Are the Beats Solo 3 Wireless worth it in 2024? In this video, I'll share my honest review.
I bought these headphones brand new with my own money, nobody paid me to say the feedback I give in this video. I own enough headphones to know what I'm talking about.

Read the UPDATED Beats Solo 3 Review (2024) here: recordingnow.com/blog/beats-solo-3-wireless-an-honest-review
Who watching before they get a pair... like u already ordered them and waiting for them to come in😭😭
Devin Harris me and it says 2-4 weeks ahhh 😞😩
I wouldn't even bother even talking a glimpse at these because they have no noise cancelling no ambient mode. And plus they are on ear headphones so don't be expecting them to be comfortable. They are also not a balanced headphone at all. From my own research I have found(before watching this video) the bass is pretty heavy making the mids sound muddy and making the highs sharp more noticeable at night volumes. the studios are not any better because there Noise cancelling is no where near the competition in that price range of 350 dollars. And the new beats solo pros are uncomfortable because of the amount of clamping force and the ear pads. And the noise cancelling can cause alot of cabin pressure as well. I'm not going to go deeper into other headphones but if u want a good pair of headphone type I highly suggest are over ear because they are just of a more comfortable design(because of the ear cups). The over headphones I suggest are the Microsoft surface or the sony Xb-900n if u are looking for something under $300. these are 250 dollar headphones(the surface are 350 but there are a lot of discounts now) but if u want to spend a bit more its more worth it.

This was actually a nice review. That color is actually so dope.
Much appreciated and agreed! I originally just got the gold for review purposes but it's very clean in person
SMD23 Agree. I hope there was a gold and black one tho :( white earcups usually get dirty after months, if not weeks, of use
SMD23 my mom said that color was girly so I got the black ones
Dark Young Knight Blood
TheGoldenBoy TGB lmfao you listen to your momma when buying headphones means your girly af
Sometimes, I believe the Beats haters were the early adopters of the original generation when it was owned by Monster. The originals sounded like trash cans, and I remember hearing them first hand, and they sounded horrible. But when I demoed the Solo 3's, they have definitely improved in quality. Apple done good, but still overpriced.
mine broke within 2 months (the battery failed) and I got a full refund very easily which indicates that there were more issues with the battery 🤷🏽♀️
im buying it for the vibe honestly. and i dont think there's anything wrong with that
I got mine for free because i bought a mac and i used my student discount. $100 of macbook pro and new $300 headphone
Moheb The Hero same
Emiliano Campuzano
Same.
I already had the 2017 MacBook Pro but the deal was so good I bough a cheap small 2017 MacBook just to have these for free.
Norman Sigurðursson you could've just bought the headphones for cheaper...
FPS Wolf Airsoft
Yeah, I could've.
But now I have a small MacBook I can carry around with no problem.
Moheb The Hero Lol where did u get a MacBook pro for 100 dollars
2020 your review is still saving lives.!! The UA-cam Community Appreciates You Soo Much Bro.! I know I do.💪🏾💯
Listening to this with my beats solo 3 😂😂
찌빈병맥 same here 😂
찌빈병맥 I have them and they hurt my head :/
@@qxpn9220 yh they are so uncomfortable
Fish Eyes the thing is you can’t lay down with them I’m better off walking while wearing them it sucks
찌빈병맥 same 😂 😂
just got these yesterday. rode around on my bike for about 3 hours with no issues, music sounded amazing. and of course other company's have some better headphones but beats are more for the style and quality you get in one rather than one or the other. I think they are fucking dope
you've got the best headphone reviews man...... I don't why people and even MKBHD keeps on dissing beats so much
I appreciate that bro!! This isn't aimed at anyone specifically, but a lot of these "tech reviewers" don't really know anything about audio. *They read online, I listen.* I actually saw one review where a guy listened to these headphones for less than 1 minute and made his judgment (/facepalm) I think people need to listen to these in-depth for at least a couple hours before forming an opinion, not just parroting what people were saying 2 years ago... /rantover
Shivam bansal well I don't know about mkbhd he gave a pretty fair and unbiased review in my opinion
MKBHD disses the price of the Beats. He talks about the marketing costs, packaging costs and so on which raise the price. And that price is acceptable, as they do put in a lot of time and effort into the mentioned areas. He keeps comparing them to AT which doesn't do much advertising, and marketing and this helps them to keep costs down.
