  • Beats' most popular line of headphones is getting an update: following the Beats Solo 3 Wireless is the Beats Solo Pro, redesigned with sustainability, simplicity, and noise-canceling in mind. We at Digital Trends got some brief hands-on time with the Solo Pro - can this new pair of cans take down competitors like Sony and Sennheiser that currently sit at the top?

      Scotti Pimpin Probably, design is too personal thing to judge, and I agree that PX5 are not the best looking headphones on the market, but they at least don’t look worse than Beats and they have 3,5mm jack and USB-C charging. No 3,5mm on 300$ pair is hilarious, before Beats you couldn’t find headphones without mini jack port costing more than 99$.

    These headphones are amazing.
    There is one issue.
    These are not that comfortable for people who wear eye glasses. I feel pressure against my head making it slightly uncomfortable. Maybe my head shape is the reason I do not know.
    Maybe implement it in a prototype to where near the where the upper ear part of the foam is shaped to make it tolerably for people who wear glasses.
    When I have them off they feel great.

    Ugh we get it. For $300 you can get the sonys or another premium headphone, accessories, a car, a house, two boats, one plane, the deed to the white house, and basically all of Africa and still have around $269 to spare.
    If you can buy something cheaper.... just buy it then. It makes no sense to say you can buy something for alot cheaper but end up not buying it.

    • @Captainpigraven
      @Captainpigraven 4 роки тому +1

      That is the big question. These will have only been on the market for a few weeks come Black Friday. But Beats Solo went on sale last Black Friday for as much as $100 off. Granted, I think it was the second or third year those were out. Most Black Friday watch sites predict the Sony WH-1000XM3 could drop as low as $250 this year, with Bose 700 hitting $300.00. Assuming the sound on the Solo Pro doesn’t touch either, I’d have to think Beats will come down at least a little. Otherwise, why even bother with Beats at all, H1 chip or not?
      If you’re interested in a good deal for the Sony, you can get the Sony WH-1000XM3 for $250.00 usd on Ebay right now. They are new. You can grab refurbished for $200.00 usd.

    Where did you get this info from? Beats website never stated anything like this, I can’t experience any low power mode either. If you say something, make sure it’s 100% true.
    Also, why do you need 2 reviews of the same product? One in October and the other one in November. Why?

    • @aaronlavell6537
      @aaronlavell6537 4 роки тому +2

      Depends on your preference imo. From what I’ve seen watching these reviews, the Studios do have more bass over the solo pros, but the bass in the solos sounds much cleaner and therefore is much more enjoyable. But the Studios are over-ear headphones still, which is something that’s been a strong selling point for many people. Honestly, I think that if you don’t care for the whole on-ear vs. over-ear preference or having a headphone jack, go with the solo pros. They come with much more improved features, look way nicer, and are less than the studio 3s.

      It has nothing to do with innovation it’s about preferences

      Jesse Pinkman exactly some people would rather have over ear because of things like how they feel or the look personally I’d rather have over ear headphones instead of in ear

    Another piece of junk that doesn't even exceed SONY's good sound quality. Only fits when you do RnB but playing rock metals never equalizes or meet expectations for a hefty priced headphone. Apple is really pulling consumers to their cobweb of limited technology on products they offer from smartphones to headphones. Tim Cook is a smart CON MAN and too bad that there are consumers caught in the bait...

    “Sustainability”?! The sustainable thing to do is to not buy overpriced plastic crap like the headphones.
