Their Active, I suppose. Kind of like the difference between Active and Passive monitors?

Just a guess.

I would think that they could use higher quality speakers if they were powered.

I mean, there are better headphones out that don't use them, from my understanding. So I can only guess that it's for the pumped up bass tones. Then again, I haven't really looked into them.

But they have audio cable, which is enough for other headphones work. :unsure:

Right.

But the output of these headphones is limited to the output of the source. In other words, passive speakers can't play any louder than the headphone jack feeds out. Beats have amplification, they can be set to a louder volume than other headphones.

I also understand that they have built in sound-cancelling circuitry. I would have to look more into that to know whether or not that's electrical noise or what.

EDIT: I think I get what you're saying now. You mean why can't they work in passive mode? Like, why can't you listen to them without the batteries if you choose? I would guess that it's because they have the circuitry routed in such a way that without a live battery, the circuit is broken.

Ok, well the Original Beats will not work without batteries. They have to have batteries to work, due to the way they are designed.

They need batteries because of the noise cancellation, the solo doesn't have that option so they don't need it.

If you're willing to spend that much money on a pair of headphones I'm sure you can afford some batteries lol.