And some people just plain hate on Beats. ODI's reviews, you can see are the culmination of listening, and his own thoughts about the product, rather than following others reviews.
Shivam bansal because they cost more than they should and break. I've owned 5 pairs. Love the design, love the bass, just not built good enough.
I got mine for 150 dollars that's a steel, I love them. So glad I got them instead of airpods
Should've bought audio technicas instead
Do you still think they are better than AirPods? I have AirPods but I am getting these for my birthday and wanna know what I’m getting myself into
@@aaronzaffiroYeah they have held up pretty well. Everything works just as well as when I first got them, but I do need to get new ear-muff covers, so keep in mind that you may have to replace the covers. My dad has air-pods and these things have outlived them. One of his air-pods don't even charge anymore.
I used to hate beats, then I got the solo 3 wireless, I’m totally converted. Although sound quality is my top priority, I hate the way other headphones look. The sound of these headphones is still AMAZING and It really comes down to nitpicking when trying to compare it to similar models. Highly recommend these beats.
Okay yes I use the same one Beats Solo 3 but I listen to Ariana Grande a lot and it sounded really muffled but the bass was good
Ariana Grande's fan acc if you use an iPhone go to settings-music-EQ and try bass reducer or vocal booster and tell me if it helps
@@nickimuva218 beats are really for hip hop and edm for the bass
I had the chance to try out the Beats Solo 2 (Wireless) from a classmate and I was really impressed. Not by the headphones perse, but how much Beats have improved. I would not mind owning a pair as they are cool looking, sound pretty good and are portable! The thing is though, everyone nowadays still hates Beats. It left an open wound on the brand that may never heal. Wearing a pair will make people think you are stupid and that's unfortunate. For those wondering, I did a direct comparison with the Sony MDR-1a's. (MDR-1a's still win by far in every aspect, but I am just being honest.) Beats Solo 2/3 has it's customers. People who care about portability and style and like to listen to everyday music. I see no problem with that, especially now that the prices are decent.
Dante whats good bro! Your assessment is definitely in line with mine. They are a fun, stylish, extremely portable headphone with 40 hrs of battery life. They definitely will find their way into people's hands, and judging by all the positive reviews on Amazon, the market seems to be accepting them pretty well so far. If these drop to below 200 like I predict by the end of the year then they're going to sell like hotcakes. Thanks for watching and commenting as always btw!
Great review, I like how you explained everything and showed that a pair of headphones isn't all just about the sound quality. For a lot of people they can't even tell the difference between the lows/mids/highs/treble/balance etc etc... Majority just want clear sound with nice bass.
You forgot to mention though, it has quick charge capabilities with only 5 minutes of charging can get you 3 hours of juice. As someone always on the go that is a LIFESAVER, I absolutely love these headphones and I'm coming from someone with lots of experience with AudioTechnica, Sony, Bose etc.
4:45 just playing with like $1200 worth of headphones
GladiatorGaming *350$ headphones* way off

Is anyone else watching this with solo 3’s 😂
Yup
Yea.....

Mrere
@Manii ASMR no
Great review! You really took the time to actually use them, instead of just saying they are bad, just because they are beats. I'm going to buy these today, for $229.
Thank you for the review!
Awesome, think you're gonna love em! I actually have been using them everyday as my gym headphones and I can't ask for anything more really. Great sound w/ my iPhone and the battery life is crazy
You mean $300?
damn 223 don't do that to yourself
kushfrom handsworth agreed
I love my Studio 3’s, Solo 3’s, Beat X’s and Power Beats wireless.
In 2019 they are cheap 😍
Exactly. No longer $300 mark. Only $90 bucks. Finally priced to their value ...
They are like 290 £
@@fish2147 I just bought them for USD$90 in November and saw them again for USD$115. I would never pay 300GPB for them... regular price when not on sale is listed at amazon US$199. but they always go on sale.
Cheaper in 2020!
Oscar hanzely I brought one 2 days ago for 250£
So since I’m going to college in like two weeks I needed a laptop so I went to grab a MacBook from apples website and I was pleased to find apple throws in one of these headphones in for free:)
the solo 3 is the first pair of beats I have had. I really enjoy them. The sound is great and battery life is outstanding. They charge really quickly and I have zero complaints. The 30 foot range is understated, I can roam my entire house and not lose signal or have them cut out.
