Our Verdict

Sennheiser HD 600

Beats Solo Pro Wireless

The Sennheiser HD 600 and the Beats Solo Pro Wireless have different strengths, and you may prefer one over the other. The Sennheiser over-ears are designed for audiophiles. They're more comfortable, have a neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer, and have a wider, more immersive passive soundstage. However, the Beats are wireless on-ears that are better built and have great noise isolation, thanks to their ANC system. They also have an H1 chip, so you can seamlessly pair them with Apple devices.
