**all coming from an airpods & airpods pro 2 user**
Two notes about me:
* I have a pretty average sized head & ears
* I wear glasses
Thoughts:
- 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!!!

Pros
1. The sound quality is impeccable. Literally everything is so clear and crisp. Funny enough, to put it into perspective, I was watching a movie and did not notice faint background music until I put these headphones on.
2. The battery life is great. For me, they last roughly 72 hours before I need to fully recharge them. With charging, it takes maybe 40 minutes to an hour to get back up to a full charge. Impressive
3. They’re compact and foldable. You’d be surprised how many headsets don’t fold when you’re done using them but these are perfect if you need to travel.
4. They can connect to anything! I connected them to the Bluetooth on my tv for the first time since I didn’t want to wake my roommate up at 2am and set up was easy and simple.
5. Changing the volume or song is simple and easy.
6. Not really a pro, just an opinion, but they are really cute and stylish.
Cons:
1. A lot of people were right about them hurting your ears after having them on for too long; maybe more than 4 hours of continuous wear. I wish the part that goes around your ears was a little bigger to minimize the discomfort, but nonetheless it’s not a huge deal.
2. Don’t connect them to numerous things at once. For instance, I had these paired with my iPhone and laptop at the same time. When I turned on my laptop it disconnected from my iPhone automatically and vice versa. My suggestion, disconnect from the device you’re not using and only focus on one sole device at a time.
3. I wish the charger came with a charging block instead of just a wire. If you don’t have an extra block make sure you get one.
4. They are not 100% noise cancelling but it does block out a good amount of outside noise
5. My only concern is that when you call someone or someone calls you there’s a weird echo in the background. Like every time you talk it sounds like you’re talking in a tunnel? Again not a big deal just something I’ve noticed.
Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and if you’re considering getting these just do it. I really needed them for studying purposes and they get the job done 100%.
Top reviews from other countries
The wireless connectivity provides a seamless experience, allowing me to move freely without being tethered to my device. The Bluetooth technology ensures a reliable connection, and the setup process is quick and straightforward.
The sound quality is exceptional, with a robust bass and clear, crisp highs. Whether I'm listening to music, watching videos, or taking calls, the audio clarity is consistently impressive. The on-ear design contributes to noise isolation, enhancing the overall listening experience.
One of the notable features is the impressive battery life. The Solo3 headphones offer an extended playtime, making them ideal for long journeys or extended use throughout the day. The Fast Fuel technology is a game-changer, providing several hours of playback with just a short charging period.
The sleek and stylish design adds a touch of sophistication, and the foldable structure enhances portability. The cushioned ear cups and adjustable headband ensure comfort during prolonged use.
While the price point might be higher compared to some alternatives, the Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones justify the investment with their premium sound quality, comfortable design, and convenient wireless functionality. They are a fantastic choice for those who prioritize both style and audio performance in their headphones.
Almofadas também superaram as espectativas, se mantendo intactas após 1 ano de uso contínuo. Não sei se foi feito uma revisão no fone, pois meu primeiro fone é de 2016. Anteriormente as almofadas se soltavam.
Qualidade do bluetooth também melhorou. Meu fone antigo, depois de uns 8 meses, parou de funcionar o bluetooth. Já para este atual, segue perfeito.
DICA: Comprem o preto, os coloridos tendem a amarelar por conta da gordura corporal, mesmo efetuando limpeza. Almofadas também.