Yup! Agreed. They just work flawlessly.
Yeah maybe Beats improved quality-wise, but so did the competition. The reason why I don't like Beats personally is that value-wise, there are a lot of brands that have way better products for less bucks (B&O, Xiaomi, Audiotechnica, Sony, Bose, 1more etc.)
Idk my previous wireless earphones were Sony,Beats are way better. Comfier and looking a tons cooler.
Can the Solo 3 connect to my iPhone 6s the same way it did on the video/with an iPhone 7 (W1 Chip)?
najim ahmed yes I can confirm they do as I own an iPhone 6s and the solo3.
najim ahmed yes
yep, they do if you have latest version update.
Yes, I have an Iphone6, works great
Nick Ruble thanks
I have to say Beats headphones use to be trash, i been using them for a long time. From 2013 till now they not trash no more. They are good now because they sound better. I have Beats Studio 2013 and it sound good, the comfort just the worst i try. I still like the Bose QC35 better
Agreed, I still use the Beats Studio Wireless daily for the gym. Pretty decent, they work well for me.
***** Yeah it's a good headphone but the comfort is bad. My ears touch inside the ear-cups all the times. I contact Beats on Twitter and they say Beats Studio 3 will fix that. I hope so
Beats actually mentioned the Studio 3.0 to you?? I'm pretty anxious on its release. I know it's going to be good coming from Apple
They say the next Beats Studio but off course people will call it 3rd Gen or Beats Studio 3 since it's the 3rd Beats Studio. I'm just hopping the ear-cups doesn't touch my ears and feel more comfortable. It will be good but the price will probably start at $400 and maybe $480 for the wireless. Apple probably raise the price since the Beats Solo 3 start at $300. The price should drop couple months later like the Beats Solo 3 now $220 on Amazon
Tech1Tv, dude the quality is about the worst you can get compared to the other headphones in it’s price range.
Great review, thorough and fair, not just some review of how they look and smell out of the box, you pointed out many points in which people wanted to know about
I just bought a pair yesterday **travis scott voice** *ITS* *LITT!!!* 🤙🔥
Cringe
This review is amazing. Mainly because this guy didnt just bash the beats like everyone else. He actually gave them a chance and wasn't biased at all
Did Dr. Dre actually do anything for any of the generations of the headphones?
Just got a pair. Love them
Best review i've seen on these so far.. thanks! Looking forward to buying my first beats wireless headphones :o)
I purchased this exact model this morning and I haven't taken 'em off. They are of absolutely astounding sound quality and clarity. I'm returning to all of my old Zeppelin, The Who, Queen, etc...
Excellent review! I love the looks. You have the best reviews on UA-cam
Agreed

I bought my Rose Gold Beats Solo 3’s on November 26th 2018 and I paid the $300 for them
I don’t get why everyone is hating on beats their amazing
Facts
@@Jordan-kj4se some are amazing but most of them blow
Coz they used to be overpriced crap
BeatBuy currently has them on sale for $130... in case anyone is watching today.
Gio Dominguez that’s why I’m here watching 😂😂😂😂
i got them for $130 in satin silver
The main thing I look for in headphones is that ppl can’t hear the music I play when I play it fairly loud. Are beats good with this/ sound isolating??
Yes they are
they can block some sound but if u play loud music it can leak i would reccomend solo pros
@@rubywebb870 yea I got some I can cut the silent mode on and off.
im getting these today in this colour!!! so excited
I agree with the review on beats. While I don't like them as much as my audio Technica at m50x's, I have tried them and I agree with what you a said. No hype :)
THANK YOU! Rock on
ODi Productions No. You rock on!
\m/
ODi Productions lol
I tried the Studios, and while they don’t have the same bass as the Solos (they actually slightly lack in the bass), they are much better sculpted. They remind of the m40/50x a LOT.
Beats Solo 3s were only $99 during the 2021 Black Friday Holiday Season & THAT was more the price worth buying so of course I grabbed one. I already have the Beats Studio 2 so I can't wait to compare the two.
