Great Sound and Long Battery Life
By R. David on Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2024
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!

Long term use 👎🏻
By Delanta Neal on Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2025
They did well for 2 years… now they only work out of one ear. Did the troubleshooting and I take very good care of my headphones. Zero scratches or blemishes. Just be aware after long term use.

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.
Literally mind-blowing upgrading from AirPods Pro 2

Beats **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!!!
Exceptional Sound and Comfort!

I bought this as a gift for my partner and I am beyond impressed with the Beats Solo headset! The sound quality is phenomenal – rich bass, clear mids, and crisp highs that make every song sound incredible. Whether I’m listening to music, watching movies, or taking calls, the audio is consistently top-notch. The design is sleek and stylish, and I love the snug yet comfortable fit. The ear cushions provide great comfort, even for long listening sessions, and the lightweight build makes it perfect for on-the-go use. The battery life is also impressive, lasting me through multiple days of use without needing a charge. The Bluetooth connection is seamless, and I’ve experienced no dropouts or interference. Plus, the built-in microphone ensures clear calls and hands-free operation. Whether you’re a music lover, a frequent traveler, or someone who just wants quality sound, the Beats Solo is an excellent choice! Highly recommend these headphones – they are worth every penny!

Unmatched Style and Performance

I recently purchased the Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones, and I must say, they have left a lasting impression on me. From their sleek design to impressive sound quality and long-lasting battery life, these headphones have become my constant companion for both daily commutes and intense workout sessions. First and foremost, the design of the Beats Solo3 headphones is striking. The sleek and streamlined appearance, combined with the iconic Beats logo, exudes a sense of modernity and style. The headphones come in a variety of attractive colors, allowing users to express their personality and preferences. The on-ear design is comfortable and snug, providing a secure fit that stays in place even during vigorous activities. The sound quality is undeniably excellent. The Beats Solo3 headphones deliver a powerful and bass-heavy sound signature that suits various music genres. The bass response is deep without overpowering the vocals and trebles, resulting in an immersive audio experience. Whether I'm listening to my favorite tracks, watching movies, or playing games, the headphones never fail to impress with their rich and dynamic sound. The wireless connectivity is a game-changer. Pairing the Beats Solo3 with my devices is effortless, thanks to the Apple W1 chip. The Bluetooth connection remains stable and reliable, allowing me to move around without any dropouts. Additionally, the on-ear controls are intuitive and easy to use, enabling me to adjust the volume, skip tracks, and answer calls with a simple tap. The battery life of the Beats Solo3 headphones is outstanding. With up to 40 hours of playback on a single charge, I rarely have to worry about running out of power during extended use. Moreover, the Fast Fuel feature is incredibly handy, providing three hours of playback after just a 5-minute charge, perfect for those last-minute situations. The headphones also feature a built-in microphone, which works well for making calls and using voice assistants like Siri. However, the microphone's performance in noisy environments could be improved, as it tends to pick up background noise. Comfort-wise, the on-ear design may not be suitable for everyone, especially during prolonged wear. Some users might experience slight discomfort or ear fatigue after extended use, but this can be alleviated by adjusting the fit and taking short breaks. While the Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones deliver impressive sound quality and wireless convenience, the premium price tag might be a deterrent for some budget-conscious consumers. However, the product's performance and brand reputation are likely to justify the investment for audiophiles and fans of the Beats brand. In conclusion, the Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones are a stylish and reliable choice for music enthusiasts seeking powerful sound and seamless wireless functionality. With a few minor improvements in comfort and microphone performance, these headphones could easily score a perfect rating. If you prioritize style, sound quality, and long-lasting battery life, the Beats Solo3 headphones won't disappoint.

These headphones deserve the hype!

At last I finally found the perfect wireless headphones!! I bought these back in November when they were on sale for Black Friday (only $80!) and wanted to give them a test period before I reviewed them. Here’s what I’ve experienced this far: 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%.
Excellent sound and awesome battery life.

There has been reviews about the cheap plastic feel, but overall it feel sturdy and durable. The sound is deep as with all Beats speakers and the charging was quick from 0% to 100%. I could wear this for about an hour before I start feeling some discomfort on the ears since this ear cups sits on the ears and and not over.

These beats gotta be perfect for cleaning, workouts, and quick access when trying to be quiet for my 3month old to sleep & I need some mommy time. I wear them over my headscarf & bonnet most times around the house & I don’t use them consistently so I charge them like every two weeks because that’s how long they last me since i don’t use them everyday, all day, but the charge time is more than accurate, just amazing. ❤️
