I’ve got a pair. Won on eBay, complete with receipt, for £70, and I really like them. These are the Solo HD’s, BTW.
There is, of course, a caveat; the sound quality, out of the box, is pretty lack-lustre, lots of bass, and not much top-end, so they sound pretty ‘wooly’, almost muffled.
However, there’s a way around that, which is why I bought them, and that’s using an EQ app, like the one I use to improve the missing bass on my Etymotic ER6i earphones.
With the app, the vocals regain all their sparkle and crispness, and a bit of a lift to the very lowest frequencies gives the bass more punch.
I love them, they fold up really neatly, they’re comfy for long periods of wear, and I particularly like that you can unplug the cable, and replace it for peanuts, and replace the earpads and headband padding.
Mine are black, and I’ve covered up the red ‘b’ on the earpiece as well, so they’re not too obtrusive.
The new Solo 2’s are supposed to have had the acoustic curve altered, in much the same way that EQu lets me tweak the sound.
I’d argue that now my Solos sound as good as an equivalent priced pair of B&W P3’s.
This is the curve I’ve set up in the app:
