If you order NEW beats you might get Jason’s

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2018

Color: Matte BlackVerified Purchase

When you buy new, not refurbished beats, at FULL PRICE, you just might get Jason’s used beats. Jason didn’t even have the audacity to save the wrapping, put the cords in nicely or delete his name. They’re even scratched and greasy. Such crap that this got returned and passed through to another customer. So disappointed.

Fake Headphones not the real beats solo by Dr Dre!

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2018

Color: Matte BlackVerified Purchase

Bought this with a Gift Card that I got for Christmas and was excited to get these when it comes in the mail because I’ve always wanted a pair of beats. I just got them in the mail right now and these turned out to be FAKE! I compared them to my sisters beats that her boyfriend got her and also watched YouTube videos and they are way different from what I got. I knew there was a catch to this and it doesn’t even match the description. Will be filing a return claim and will keep updated on status. Buyers Beware!

Don't buy it - waste of money

Don't buy it - waste of money! Keeps breaking and only one side works. I've sent this off to be repaired and it broke again after one week. Not a happy customer. They repair process was a joke - no email notifications were sent so I had no clue what was going on with the status. You have to sign into Amazon and view your order to actually see the updates from the repair. 2 thumbs down!

No-Compromise Wireless Simplicity and Sound

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2016

Color: Matte BlackVerified Purchase

Heads-up - this is a lengthy review - but when you are considering a headphone at this price you deserve as much review as you can get to help you decide! I will rate by topic so you can also focus on what is most important to you. Let's start with context. These are my first Beats headphones - wired or wireless. They are not of course my first wireless or wired headphones. I have several wireless headphones including Jabra Move and Jaybird BlueBuds X. I also have several wired headphones with my favorites being KEF M500 (on ear) and Oppo PM-2 (over ear). My sound preference in a headphone is crisp and clear highs and mids with a presence and "definition" of bass - but not over done. Yea, I'm not a bass-head. So here we go...

WIRELESS (5 / 5):
Right off the bat, this is where these headphone excel, and why I considered and bought them in the first place. They are by far the easiest bluetooth headphones I have used to pair and manage with multiple devices. This of course assumes you are very deep in the Apple eco-system - which I am. I use these headphones with an iPhone, iPad and MacBook. Initial pairing was simple and automatic with my iPhone - place it next to it, turned it on, hit accept and done. Then in seconds the headphone showed up in all my Apple devices! And switching between what device is connected and active is just as easy. I could never get previous wireless headphones I owned to play nice with multiple devices even though they supposedly supported this feature. One wireless headphone always went back and forth between my iPhone and iPad even when I was in the middle of listening to music on my iPhone. Not so with the Solo3! And the range and battery life are incredible. I have owned my Solo3 for over a week and I am still on the initial charge. So hands down wireless performance is the best feature of these headphones.

COMFORT (4 / 5):
The Solo3 is an on-ear headphone and for me they are actually quite comfortable. The leather pads are comfortable and seal well - though they are not as soft as the pads on my KEFs. But maybe they will soften over time. The "clamping" of the Solo3 is firm and keeps the headphones very stable during moderate activity but not so tight that they bother my ears at all. The headband liner is comfortable for me too - I don't seem to have the rubbing problem some people have mentioned. And the plastic construction (see again under quality) actually has one plus in that it keeps the headphones light. I almost don't notice they are on my head until... The good seal and firm/thick pads cause my ears to heat up after about 30 mins so I do have to take them off for short "cool-down" breaks.

QUALITY (3 / 5):
This is a hard one to judge short term so my rating here is certainly preliminary. Bottom line - admittedly there is a lot of plastic here. Yes, it is a plus under comfort as it keeps the headphones light. But when you get in to this price range you defiantly see more metals and leathers and less plastic. And some wired headphones I have are so solid they have lasted me over a decade! I am not sure I will be able to say that about these headphones. And a 1 year warranty is not very confident - some headphones starting at this price point offer up to 3 years. It would certainly inspire confidence if Beats backed these a bit more and made me feel like the plastic construction was solid and truly there for comfort (weight). That said its too early to bash longevity yet.

