Customer Ratings & Reviews

great headphones, sound and the fit of these were on point.

Little bit tight, maybe small that’s why tight....

Comfortable and like the look and sound it gives me

I've had these Solo Pros just long enough to confirm they deliver the best tuned bass; perhaps even overall sound - right out of the box. The immersion factor for both music, movies and games is unrivaled as a first impression, no app tuning/tweaking...WOW! Pairing was simple - Bluetooth range is solid. The transparency feature is handy - allows you to have a quick conversation without removing the headphones. Charge time on a full battery is better than expected, close to, if not more than the 22 hours noted in item description. Incredible that when pumping tunes out at a moderate level with such full bass you can listen for almost a day straight. No issue wearing them 4 hours in a stretch - ears/head remained cool, comfortable as can be (for me as adult male).

Good sound quality but uncomfortable even after 6 months of use.. even worse with glasses on. Max volume is just so close to satisfactory but doesn't quite reach it. Stick with Bose or a higher quality product.

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.

Excellent service other an not honoring a previous discount I received on the Beats Solos My previous Beats were stolen from me in less than one month and I thought you’d allow me to receive the discount again when I had to purchase another Beats Solos

These are expensive but what you get is Apple technology and Apple design. Well worth the price. The sound is excellent. You might get better noise cancelling with over the ear headphones but I have no complaints. Bass is spot on.

I purchased these for my grandson for Christmas and he provided the following comments: Positive: Superb bluetooth range Controls easy to reach and manipulate Great noise control Negative: Could benefit from having a "skip song" control

These headphones functionally are great. Noise cancellation is good. However, after wearing for about 10 minutes, I felt like they started squeezing my head. I read the review about this, but I consider myself to have a smaller size head, so I didn’t think I would have an issue. I’m really disappointed. I can only wear them about 10 minutes before I start getting a tension headache. Unfortunately, I miss my window to return them. These to me would only be comfortable for a child.

These headphones sound great and the noise canceling works well. Unfortunately I can’t justify spending $300 on these. Also, just because you add noise canceling doesn’t make it “PRO”

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.

Battery life is a little short for my taste and the case is an odd shape that seems to take up a lot of space in my bag. Great sound though.

Love them! They hurt my ears if I’m wearing certain earrings but overall couldn’t ask for a better product. I did the open box and they are perfect!

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend and he loved them! Not only are they noise canceling, they have a very sleek look to them!

Great product at a great price. Paul Amato and his team were very helpful. Folsom Best Buy is my go to place for electronics.

Noice cancelling is descent, but the volume must be turnt up all the way. I don’t know, maybe I’m just use to louder headphones.

My wife loves her Bose QC 35 headphones that have been widely recognized as some of the best on the market. The new Beats Solo Pro with noise cancelling are easily this good with some fantastic features on top. To start with they come in an assortment of colors, not just in two or three such as the Sony or Bose. They employ the same technology as Apple AirPods, so when you nap the headphones open to put them on, they immediately pair with your iOS device without the need for going into your Bluetooth settings,Or using an app. The sound is excellent, and not to bass heavy, as was the issue with previous beats headphones. Even though these are on ear headphones, the use of a memory foam like material in the air cups makes them very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. Speaking of extended periods of time they are rated for about 20 hours of battery life on full charge, but I also have a quick charge they get you a couple hours of listening with just a few minutes of charging. In addition to the ease of pairing, one of the best new features is a pass-through hearing mode that uses the microphones and the headset to allow you to listen to the world around you so that you never have to take them off to carry on a conversation or to pay for your groceries. This is deceptively B handy. I know that the newer versions of both Sony and Bose use this, but this is one of my favorite features. Overall, a great set of headphones awesome for traveling great for shutting out the noise of the world, but with plenty of features allow you to do the rest of the daily work you have. I’m having a hard time keeping them away from my kids!!! A definite win!

These are very convenient and good headphones. I love that it's so easy to switch between MacBook, iPad and iPhone.

They were easy to pair and easier to use. Controls are conveniently located and Ican even answer incoming phone calls. There great.