The leather ear covering totally wears out within a year, looks really bad and apple don't or won't fix it.
I liked this video a lot. Very well explained 👌🏻 I got these exact headphones 🎧 for Christmas today. But In Rose gold 😍😍😍😍 I love them 😍 first pair of wireless headphones 😊😊😊😊
I still have my Beats Executives, should I upgrade?
Fist The Clit depends on taste. for me solo 2's are better but I think you'd like studio 2's or pros. but the executives aren't so bad
Yeah you might like the Studio Wireless because they're over-ear, and they're going for a fair price now. That would be a logical upgrade IMO.
Upgrade it to studio 3 or solo3
I got my solo 3 a week ago and I love them ! I wanted a cool looking, wireless,Apple connected headset,not to go inside my ear cuz I hate that,not to be over the ear,cuz I don’t wanna look like an alien walking down the street,and I don’t like noise canceling,bc I get the feeling too detached from my surroundings.And I found a super awesome Club Navy color Beats solo 3 ,to match my also super fashionable Jack1T 😎 and loving it !
Thanks for the link to get these beats at a lower cost! I almost bought these at $299 at Best Buy originally! I'm so excited! I want these so bad because I'm a dancer and I want dance wireless, a dancers dream:) if anyone has this beats, can you tell me your opinion on them before I buy?
Thanks y'all☺️
I've been using these in the gym daily for about 2 months now and they're perfect IMO. Lightweight, wireless, and gets nice and loud.
I’ve had my beats solo 3 for a whole year now and they work fantastic
Hey guys I wan't to speak for everyone about my experience with Beats. I have bought the solo 3 and I owned them for a week and I must say they are pretty good for anyone looking for on ear headphones. I'm a student and I love music. I'm not an audiophile but I'm very picky with sound. I must say the sound, clarity and bass are really good with the solo 3. Someone looking for the best wireless on ear headphones that is it. However if you are looking for the best wireless headphones, there's better. I tried the bose qc35 in stores and I personally like it. Sound is very clear but not exactly as bassy but still good bass. Quality is the same as Beats anyone looking for truth and that's not a bad thing they are both really good quality and they don't feel all that cheap honestly. My only complaint is the hinges on the beats feel a little weak at first but I'm sure they hold up well. Personally I like the sound of them equally but a little more for the Beats. THEY sound great and that bass really ain't overpowering but very nice with lots of modern day music. They have incredible battery and I must say they felt uncomfortable at first but they got more comfy the more I wore it and at my last day I would say they left comfy enaugh for 2 hours with no issues. I exchanged them for the studio's because I don't need so much battery, I don't travel much and I have at most 2 hour listening sessions and then do something else. I got the studios because they do have slightly better sound in my opinion but one thing to keep in mind that the noise cancellation in it may be uncomfortable for others just like the Bose but you get used to it. There is a tiny noise bc of that noise cancellation on the Studio but it's not anything that would bother you and they blend in with songs so you don't notice it. Bass is good and clarity is pretty good too. I would say if you are not traveling in airplanes or long hours in general or you like modern music the beats Studios are the best choice for price since they are 320$ canadian where I got it and the bose are an insane 450$ canadian. Trust me when I say the studios have enaugh battery especially if you have the updated studio wireless, to know if you have that one it had a white box and buttons for volume are not in the center but exactly like the solo 3 those have even better battety life than the older studios and I must say better quality in many ways and much more clean with wires and package. I don't recommend the bose unless you go travel a lot because compared to the studios, battery and better noise cancellation is all you getting and for most people it is overkill trust me. Sound is similar but bose have a tiny more clarity but less bass but less louder also and can irritate your ears since the noise cancellation is powerful. Solo 3 are perfect if you workout a lot and are on a budget but also don't need that extra sound quality. I could say that the solo are more comfortable on top of your head but studio have better more comfy sized earcups. I say if you need extra noise cancellation bc you live in busy areas the Studio does the trick but if you live in less obnoxious places go for the solo 3. I don't recommend trying the studios in stores bc they usuallt have the older models not the new wireless ones unless you see that they are the new ones. Bose is really good too but you pay extra for things you don't need unless you travel and or absolutely need that noise reduction which beats does very well already.. Note: all ears are different so things can change so make sure you buy your product where you can return it in case you wanna try couple of them.
