$145 for Beats Solo 3's?? You cant beat it!
I was worried about buying these Beats Solo headphones due to the reviews on Best Buy and Apple.com about them either dying out overtime, hinges breaking easily or not sounding good. I decided to give these a try for $145, and got them in the Decade collection red and black. But some colors have different prices for some reason at Best Buy, so don't pay $299.99 pay $150 trust me even if it isn't your favorite color! The colors are awesome! I love the black and red color scheme, seriously one of the best looking headphones right now! The sound is amazing, I love the bass and the clarity, these headphones get very loud, but it isn't tinny at all even when using Bluetooth. I am not a huge audiophile and I don't nitpick about every little detail of the sound, but I really love the sound it is very crisp and loud! I also love the fast Apple W1 Chip, which pairs to my iPhone 8 Plus on IOS 13 in seconds, and it also shows an animation with the same color of my beats which is a nice detail. These headphones come with a small pouch which is very nice, but wish it was hardshell like the Beats studio 3 has. The thing is that even though it is comfortable for the most part, after a few hours my ears start to feel warm and it feels weird having them on and I am not the only one who have this problem. I also don't like the fact that these headphones still use Micro USB, but not USB C Lightning like the PowerBeats Pro and Beats X have. The battery life is 40 hours, and i can confirm that these headphones last a long time without a charge so that is an awesome feature to have. Now look these headphones aren't going to be for everyone especially for the comfort and sound, but for $150 on sale, you can buy 2 for the price of $299.99 which is an awesome deal! I will update this review if anything happens. But for now these are my favorite so far!

Sleek Design, Nice Sound, Outstanding Battery Life
The satin gold Solo3 headphones are excellent quality and provide great sound! If you want simple, straightforward headphones that have a sleek design and aren't crazy expensive, these are the ones to get! A couple notes - when I first purchased mine, they pressed down on my head/ears quite a bit. It was uncomfortable and I couldn't wear them for long at one time. That only lasted for that initial week though. If you are thinking of purchasing these, be prepared for that. They fit comfortably and like a glove, which is great for exercising. This design is nice because it's reassuring to know that they're not going to just slide off while working out or cleaning. The sound and base on these is EXCELLENT. I also have a pair of Solo Pro headphones, and honestly, the Solo3 hold up pretty well against those soundwise. Although the Pros are an upgrade, I would disagree with anyone who says that Solo Pro are way better than Solo3. I enjoy using both pairs. Solo3 do not have noise cancelling, which of course puts them at a slight disadvantage when compared with many of the other headphone choices available on the market currently. But the sound on these is loud and the quality is great. The battery life is OUTSTANDING on these. A solid 40 hours or so of use passes before charging is required. Excellent headphones overall. Also, there are many color options to choose from. I chose satin gold. After a year and a half of using them, they have held up well after daily use. I love them!

I love them but......
They are great headphones, I am more of a earphone type of person but they still give me the satisfaction that I require for headphones to provide. The battery life does say what they are. I love the quality that beats Solo 3 was mainly because I have heard that they're good so I thought, well broke anyway let's go for the expensive ones. But my cons for it are they are very docile, easily broken if handled wrong.

Awesome
I don't usually like to do reviews but I decided I absolutely had to on this product . I purchased these Headphones as a Christmas present to myself. I have heard so many good things about them and after reading the reviews I decided to buy them for myself and I must say it has been the best thing I have ever bought myself. I absolutely love these headphones not only is the sound quality awesome the fact that their wireless is a bonus and they match my phone perfectly as I have the rose gold iPhone 6s . The only negative thing I would have to say about them is I had a hard time at first plugging them into the charger and I ended up scratching them a little bit but other than that they have been great! I can't believe how far away you can use them from your phone or device I have literally walked all the way to the other side of my house and they still work not to mention how many hours you can use them without charging them . I definitely would recommend these to anyone who is thinking about purchasing them they are as good as they say they are!

Best Christmas Present Ever!!
These are my dream headphones! I love the way they sound, I love the way they look, I can clean the house, go to work, dance around, not be attached to anything. I can drown out all the irritating noises of the world beautifully! AND I HAVEN'T HAD TO CHARGE THEM YET!!! So it appears the battery lasts forever! Can't say enough. Really. Awesome purchase!!
