How do these compare to the beats by dre studio wireless that were just released.. I am waiting for the combat+ wireless due to workout durability.

I bought these for my son and this is what he has to say, hope it helps... I am not familiar with the new model by Beats, however I do own a pair of the Beats studios. I like both of them, but for exercising and working out the Combats by SOUL are far superior. They compress to my head and never slip, which I would never get from the Beats. I have no second thoughts about taking my SOUL headphones out for a run, but I would never wear my Beats for anything but sitting around.

The soul combats don't have active noise cancelation but they still do a good job of blocking out noise.

No brainier there if you want to workout at all get the combats I can do any intense activity with them and the sound quality is great

I really couldnt tell you. All reviews I read on Soul were positive and I am very happy with them. They are perfect for working out, they stay on when running or sprinting, the pads dont absorb sweat, they are light, and not bulky like some peoples I have seen at the gym. The wire does not bother me. I never never wanted get caught with the battery running out or not being charged. I just run the cord through my shirt. Work fine.Hope this helps.

It's nothing like Dr. dre beats! My kids use them ( they are 7) and for the price u can beat them. The bass is ok but if ur Looking for headphones to asenuiate the bass these are not it.

I have had the DR DREI Beats when they first came out and they fell apart and I ddint like em. and then got the Bose ie1 and with the foam tips the bass and all is very good. they sound much beter than the DR drei beats and the Boss IE1 I dont know how they compare to the Boss IE 2 but. they are thgew best sounding pair Iv had so far. but I notice a big difrence with the foam tips, and I plan to up grade the cable hope that will give them even beter bass . I hope this was of some help. I do recamend these they live up to there claim just keep the tips in mind.

They're super light and comfortable, but the sweat trapped under them would bother me. I always use ear buds personally. In terms of comfort, though, these beats would be completely comfortable to work out with.

beats are fragile and break often. Razer forged has about the same bass and is very well build. I tried beats , bose and razer. other than it being a bit heavy at the beginning, razer is the best one i tried so far. after a month or so i got used to the weight and don't even notice it. definitely go for it. Pluse, youtube it.

The sound is above normal headphones, better than beats, very crisp clean sound. Once you put them one you won't take them off. The reason I even took the time to write a response is enough said haha, well worth it. In sound there is no headphones that can match it. Period.

These headphones are much thicker and heavier than Beats studio/solo headphones, there is no audio control on the wire like Beats headphones, no Bluetooth either. As for how they will stay on your head if you ran around, I'm sure they will slip off. So, sitting on a flat bench knocking out some bench press - they should be ok. Cycling, they should be ok, running on thread mil - not ok. Also, I'd expect the sweat to stay in your ear - they do hug the ears well.

Hey Nancy, I find the fit very comfortable but these are definitely not as sleek on the head as Beats ... Sony is more like "old school" audiophile headphones ... big with lots of cushion to seal all around the ears. So it just depends on your taste. Dr Dre Beats are probably the best for new style with good quality sound ... but they rest on the ear, not all the way around like the Sony's do. -Hope that helps!

I haven't used Beats, but I play drums with these for 2 - 3 hours and I hardly know they're there. I don't expect the sound pattern would be the same, however as Sennheisers go for tonal balance and don't exaggerate bass.

Sure, we purchased other headphone and they were not the sound or duablity we were hoping for. The Beats By Dre sound great and have been durable in the first 30 days of use.

Beats isn't really good. They sound muddy and is not worth $300. When you buy the beats, you're pretty much paying for the brand, not the sound quality. But the beats do have good bass. And they do look great.On the other hand, the bose 15 has better sound quality, clarity, and amazing noise cancellation. The bose are smaller and weight less then the beats. You can wear bose for hours. That's how comfy they are. The beats start to hurt your ears after about an hour. In my opinion I kinda like how the bose 15 look. It all comes done to this: looks or sound quality.

Yes and yes. I have been using the same pair for my workouts for about 2 years now without any damage. They work just as well as the first day I bought them. I'd give them a 10 in terms of durability, a 10 for their functionality, and a 6.5-7.0 for sound quality (they are for casual listening, not studio monitors).

yes they are! if you see reviews on YouTube there's lots of old reviews on the older beast saying that they break easily..the new beats however are made with different material that's very resistant..technically "unbreakable"you WILL get the latest model

I purchased these during my last deployment in 2011. I use them constantly.. as in up to 8-20 hours a day since I'm a bit hard of hearing and do a lot of gaming/watching movies on my computer (I'm disabled now). These... are... amazing.... so much better than the beats crap I bought before them.

Great headphones for the price. Skip the beats. Guarantee that they'll break within a year. Beats are overpriced overhyped headphones with poor durability.

hi, its been a few months so maybe you already got these or something else? I just tried dancing in these today and they held up ok. The freedom is amazing..but I haven't cut totally loose with these yet. I started but then popped a shoe lace. So, after I get a new lace I will see how far these buds can hang with me & hopefully update this. Thanks. p.s. audio quality and volume are like higher-end buds. Im running these with a Cowon X7. Update: ====== the cord connecting the ear buds is sticky, even on sweaty skin to some extent but enough to throw these when really throttled up. To fix that I clipped the cord to my hair in back. Now I can spin my hair flat and top it, too, without any problem with these buds. I pushed it past where I normally would have lost regular ear buds also, and they work fine. The trick is keeping that cord off your back and getting those ear tips right (those triangle shaped things that fit on the ear buds). Its an awesome device, very well thought out. If I could change anything though I would add a grove on the ear buds so that the ear tips dont slip down the ear stalk. A set of ear buds, regardless of who makes them, lasts me about month, and my record is about 3 months. So, time will tell how sweat proof they really are. Overall, I am extremely happy with these so far, extremely because they weren't just a replacement but so far an improvement. Good luck.

Good morning,I went from cordless Beats by Dre headphones to these. The Motorola S-11 are extremely comfortable and adjust to fit perfectly. Great product. My Beats by Dre used to wobble or fall off my head when running.
