They're okay. I work at best buy, picked them up when they first came out. I've gone through a couple of pairs, my favorites were the white ones.
Really though, people look douchy walking around in them. I don't even wear mine anymore after just seeing people walk around in them. But if you really want em, 140 doesn't sound like a bad price.

solo HD or the original solos? the original solos in white will turn brown. Also they aren't as durable to justify a $140 price tag. You can get the solo Hd's for 150

No. Beats By Dre's have a horrible life span and quality.
I have owned, as well as purchased as a gift for loved ones; a pair of Solo HD's, Solo (Regulars), In ear buds and Studio's (the big one's) and all have failed miserably due to NORMAL use.
I say pass for some Sony's or a pair of Klipsch if they are in the range that you are willing to spend.
Save your money fam.

I have them... great headphones. I bought them for $200 after tax at BestBuy and normally wouldn't spend that much on headphones but I'm glad I did.
For $140 I wouldn't hesitate.

I've had a pair for over a year with almost daily use, and they are still working great.

I had a pair I bought from BestBuy and they stopped working after ~15 wears. Wasn't even used heavily, 3-4 each day for 5 days a week at work.

Yup. Was gonna post this. If you decide you want them, might as well cop them for 100 instead. My refurbished pair works perfectly...

^ I would guess the HD solos would have high definition sound but that's just a guess to be honest.

Recommend buying a warranty of you aren't gonna go with refurbished. I haven't had any problems with mine until I let my brother take them to the gym. Too lazy to exchange them for a new pair.

they seem like theyre just another poor quality over hyped item that is marketed like crazy.
also the fact that it is used as product placement EVERYWHERE, and i mean everywhere makes even think less of them.
even youtube stars getting paid to sport them.
nice hustle campaign by dre/iovine but you aint fooling me.

Thanks for the feedback.
They are the Solo HD. Im gonna end up swoopin em up. Got cash to throw around.
Some people have said durability is suspect but I'm really OC when it comes to my tech stuff. My white iPhone 4 is 7 months old and it still looks the same the day I got it.
Will be getting extended warranty.
