OFFICIAL New Beats Solo 2 Review!

2014-06-25
what's going on everyone is your average consumer and today I've got a review for you guys of the brand new beats solo2 x' so let's not wasting time let's get right into it all right guys here we have the new beats solo2 this is the newest entry into the beats headphone line and this is currently the replacement for the beats solo HDS beats claims these have updated and improve acoustics but let's see if it's worth your $200 first let's talk about the design and the build quality it sports an almost identical look to the new Beats Studio while of course retaining the solo HD smaller footprint it is slightly larger than the solo HDS however and like most of the beats they come in quite a few colors you have black red white blue pink and silver and it should be noted that the black is the only color that features the red accents it shares many of the same design cues from the larger studio such as a more curved look a high-gloss finish which is quite the fingerprint magnet mind you larger and more padded ear cups and not to mention the overall design of the ear cups with a nice red accents much like the new Beats Studio it offers improved build quality and mini C build quality as beats weakest point but that shouldn't be a concern with the new design the curved headband won't allow for snapping as easily as the original flat version I'm honestly not too confident in the quality of the hinges found on beats however as I've noticed over time they usually become pretty loose I'm afraid that this may be an issue here as not much has changed with the hinges but it's still far too early to determine whether or not that will happen next let's talk about comfort the solo tools have everything needed to be comfortable headphones the curved and adjustable headband should be a good fit for anyone with a normal-sized head and even those with a Jimmy Neutron thing going on the ear cups offer a great amount of padding for the ear and actually has a really great seal around the ear even though these are considered on the ear headphones although all of this sounds great I found these to be pretty tight on my ears while this definitely helps the headphone to feel secure and with sound isolation after a while it became a bit unbearable especially since these ear cups are pressing down on them just about all of your ear it's a similar discomfort to that of the mixers but these have much better ear cups included with the solo tools is a single cable with remote talk controls volume controls as well as the plane pause feature work with most Apple products and just play and pause for Android the cable features an l-shaped input which is great as it won't bend in your pocket and it's high enough to work with mobile device cases and speaking of cases this comes with a dumbed-down version of the solo HDS travel pouch there's no longer a handle on the case to hold it by the case itself does offer some decent protection but you still have to be weary of impact damage and putting too much pressure on it I also wish they didn't remove the inside pouch so cables would have a spot inside of the case beats definitely took a step backwards with the accessories as they only include one cable a dumbed down version of the travel pouch and not even a microfiber cloth but with all that aside let's get to what you're actually here for the sound quality now I know you're wondering did they really improve the sound absolutely beats like a similar approach to what they did with the new studios and focus a bit more on clarity bass is more controlled and doesn't cause the music to sound muddy or drowned out the sound is definitely more polished without sacrificing too much bass and it doesn't offer the clarity to the levels of the new beat studios or the v-moda XS I'll go more in depth with that in their comparison videos I think these are great for genres like rap hip hop dubstep pretty much anything Basie but I do wish vocals had a bit more presence but these still sound good nonetheless overall beats is definitely headed in the right direction with these tweaks and upgrades and I'll definitely take overall better sound quality with a slight hit to the bass any day but don't misunderstand just because they've controlled the bass a bit more doesn't mean you won't feel it as mentioned by my girlfriend it's still very present oh my gosh you have to feel these they have like a it might even like the Skullcandy where it has like the basic a lot of babies oh my gosh you could feel it like in the ear cups Oh tons of bass there have it now do I recommend you picking up a pair it depends if you have sensitive ears I definitely try out a display unit first and see if you're okay with the feel with that aside I think as a package it is worth it you're getting good build and sound quality and a very nice-looking headphone I don't think it's for everyone but I think the average music listeners should definitely enjoy these and they're worth the try but of course it's time to show you guys what they look like on so heritage we'll start off with a front view so here you have it and of course from the sides and up top and for when you're not using it put on your neck here it is and that's about it so guys like I said I really like the direction these are going with the new headphones they started off with the new Beats Studio really upgrading the sound quality and they definitely do something somewhere here so good stuff buy beats definitely trying to change their image as far as sound quality goes so that's about it for this review guys hopefully you enjoyed it if you did be the cool guy that hits the thumbs up button and subscribe to the channel for more content for me I'm going to have some comparison videos of this guy so definitely stay tuned for that and I'll catch you guys in the next video till then is your average consumer please you
