Monster and rapper Dr. Dre are back with a new set of headphones for audiophiles called the Beats by Dr. Dre Beats Solo. The headphones are an on-ear set that retail for about $220. The headphones are considered the entry level Beats set.

The Beats Solo headphones have a ControlTalk cable that allows the user to control all the aspects of their music and still answer calls with the iPhone 3GS. The headphones are also compatible with the iPod. The special cable has a mic, answer button, and allows changing of tracks without having to touch the iPod.

The control talk cable is being made as an option on all Beats headphones offered from Monster. The headphones will launch in November 2009 in black or white versions.
