Wired Wednesday – Sol Republic

So this past week as you may know the Winter Music Conference was intown. Heavy on the promo run was the Sol Republic headphone crew and they sponsored a few events one of them happened to be the More Belve Music Lounge. While taken pics and passing out my cards the guy was like hey yall do those reviews dont ya? I was like yea we’d be glad to review your product. The 1st thing that caught me was the low price, 100 bucks aint bad and makes these one of the cheaper headphones out there. Now unlike other low cost head phones these aren’t low quality. This is a product primarily geared towards people who will listen to rock/pop/hip-hop on their phones and laptops and iPods, and aren’t obsessively concerned with an ultra-realistic representation of sound. That’s not to say that the sound quality of these should be dismissed; the clarity of the Tracks headphones is wholly respectable. It’s not always quite as warm and full as a more expensive pair of headphones, but they tend to pick up many of the same details in the mids and highs nonetheless. The Tracks are hardly going for a flat sound signature either. On average, basslines sound pretty nice, with a warm resonance., But when the volume is turned up and the kickdrum hits especially hard in a song, the bass can get a little punchy. On average, I’d say the sound is on the bright side, and which will make things sound a bit more vivid than they were originally recorded.
