- Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2024Color: BlackStyle: Solo3Set: Without AppleCare+Verified PurchasePros: 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2024Color: SilverStyle: Solo3Set: Without AppleCare+Verified PurchaseI 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!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2025Color: RedStyle: Solo3Set: Without AppleCare+Verified PurchaseI 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!

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.

João MatheusReviewed in Brazil on June 20, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars Bom fone, com alguns pontos.
Color: BlackStyle: Solo3Set: Without AppleCare+Verified PurchaseBasicamente já era usuário de um Beats Solo3, e acabei comprando um novo para mim pois dei o meu anterior para outra pessoa. É um fone bom, de qualidade impar. Após um ano, é notavel certo desgaste das borrachas no arco superior do fone, que soltam com o tempo. O fone é um pouco desconfortável pelo tamanho das almofadas. Para quem tem lobulos grandes ou faz uso de óculos, recomendo o studio.
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.
