BeatsSolo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones - Apple W1 Headphone Chip, Class 1 Bluetooth, 40 Hours of Listening Time, Built-in Microphone - Black

I recently purchased this for my daughter, and after hearing her input and trying them out myself, I’m impressed with their performance and design.Pros:1. Sound Quality: The bass is punchy and powerful, which is great for genres like hip-hop, EDM, or pop. The mids and highs are decent, though they might not satisfy audiophiles looking for perfect balance. For my taste, the mids and highs for Rock genre weren’t crisp and a touch flat.2. Battery Life: The battery life is phenomenal—up to 40 hours! My daughter only needs to charge them once or twice a week, even with daily use as a student while doing homework. Fast Fuel charging is a great option, giving 3 hours of playback with just a 5-minute charge.3. Design and Comfort: These headphones (silver) look sleek and modern yet not so large every head turns when you walk into a room. They’re lightweight and fit snugly. The foldable design makes them travel-friendly, easy to toss in a backpack or gym bag too.4. Connectivity: These pair seamlessly with our iPhones. The connection is strong, and switching between devices is effortless.Cons:1. Price: At the retail price, they seem a bit expensive for the sound quality you get. However, I got them during a sale, which made it worth it.2. Comfort for Long Sessions: While they’re comfortable for a couple of hours, extended use can make them feel a bit tight, especially if you wear glasses.Verdict:If you’re looking for stylish, bass-forward headphones with excellent battery life and solid build quality, the Beats Solo 3 are a great choice. Just keep in mind that they’re not the most comfortable for marathon listening sessions. Overall, I’m happy with the purchase and would recommend them, especially if you can get them on sale!

Pros: Sound quality, fast charging speed, long battery life, stylish design, will last for years, price, good for audiophiles and metalheads.Cons: First use pain but adjusts over time, stocked ear muff.I'm a long time beats fan. I needed a new replacement solo 3s since my old ones broke. These headphones are absolutely amazing!!! I would 100% recommend them. They're really loud, great sounding bass, and semi noise canceling. The quality on them is ok it's not bad I recommend replacing the ear muffs first they start to crinkle up after a 2 months. Durability wise they last for quite a while I've had mine for over 4 years and they are still working well and good shape and ionquality and still sound just as they was when I brought them. The beats charge really fast as well, they last for 48hrs, I use my beats for a whole day and it never goes pass the 3 light bar. I love the color the sleek black is stylish. They do squeeze your head when you first get them but you have to break them in for a while to get used to them. For people who wear glasses I can go about 8-12hrs a day until I feel pain from them squeezing with my glasses on, I recommend readjusting the glasses len arm a bit or the headsets and tht works wonders for me.

Beats**all coming from an airpods & airpods pro 2 user**Two notes about me:* I have a pretty average sized head & ears* I wear glassesThoughts:- Noise isolation is way better than people give credit for, works about as well as the active noise cancellation on my airpods pro 2.- I can FEEL the bass.- Can hear all kinds of details in music (like when I upgraded to airpods pro but slightly better than even those). The AirPods gen 2 did that for me, then the AirPods Pro 2 did it again, and now these are doing the same.- Electronic music sounds absolutely amazing. Better than any other headphones or speaker I’ve heard.- Classical sounds amazing—way better than AirPods Pro 2.- Folk sounds amazing, & it’s like someone’s playing a really high end guitar right next to me while also serenading me.- Piano also sounds especially amazing- Case is slightly padded, but leaves a lot to be desired there—they also barely fit (see pictures).- They feel durable, even at hinges (which shocked me).- They DO fingerprint easily, if that matters to you.- Box is very sleek & giftable.- Not having the automatic ear detection is really nice for when I lift one side up to hear someone or something.- They are more comfortable than AirPods Pro, even with memory foam ear tips on those. But they do get slightly annoying with glasses but there is a sweet spot where it’s not bad (if I angle the headband towards the back of my head instead of having it straight up and down). But it’s not so uncomfortable that I don’t want to use them. Merely a minor inconvenience.- I ever so slightly wish I could see the battery percentage on my phone while charging, but it’s not any real inconvenience.- The micro-USB charger is potentially going to be a slight inconvenience because they wear out—USB-C or a lightening cord would’ve been way better.- Pairing with an iPhone is extremely easy.- The included carabiner for the case is a nice afterthought, but it’s a super flimsy carabiner and the loop keeping it on the case is tiny and I wouldn’t trust it. If it were better sewn and had a bigger loop, that’d be fantastic. I CAN attach an aluminum locking carabiner, but it’s just barely big enough for that.- Charging seems pretty fast, and while I do wish it would show me the percentage while charging, I really appreciate seeing the percentage in the battery widget while connected because other non-apple Bluetooth headphones don’t have that and I’m left guessing how much is left on the tiny control center icon with those.In sum, I HIGHLY recommend these if you’re looking for good bluetooth headphones and don’t have $400+ to spend. I snagged them for $99.95, and I couldn’t be happier. They’re definitely a good value at $200, but they’re mind blowing at a part-time, minimum wage budget. Almost every feature has been either mind blowingly fantastic, but those that aren’t are barely worth commenting on.Are they perfect? No. Should one expect perfection at this price? Absolutely not. I’d highly recommend buying if they’re in your budget!!!
