Frequency response, as usual, is where the story of Beats begins and ends. For the most part, the Solo3s do a commendable job equalizing volume across the frequency spectrum—except on the low-end. Indeed, an emphasis on heavy, thumping bass is "in" right...
Yes, but only if you can spare the cash and you know how Solos fit on your head.Look, the Beats Solo3s are a pretty great pair of cans, all things considered. They're also the best Solos yet (though arguably, this should always be the case with the newest...

Looking at sound quality on its own may leave you questioning the £250 price tag, but Beats has never been about sound alone. The argument used to be that you're paying for fashion, but with the Solo 3 you're paying for a lot more than that. You're also g...

Beats as a company have come a long way. Since Apple has owned the company, their sound has changed as well. I've reviewed a few pairs of Beats headphones since Apple has taken over and they're certainly not the same as the Monster days. This holds true f...

While Apple has refined the sound, Beats are still leaning to the bass side, Like the Beats Studio3's, the clamping power is significant, No USB-C charging, No pocket inside carrying case for cable storage...
Mickey Mouse lovers will love these. If you're just looking for a nice pair of headphones, then these will serve you well, especially if you're into a more bass heavy sound. At the current sale price I think they're perfectly priced, at the normal price...

The Beats Solo 3 headphones' amazing battery life make them better for iPhone 7 users than any other on-ear headset. They're expensive and a bit heavy on the bass, but the Beats Solo 3's 40-hour battery life is worth the price. While the Beats Solo 3 head...

The Beats Solo3 are super stylish, but lack of noise cancellation ultimately dooms them in my quest for perfect wireless headphones."Ooo, shiny."After two months with Beats's Solo3 headphones, this is still my first reaction when pulling the company's on-...
I wish I liked the Solo3 headphones more: They really are quite beautiful, and fit over my ears much more like an over-ear model. The sound quality is excellent, though a bit bass-heavy, and spoken content is just as good. But at $299, the Solo3 is bumpin...

Apple's recent announcement that it was releasing some goofy-looking wireless earbuds for $159 netted plenty of attention, but the geek vitriol overshadowed a key point—that Apple had developed a new wireless chip called the W1. The signaling around the W...
The biggest news here surrounds the W1, which makes all other Bluetooth headphones suddenly look like a tin can and string. Designed to make pairing seamless, one button press autopairs the headphones not just with your iPhone but with any other iOS devic...
Despite all the upgrades, $300 is still an awful lot to pay for headphones, even if they are as much status symbol as audio device. (You can even get them finished in rose gold to match your fancy new phone.) Some may find the fit to be exceptionally snug...

For better or for worse, Beats might be the most well-known audio brand out right now. They haven't released anything new in a while, and now that the iPhone 7 is out we know why. The new Beats products come with Apple's new W1 chip. This chip is supposed...
The Beats Solo3 Wireless got me very excited for the future of wireless headphones, just not for the Solo3. Connecting to iOS is a breeze and the benefits of the W1 chip range from a simple pairing process, to an insane battery life. In my opinion the bui...
