Customer Ratings & Reviews

These Solos are fantastic. My son loves his headphones... Great value. We had an issue with the first pair we bought and Customer Service at the store was amazing; super easy process to get them replaced!!!

Just bought it today at a great price so that gets 5 stars the color is wasn’t my first choice but unboxing it fall in love with it I’ll put them to work and I’ll update my review in a week hope it keeps the 5 stars

The sound quality is exceptional. However, the ear pieces hurt my ears. I read similar reviews afterwards that this might happen. They are good for about 10 minutes then your ears hurt.

These headphones were a gift to my son for his birthday. I last minute forgot to order them, but Best Buy came to the rescue!!! The curbside pick up was quick and effortless, I was very impressed!

SET-UP Initial set-up is the simplest of any Bluetooth headphones I’ve tried to date. I had zero difficulty getting the headphones to work with either an Android or iOS device. There’s no software or apps to install to get the headphones working. All that is needed, is to pair them with your device. There are a lot of nice and thoughtful features to the Beats Solo Pros. Apple has spent a good amount of time making the product look and feel premium. From the excellent set-up process to the way you power the headphones on, the product and experience all feel premium. Want to listen to the headphones? Just unfold them. The Beats power themselves on and automatically connect to their paired device. Done for the day? Just fold them up. The Beats automatically power off when folded. Excellent user experience Beats (who is now owned by Apple)! Listening options are limited, but equally simple. Choices are Noise Cancelling On, Noise Cancelling Off, and Transparent. These are an on-ear design and transparent amplifies your surroundings so that you can hear the outside world in addition to your selection of programming. USE The headphones do a good job at accurately reproducing the mid to upper frequencies, even when listening to lossy mp3’s. Vocals are clear and well defined without sounding thin or tinny. Apple does a great job of optimizing the Bluetooth stack in their iOS software. I have never had issues with Bluetooth delay. These Beats are no different. Speech and audio were always in sync with the videos on any of my iOS devices. Even my Android phone synced perfectly with the Solo Pros. The Beats’ ear cushions are comfortable and feel well made. However, these headphones don’t feel made for someone that has a huge cantaloupe attached to their shoulders like I do. While they fit and are moderately comfortable, after about an hour’s use, I have to take them off and for a break. They become uncomfortable pretty quickly for me. I don’t consider this a negative, as I think a vast majority of the buyers won’t have this issue like I do. NEGATIVES The Solo Pros refuse to charge with anything but an Apple supplied adapter. I have tried numerous times with my Anker wall chargers. They charge everything else that I own. iPad, iPhone, Android phone, power banks, watches, etc. But, the Beats refuse to charge without being plugged into an Apple supplied wall charger. It should be noted that I tried both the small Apple phone charger and the larger iPad charger and both products charged the headphones normally and fairly quickly. An additional negative is that the headphones charge via a lightning cable. Apple clearly wants to market this product to their customers. I find this very short-sided. While it is great for those that have an iPhone or iPad that charges with a lightning cable, but not for those of us that use micro USB or USB-C charging cables. We all now have to carry and additional cable for charging. I think Apple would have been better served giving the headphones a USB-C port, something the company is going toward anyway. FINAL THOUGHTS The Beats Solo Pro headphones do look and feel premium. Apple has worked their magic and has done a fantastic job making the user experience easy and upscale. The headphones definitely have a premium feel and look, even if I’m not a fan of the bright orange color. But, in the end, it all boils down to how well the headphones perform. Honestly, if I haven’t been listening to a number of different headphones from various manufacturers as of late, I would probably be perfectly happy with them. However, I have multiple sets of headphones at similar and lesser price points that perform as good, or better than the Beats. Like I stated, earlier, the Beats do an admirable job at reproducing the mid to upper frequencies, but that’s where it ends. The Beats have a complete lack of bass compared to their competitors. I was hoping it was just my source material. But it was not. Regardless of the source material (movie or music) or operating system (I tried both Android and iOS), the Beats just didn’t cut it. Music and movies weren’t near as interesting and fun with the Beats. You really miss the lower octaves. A portion of your listening experience is just lost. Even Dre’s music wasn’t as much fun with the Beats as it was with its competitors. For me, a product has to work as good as it looks. I care less about a mundane design if the product works well. For me it has to be function over form. With the shortcomings of these headphones, I feel Apple prioritizes form over function. The headphones lack a significant amount of bass compared to its competitors. The Apple only charging port and charger requirement is a drag, especially if I had only an Android product. Based on this, I’m only giving the product 3 stars. If I used Android products exclusively, I wouldn’t even entertain the purchase. If I was invested heavily into the Apple infrastructure, I might consider it if my available options were limited. But for me, Beats’ competitors offer better performance and significantly better sound quality for the same or less money.

Good noise canceling active and passive and easy to charge Goes into active mode as soon as it’s unfolded and is good. Unfortunately unlike bose 35 it’s like wearing a vice on your head

So I really wanted a new pair of headphones to listen to music with, I have airpods but love the feel of a good pair of headphones. Purchased these for about 150 when they were a deal of the day. The earcups are just too small, they don't go around your ear they go ON your ear which is really weird compared to maybe dozen other headsets I've owned. The sound quality is actually pretty solid but I felt as if these were made for folks with smaller heads or maybe kids. I would definitely look for something else or start saving up some change to get those airpods max.

The quality is okay if your looking for beats. After a while the Bluetooth and noise cancellation makes a weird sound and sometimes disconnects. However, if far away from the phone , headphones will alert.

The headphones fit my 8-year-old better than they fit me. They are an extremely snug fit - to the point that wearing them for half an hour began to hurt my head. I purchased these to teach virtually, and while I could hear extremely well on them, my middle students said it sounded like I was in a tunnel and there was a great deal of feedback. When the headphones are "opened", they automatically connected to iPhones. This is not a good thing if your headphones are on your computer and you are on the other side of the house. I returned them.

I get disappointed at Apple audio products after usage, when the audio doesn’t work properly...So, that’s why I brought these Beats by Dre as a replacement to the ongoing issue with Apple audio products.

Not recommended. This Headphones are to tight. My daughter is small and when she put it on, she told me that are really tight. She tried for a week, but doesn't like it. Returned.

Bought these for my son, he’s constantly losing his AirPods, and/or earbuds when he takes them out and sets them down somewhere… He can’t miss these :-)

Headphones have good build but transparency mode and noise cancellation is no where near as good as other apple products.too expensive for the price.

Gave these to our son for Christmas. Big hit! Work great, he's 10 and can handle them all on his own. Come in a decent carry case for him to store the headphones and accessories.

Good headphones, price point is a bit steep and they feel smaller than pervious generations. If they are on sale you should definitely pick them up. Otherwise just not worth it.

These have to be the best built Beats headphones in a while but there is hardly any bass to these and for me that doesn't cut it. Let me feel at least a little thump in my music. Returned them.

We can finally watch TV together (at least in the same) room because he loves these headphones and he doesn't have to hear whatever I am viewing on the TV while he's on his IPad!

Never thought I’d own anything Beats. Based on a recommendation, I took a chance. LOVE THEM!!! Inside, outside, in public. I wear them anywhere I feel like it. So many positives.

Dope! Got these for the gym. They are pretty decent and he sound is ok. I wish they were a little louder to give that extra boom! Overall pretty good for the price I paid.

This turned out to be a great gift for my 11 year old. They've become a new wardrobe accessory and the color is a cool match for his school colors.