SOUND (4 / 5):
Ok now the final and most subjective topic - the sound quality. Recall my sound preference - not a bass-head. When I first heard about these headphones with the new wireless chip - I was interested because of all the hassles I had before with bluetooth headphones. But because they were Beats I struggled to decide to purchase or not. I have not owned Beats because Beats headphones I listened to in the past were definitely too much bass for me - thudding and muffled. But I decided to give it a try - I could always return them. They are not going back! The sound is actually a pleasant surprise. Yes, they are more bass then what I own now - but they sound more balanced then what I remember. You can hear good mids and highs - though they are certainly more reserved. And the spatial separation is very good - these give a full and well spaced sound that makes you feel like you are indeed in the middle of the studio or concert. They excel with more Rock then Classical, so there still is a place for my wired headphones, but I also don't feel like I have to sacrifice sound quality to get wireless convenience.

OVERALL (4 / 5):
Overall, these are very good wireless headphones - they are now my primary go to wireless headphones for sound quality and convenience across all my Apple devices - though I am keeping my set of wireless Jaybirds for intense workouts only. They are even what I turn to now over my wired headphones for most music/podcasts unless I want to immerse myself in some Acoustic, Classical or Jazz where I still prefer my wired options. Value is good - plastic to price ratio is not ideal - but it is offset by the wireless simplicity and sound. If you want a no-compromise wireless experience, you should at least consider these headphones.

At this point I have had the headphones 4 months and now they won't connect to Bluetooth. I also tried to connect them to a PC for an update but they will not connect via USB. I have tried to reset the headphones but that didn't work either. In contact with Apple Support now. This is my second pair of Beats and the other ones had to be sent in to be repaired because the right side stopped working.

DON'T BUY!

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2017

Color: Matte BlackVerified Purchase

I got these headphones 4 months ago and for the first two months, the were great. A couple of months in, I started to have some connectivity issues and the earpads started separating from the base. Then the rubber headband started to come off.
Finally, a couple of days ago, the headphones died completely. I charged them to 100% and the still won't turn on. I bought wireless Sol Republic headphones a couple of years ago and they worked fine until I lost them and had to buy new headphones. I got these Beats thinking they'd be an upgrade.... They're cheaply made sold at a ridiculous price. NOT AT ALL WITH THE MONEY. THEY ONLY LASTED FOUR MONTHS!

TICKING TIME BOMB!

The headphones battery life is amazing and charging speed is super fast, connectivity to iPhone is seamless, the sound quality is awesome, but the right headphone cut out after only six months of use. This appears to be an ongoing issue/design flaw with the headphones as three of my friends have had this happen to them! Mine cut out yesterday and I am going to do what I can to get this item replaced under warranty. If unsuccessful I am going to be very disappointed as they cost me $355.

Estos son los primeros Beats Solo de Apple tras la adquisicion hace un par de años, y a esto se refiere que le incluyeron su tecnologia del W1 Chip que hace mas facil la conexion a los dispositivos Apple. La duracion de la bateria fue una grande mejora, con 5 minutos que los pongas a cargar tienes 3 horas de duracion. Si vemos las mejorias tras las versiones anteriores y otros modelos fueron la conexion, duracion de bateria y el sonido y comodidad tambien mejoraron. En comparacion a los Beats Studio podria decir que aqui no seria por el sonido si no por la comodidad de los oidos que los Studio ofrecen. Recientemente cambie los Studio por estos Solo y diria que si quieren una actualizacion lo recomendaria sin dudas.

J'utilise souvent mes beat solo pour mon trajet d'une heure dans le métro en jouant à mes jeux ou écouter de la musique et faire des appel téléphonique.Pratique j'ai les mains libres.Fit très bien sur les oreilles,bon petit coussin aussi.
Une seule affaire que j'ai pas aimé.Si je suis sur un appel et que je suis à l'extérieur.Et que cette journée la,il a du vent.L'autre personne au bout de la ligne,attend un peu mal la communication (très minime).
A part de sa,je suis très satisfait de mon achat.
