eggssell Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 * haha and not sol dios, but maybe you may want to ask for royalties sol!anyways, as a lot of you may have heard beats by dre will no longer be aligned with monster cable. while reading about this i heard that the son of the dude at monster cable decided to launch his own headphone collection, using the same media mentality they used for Beats but at a much less price. and early reports are they are as good sound quality (of course this is debatable!) as the beats.the brand is sol republic, and they got a few famous people to get the name out there called the saviors of sound (similar to the beats marketing process)hate it or love it, it could be the next thing for haters to hatehttp://www.solrepublic.com/saviors-of-sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russell Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I seriously doubt the names they have down are gonna be using them in a DJ'n capacity like there marketing would lead you to believe. These people might be endorsing them but that doesn't make them any good for DJ purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolDios Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Cnet review for the regular ones. (Id rather pay the extra $30 for the pro's)The good: The Sol Republic Tracks headphones are light, fairly comfortable, and sport a durable design with a convenient interchangeable headband, detachable cordage, and an integrated microphone and remote control. They sound good, delivering deep bass, and are affordable at $99.The bad: The sound isn't terribly detailed, and the on-ear-design can rub certain ears the wrong way.The bottom line: If you're looking for Monster Beats-style sound at a more affordable price, the Sol Republic Tracks should be on your short list.We test a lot of headphones here at CNET, and the good ones tend to set you back more than $100. But a new headphone company, Sol Republic, is hoping to change that with a line of headphones that deliver very good sound and durability for a more affordable price.In case you're wondering what "Sol" stands for, it has nothing to do with the sun but is an acronym for "soundtrack of life." The company's founders have a good pedigree in the headphone business, and co-founder and CEO Kevin Lee is the son of Monster Cable founder Noel Lee, widely credited for driving the popular Beats by Dr. Dre line of headphones at Monster.The new line consists of two flavors of Amps in-ear headphones and two flavors of Tracks on-ear headphones that feature "swappable headbands, speakers, and cables in various colors and designs." The Tracks' headband also boasts a proprietary new polymer called FlexTech, which the company says makes the headphones virtually indestructible.Both the Amps and the Tracks have a built-in microphone for cell phone calls. The Tracks model reviewed here costs $99.99, while the higher-end $129.99 Tracks HD model will debut in late 2011.With their deep bass and aggressive sound, these headphones aren't for everyone (read: if you like well-balanced "natural" sounding headphones, these aren't a good fit), but if you're someone who likes a Beats-like sound, the Tracks certainly fit the bill--and cost less.DesignWhile the Tracks don't look anything like the $179 Beats Solo headphones by Dr. Dre from Monster, they're arguably spiritual cousins. They have the same on-ear design, which means these guys sit on top of your ears rather than completely enveloping them like the Monster Beats by Dr. Dreover-the-ear headphones.I found these headphones pretty comfortable, but they're not in the same league as Bose's OE2 on-ear headphones, which cost $179.99 with an integrated microphone and inline remote, and $149.99 without.I jury tested these with a few editors and one said the headphones just didn't sit quite right on his ears due to the angle of the headband, and the other said the fit was secure. Based on those anecdotal judgments, I'd say users will have mixed results on the level of comfort.Read more: http://reviews.cnet.com/headsets/sol-re ... z1joU2lIAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Beats are horrible for everything, dont do it. Beats Pros are decent but only worth about $130 real money. These dont look too good as well, as is generally the case with celebrity endorsed headphones. And dont take Cnet reviews on headphones seriously, especially when they compare them to Bose. I'd expect boomy, one note bass and muddy everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