HyGate can you edit this comment short !! Because I don't like to read news papers pufff
I was skeptical when I first got my Solo 3s, but I didn't dislike them and I didn't have another wireless headset, so I started using them right away. They are very good headphones, I must say, despite the fact that Apple has a say in it now. They are very comfortable on my head. I wear a pencil behind my ear all the time and it's barely noticeable even with the headphones on. The bass is very good, but if I feel like listening to high pitched K-pop, I can do that too.
I've always liked having them, but I didn't realize just how great they were until I left them at home for a day and had to use the wired earbuds I anyways carry in my pocket. I had always liked those too, never had a problem with them. But after so long of exclusively using the Solo 3s, the sound quality of my earbuds was noticeably, audibly, annoyingly terrible. I haven't used those once since that day. Always the Beats.
There is one problem I have with them, and that is their built-in microphone. Whenever I use it for a phone call, the outcry person says that they can barely hear me, even if I make sure to speak loudly. For such expensive headphones, I really expected better mic quality. It should be built specifically for picking up audio from a considerable distance, considering you do need to wear them on your ears to use them for their intended purpose.
Overall I do love my Beats, even being the Apple hater that I am, especially because they are some of the only headphones I can comfortably wear with a pencil behind my ear.
👍 An honest review. Love the video
Much appreciated man!!
K I need advice, I'm planning on getting beats. Where I live the solo 3 are around $320 while the solo 2 are $100 less. Are the solo 3 worth the extra 100?
omg i was randomly watching these vid and i saw this one is on my bday
Should I buy these or bose soundlink over ear ? I listen mainly to pop songs , people say that bose sound boring because it lacks bass what do you think guys ?😥😥😥
I actually love this video so much!! Keep it up you just earned a subscriber! ☺☺
Muuch appreciated and welcome!
Hi! I bought mine solo 3 wireless about 2 months ago and from the beginning they worked perfectly but now every time I want to listen music I have to reset them while charging or reset the phone and they connect. It's kinda annoying, any help guys?
JBL and Beats are my favorite Bluetooth headphones and speakers.
Yeah same lol I have beats solo 3's and jbl charge 3, love both of them🤙

apple watch series 4
bose ultracomfort
or custom black airpods
Awesome review, I can tell you take your time for the best production quality! I still dig my Solo3 mainly for two reasons: it sounds better in wireless mode, and the sound quality with Apple's AAC codec is totally uncompressed especially with iTunes/Apple Music. I love the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless in wired mode ironically enough but even with aptX on my Mac the sound is too compressed to my ears for me to enjoy it. Most headphones with AAC support should provide similar results but the wireless quality/range/strength on the Solo3 are as perfect as possible in today's market.
Gotta love technology! Thanks for the valuable input Michael, good to hear a qualified opinion. I'm amazed by how loud I can turn up the Solo 3s and they still sound perfectly clear
See I listen to music basically 24/7 and that’s not an exaggeration. I picked some up a few months ago and they were absolutely fantastic. I was floored. But after about 2 weeks the left ear cup went out. I take care of my headphone especially for such a big price point. I would love to pick some more up so do you think I should or try another company? I love these things but I can’t be breaking a pair every other week . What do you think ?
Nooooo!!!!! I just purchased beats studio wireless and then you tell me that the 3'rd ones are coming out this year! 😭😭😭😭😭
F- fire studio is better
Yep all your missing out is the battery life
The black version is already $199 on Amazon!👍
Um do these beats connect to iPads and all iPhones?
just like the Airpods
Commander Irai yes they do =)
They connect 2 androids n windows phones 2.U could connect them 2 every device which has bluetooth.
Cameron Brown he was just asking
Well, kind of. It connects to all devices iOS 10 and above. iPhone 4s's and older won't work. All other devices work though
Yes
i bought these, ive had them for id say 5 months now. im a avid music listener and watch alot of videos on my phone. i love them :) only thing is girls watch out for smeared makeup and clean them once in a while to keep them looking fresh. take care of them and you wont have issues. i also use a Samsung device. The Bluetooth works amazing. I also wear glasses while wearing these and it can become a bit uncomfortable on the ear. However i do adjust my glasses and it works so i can use them for hours. At the gym they are great as well. The battery life on these is phenomenal, since i only charge them maybe twice a week. If i had to say something negative I'd say i guess the on-ear cushion can make you experience some ear fatigue but its a very minor problem and wouldnt make me avoid buying this personally. Lastly, im not an audiophile but i do enjoy great sound, i can say i do enjoy the sound these give! (:
I own T18 exiberia and it broke in 7 months so I then bought razer 7.1 chroma v2 but they are USB so I was fucked

QC35 review I'm ignoring beats for now.
