Surprised about the solo pro. Picked one up in the spring for night-time listening in bed and love them.

Beats Solo Pros have decent reviews.

You're - of course - welcome to dislike them.

The Beats Solo Pro were a pretty decent product, although the clamping force and on-ear nature could make it uncomfortable after not long.

I hope this means an improved version is coming.
