Scio_Me_ScireNot the same target. K7XX is open meaning it does not isolate AT ALL.
The K7XX has a better sound quality but this one is better on the go.

Scio_Me_ScireI used to own a pair of the Beats HD Solo's - Literally the worst headphone I have ever owned. Please please please do not give Beats money. They were made of sh!t plastic, rattled like you would expect from a product made of said sh!t plastic, the hinges broke, AND they sounded TERRIBLE. Oh yea, and they were uncomfortable.

Scio_Me_ScireBeats solo or Solo 2? Big difference. The Solo 2 don't deserve the hate they get based on the old beats . At retail the solo 2 is a bit to pricey, on sale they are ok. I had a pair from a Black Firday sat @ $96. I wouldn't buy the original solo for music listening.
I've owned both, the Solo2 isn't that bad, High are a bit rolled off and mids/vocals are a bit recessed and it has LOTS of bass. Bass is exaggerated but not as bad as beats once was. They are ok for on the go or gym. I enjoyed music out of my K553 more.
The K553s highs aren't rolled off like the Solo 2 but not to bright either. The mids are nice and present and the bass extends fairly deep. There is no where near as much bass as the Solo 2, but it has a very nice quality to it. You have to make sure you get a good seal and have to play with positioning on you head until you find it. IF not the bass will be almost non-existent.
These (K553) where $119.99 last year or so when I got them on Massdrop. At this price these are an excellent low cost headphones.
Where the beats win is in size and portability. They are much easier to carry around as they are small, light and fordable.