But damn mate your review makes me want to purchase it.
I've purchased 1st and 2ndgen beats and both speakers died within 1year without fail!
I'm a musician and beats sound are incredible but the build quality 👎
And yes I do take care of my headphones really well 😂
Haha alright man I don't blame you if you stay away but the 3rd gen is a definite improvement! If anything, I think the Studio 3.0 is going to be even more of a leap in quality. It's gonna be legit.
Listened to a pair of Solo 2's and got hooked. Waiting on my 3's to get here. Got them for 199 from Apple. Don't trust eBay or even Amazon. I'd definitely buy directly from the source.
Mine is already on it’s way while watching this lmao
do u think beats only sounds best on iphone? how bout sony Z5? planning to buy so reply/replies would be much appreciated
I have a android. Is it still worth buying even if i don't have a iphone ?
Hero Killer Stain is it worth it since basically all the features on iOS are on android except for the w1 chip stuff. The batter life is the same too.
Yes
No, get something different
Not really, buy bose or v moda
Noooooooooooooo hell no dont do it ,waste of money they will sound just like regular headphones
People hate popular. These wouldn't be my first choice but have an iPhone and the W1 chip blows any BT connectivity out of the water. Audiophile & Bluetooth are mutually exclusive so if I'm going for convenience? The W1 chip is the way to go. Can be found for $149 USD right now. My biggest reservation is the 'fashion statement' aspect...
Still not $199 unfortunately. But there's still time before 2018.
Dale Jackson yes
Star Wars Dude it’s 2019 and there 300

Awesome review, I recently purchased the BOSE QC35 and they are truly an amazing pair of headphones, however of late travelling with work I think that the noise cancelling is good but you still here noise and after a while they have been giving me headaches as well considering the money you pay for them in Australia 🇦🇺. I am seriously looking at selling these and buying the BEATS SOLO 3 after your review, thoughts am I crazy 😜 cheers Ocean 🌊
yeah in new Zealand 🇳🇿 XD they are something like $450 NZD
I have quite a collection of cans (right now I have Hifiman HE400s on my head) and bought a pair of beats studio 2 a while ago, simply because I wanted to see for myself what that controversy is about ... initially I did not like them because of the white noise coming from the ANC ... and I never considered wearing closed backs in the gym, but this is what they are now being used for and I love them as gym phones! Sure, they are ear-saunas, but this is still the only way to battle the trashy gym music they are pumping over the speakers. For fun & comfort, these are great! Now wondering if I should go for an older studio 2.0 wireless, or those solo 3 w1, oooor, wait for the studio 3, but those will initially be like 400$, while I can find the studio 2 for sub-200 on ebay .. hmmm ... but thanks for the honest review
Does Beats Solo 3 work with android?
@Underwatch I completely disagree with you, wireless works really good, i have it paired on my S8+ and this thing can go far far away before losing it's connection UNBELIEVABLE!
Yes it works on android wireless, i have it paired with my s8+
Anthony Juan Can you still skip songs using the buttons on the beats ?
Hud G yes
How long does your battery last in them...i have the matte gold but they last 3hrs on high music..with my galaxy 8
Hey man, great in-depth review of these beats. I found it hard to find a review that didn't have a hidden bias (ahem marques). They are still over priced, but I like how you look at the review subjectively, and ignore any past hype/hate from other reviewers! Thanks again, subbed :)
Haha thank you and welcome to the channel!
Im wearing beats solo 3 right now
How low do you think the price will go during Black Friday. Currently they are 197 on amazon and I’m not willing to pay that much. I was wondering if anybody knows how low these will ho
Beats being bought by Apple is the best thing that ever happened to them... They still suck, but just not as much.
