

Coincidentally, my local music store had a headphone testing/"sale"(10%, covered tax lol) over the weekend. I own the anniversary ed and , although i was there to pick up my guitar cabinet, I tried out the white K702, along with other headphones. The amplifier used was a different form factor than my own(they had a solid state and i use tube), but the noticeable differences, regardless, where bass and comfort. the Annies performed better in these areas. There are claims that trebles are also improved, more clear and tight, but i would have needed to hear both headphones in the same setup to have noticed.

in the booklet that came with my headphones it says the cord length is 1.2 meters which is just under four feet. the cord is not detachable but i like the fact that it just has one cord and not two like most other headphones. the control unit is around six inches from the headset. these headphones really sound great to me as far as a set that costs under $100. i've had them for over a year and no problems so far. the only issue is have is that the control unit only works on iphones or itouch, but the microphone will work on android and any other type of cell phone!
