Review on 🎧 Beats Solo Pro Wireless Noise Cancelling On-Ear Headphones - Apple H1 Headphone Chip, Class 1 Bluetooth, 22 Hours Listening Time - Dark Blue by Victor Pinckney

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent build quality, good sound, it hurts.

The iOS integration is very handy and I love how it looks and the overall sound quality for Bluetooth is fantastic. The low-end is incredibly flat, except for the extreme bass that really limits most of the music I listen to, which is kind of funny as it's kind of the opposite of what the Beats are known for. They're not very comfortable either, definitely too tight for my ears, even after fairly short sessions. If they were $60 I would think they are great, but at $300 they are really short. I haven't decided yet if I like them enough to keep them, but I wouldn't recommend them over something as cheap as the Sony XB-400 as the sound quality is about the same, bass, comfort and the passive noise isolation of the XB-400 is much better. Active Noise Cancellation and "Transparency" in the Solo Pro are good. probably not worth it. I am most likely returning them mainly for comfort issues. If I put them on *just* right, I can wear them for about two hours, but that's about it. They're too painful to wear compared to everything else I own, and with the similarly priced Bose QuietComfort 35 II, they just don't make sense to me.

Pros
  • Rugged design
Cons
  • Speed
