The Soul Electronics SL300s are the flagship model of a line of headphones designed and curated by hip-hop artist Ludacris. With their active noise cancellation, fold-up design, and sexy features, these headphones are undoubtedly in direct competition with the Monster Beats by Dr Dre Studio. But there is an important difference between the two: you can still listen to music through the Soul headphones even if you don’t engage the powered isolation switch.
And with a handful of accessories like the hard-shell case and two detachable cables included for the same $300 price, we’re secure in recommending these headphones for ‘modern music’ enthusiasts with a sartorial edge.
