I bought the Beats by Dre Solos back in March, and they just broke last week. The sound quality is really good, especially the bass, even if the highs are a bit muted. I use them for everything, from producing, to just listening to music and they bump. Make sure to keep your receipt because you can have them replaced for free (which what I'm doing), in the event that they do break. Also, I believe that they fixed the type of plastic used in the headband so that they are more durable than the ones I bought (mine had really brittle plastic and snapped). If you have the money, the studios have noise cancelling but require a battery. They are also more comfortable as they go over the ear, the on-ear solos will make your ears sore after a while. I bought the Solos because I didn't have the money, but they have the SAME EXACT sound quality, so it boils down to personal preference and money.