I suppose. The Beats HD and Solo 1 were absolutely horrific. I own the Solo 2s and listen to classical music with them and they aren't bad at all. Not to mention you can find the Solo 2s for around $100-120 now.
Jonah Hogue that's like one worst genre's for the headphones. But that probably means beats really did up their game.
Yeah, I agree. I actually just got the Studio 2.0 for $60 bucks on Ebay (they were confirmed to be real by Beats website) and they can sound a little harsh on the upper-mids like the vocals, but the bass is great for music like TSFH's.
They did up their game quite a bit, but the sound could be better for the retail price. The Studios are definitely worth the money now costing around $100-130 on average. Hopefully, Apple takes the headphones somewhere else in sound quality within the next few years.
Misc.Music they last so long though
Jonah Hogue where did u buy the solo 2s
I have a question. I've tried the Bose QC35s for a bit. While I did enjoy them, my problem with them is how the noise cancelling is always on when in wireless mode. Which is not always a good thing especially when someone is trying to get my attention. Do the Beats Solo 3 allow for adequate passthrough of outside noise, like voices?
Yes you can hear still, like if someone is talking to you directly
I Paid $120 For Mines They Come On The 14th 😂💪🏽
I paid $90. Got them before Christmas :-)
I paid 230 have them on...
Thanks for the review on the solo 3 headphones ! Really helpful!
not cool that beats only works better on iPhone and isnt fair for people like me that have samsung. i cant choose to skip a song using the headphone. too expensive in fact when you lost it or got stolen you cant trace it.
kingdestroyer01 Sevealii I know right, I have an Android phone and I can't do that but at least I have a smart watch that can do that so I don't need to worry as much about that.
I mean if you can afford beats shouldn't be too much trouble buying a iPhone
kingdestroyer01 Sevealii You can skip the songs with the beats, just not in wired. Which there is no point in using with the 40hr battery life.
What a minute!!!! These don't work on androids?????
My earbud beats work fine on my Samsung galaxy
mrchow489 they work on android and other reviewers say battery life the same. It just doesn't instantly connect to android. You just connect in Bluetooth settings
I wanted to ask regarding the bluetooth? It will connect to samsung phones as well right? As it was unclear.
Thanks!
Yes it will
Poor ppl hate beats

Antoni Sarira nah there are different headphones for different people, people like myself who prefer sound quality over looks and a recognized brand and people who want some headphones that sound good but also want headphones that you can brag to your friends about having since beats is one of those big names that everyone knows. I believe that beats is relatively good now but the price isn't exactly up to what they should be charging but they have paid millions of dollars so everyone can know the brand while brands like Audio Technica aren't well known because they focus their money on sound quality instead of paying celebrities to wear them
Antoni Sarira though they are pretty nice headphones and I wouldn't mind paying $140 to $160
poor people think beats are expensive
Antoni Sarira yup
It’s been 2 yrs how r they holding up
I'm like the only android user that bought beats
Oh same here
Curiosity question? Would you get the solo3 for 219.99 or the studio wireless for 249.99? new to head phones but want the best bang for my buck. I will be doing some air travel as well. your input is appreciated.
Honestly the Studio Wireless is a solid deal but if it's more expensive than the Solos, get the Solo 3. The Studio Wireless is now more than a couple years old, the Bluetooth technology isn't up to date so the streaming quality isn't as good as the Solo 3s. The only advantage is that the Studio Wireless has noise-canceling, but it's subpar tbh. Definitely not the same level as any of the newer active noise-canceling headphones from Bose or Sony
I have the rose gold beats solo 3 and the bass is not much better than a 40 dollar pair of headphones.
ur wierd
That's because they got rid of a good bit of bass so its not muffled and it's more balanced and not terrible
I don’t usually comment on videos. But I must say you did a excellent job and I like the detail explanations. Thank you so much.
Who else watching whilst listening with solo 3
So what would be the fair price for them by now?
Beats are God’s now
Gerry Glynn probably because apple bought the brand
I bought mine yesterday here in Africa it costs $.316 i think due to tax and shipment costs. But this thing is lit🔥🔥🔥🔥

Lmfao
hi everyone. I'm looking for a decent set of headphones but am unsure of what to buy. want them to last and sound great, I am saving for these so want them to last. getting fed up with my Samsung earpods mingling with my keys... any thoughts?
