SOL Republic Tracks HD: compromise of good looks and sound

I own the SOL Republic now about 1 1/2 months and can not complain.
The high-quality appearance of the headphones catches with a slightly purple / gray (I would say) Aluminium setting on the sides, and the silver plastic frame and the headband in a beautiful glass look eye.
The headband, the ears and the cable are interchangeable. Thus, an individual design is guaranteed. Even the almost "indestructible" headband can be rotated / bend after Lust & Laune ...

For comfort: continuous Even after 2 hours listening to music I can not complain, they fit like they should and not suppressed.

Owners of Apple devices also have the option, the functionality of the 3-button remote control cable to
use. Although the built-in microphone picks up background sounds easy, but is still acceptable
and for me not important.

Now, of course, is also said something to the sound quality.

How are quite common on these "designer" -kopfhörern no information about the frequency, impedance, etc. available.
After my being subjective to judge the bass arrive pronounced what I in headphones this size (see. Solo HD by Dr. Dre) would not have expected. He brought heavy bass tracks for life, yet this is clear and not too intrusive. In addition, let me tell you the highs sound good, only the centers could sometimes more "shine" tolerated.

Overall, however, a beautiful sound, without the sound quality suffers from excessive bass.

Conclusion: strong buy recommendation! Ideal for traveling, I think a compromise between appearance and quality must always find, if you do not just want to move with studio headphones through the area.
