I bought these to replace of a set of solo hd's after hearing them in the store. They are the best sounding beats with a coverage of the mids and highs much more so than the solo and the Studio set which I also own. The bass is great on the Mixr's but not overpowering like the solo or the studios which are mega bass when you compare directly. I always start with the mixrs and they are the one I take with me to listen casually when I travel. When I am at home and am listening to music or gaming I use the solo's because of the comfort. The Studio's just collect dust now. The Pro's are in a different league and only really shine when amplified.
Pro's:
Best sound of the beats series. Good design of the ear tilting for ease of removing one side away from ear. Great for short term listening. My first set, mind you, that I always grab from the arsenal for short listening periods. The sound truly is a huge step up when listening. Example: I had the mixr's on listening to music on my laptop on the sofa at home and heard a song I wanted to share with the wife. There are two headphone ports on the PC she grabbed the solo's and put them on. She was rockin out and I said here listen to my new mixr's. SHe put them on and her eyes pooped out of her head in disbelief of the sound performance increase. Her comment was these ones are mine now.
Cons:
They are too tight. *see revision below. They start to hurt after longs periods of use. The comfort goes to the solo and studios.
Conclusion:
It seems to me that each set has it's own niche for different usage and all have substantially different sound. If you want the best sound the mixr's are it. If you have a skinny head you may not have as big a problem as I have. I am a 6' 200 pound man. I would say that the headphones are good for about an hour then I am motivated to grab the solo's for continued listening.
Revision about Comfort:
I have put these headphones on a large sofa arm to stretch the head band. To my surprise IT WORKS! IT WORKS WELL. It took a few days of using them then keeping them stretched really good overnight and after a few days they are quite comfortable and have stretched out and seem to be staying that way. Now five star headphones. They are all I use and all I would want in a headphone. now.
