My Bose QC25s, which broke, required 70% volume compared to these Pro's 40-50%, and the noise-cancelling technology hurt my eardrums sometimes.

First of all they almost blew my eardrums, when i plugged them into my ipod touch i did not notice the volume was on high and boom

Studios (I hated that).I'd say if you love music as much as I do, forget Solo's and Studio's exist and skip right to Pros, best thing I've ever bought!

After listening for an hour or so, your ear will ache as if circulation is being cut off

I would highly recommend as they are the best purchase I have made in a long time.

My son loves these and wears them around his neck as a sort of teenage fashion accessory as well as for listening to music

However the emphasis on the low end implies that on some songs you will discover that the mids and highs get drowned out and dont sound as clear or crisp as they do on the Beats Studios or other DJ headphones
