Returned Soul SL300 by Ludacris for Beats Studios

How Often Used:3-5 times a week
Being a frugal person that I am, I surprised myself when I purchased these headphones. Totally an impulsive buy!! Being the music lover that I am, I wanted to step out on a limb and get some nice headphones. Initially I purchased the Soul SL300 by Ludacris. I went with those honestly to be different and because they will still work even with dead batteries unlike the Beats. Coming from your cheap $5 headphones, they sounded GREAT. But I like my music (rap/hip hop) LOUD. And honestly I wanted some headphones I had to LOWER the volume on because they are TOO loud. Kinda makes me feel like I got my money worth.
Return the Soul SL300. Enter the Beats by Dre Studios. Sure they are very attractive headphones but I miss the cushion I had on the SL300s. Still the Studios are comfortable to wear. The sound (especially the BASS) was a little noticeably deeper than the SL300. I've read reviews about the highs and mids on the Studios not being as good as they are on the SL300 but to me they sound just as good. Overall the sound was louder than the SL300. Keep in mind, I've only listened to rap with the Studios thus far. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and I would recommend these to true music lovers. Also if you're considering other Beats, I like these better than Solos because they fit OVER your ears rather on top of them. The noise cancellation is good not the BEST I've heard but overall good. I tried on some Bose headphones in BB and sounded like I was wearing ear plugs!! Amazing noise cancellation on Bose headphones.
Last, these headphones were essentially designed for Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod). I tried some Solos on my Android (HTC Thunderbolt) phone and they SUCKED TERRIBLY!! I tried those same headphones on an iPhone 4 and they sound DRAMATICALLY better. With the Studios, they sound just as great on my iPad as they do on my Samsung Galaxy S3. Maybe a little better on my iPad. Stil they sound good on the my Android phone. I listen to my music via Pandora 99% of the time.
Sorry for the long review but detailed reviews certainly help me so I hope someone finds this review helpful in making their decision. All in all, you can't go wrong with either the SL300 by Ludacris or the Beats by Dre Studio with the Studios holding a slight advantage, IMO.
Last but not least, I work out in these headphones so I DO sweat a little in them. Hasn't been a problem. Get the two protection plan for the added security to protect your investment.
What's great about it: Sound...enough said
What's not so great: Expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!
