“The Beats Solo 3 Wireless are potentially amazing headphones – assuming you’re happy with the familiar plastic (and durable) design to start with.”

The Beats Solo3 2019 Wireless on-ear headphones are praised for their well-built design and long battery life, but criticized for a bass-heavy sound profile that muddies vocals and a lack of noise isolation. The review concludes that while they are satisfactory for commuting and travel, their tight fit and bulky design can become fatiguing during extended use.

Mixed 6.6/10

“Focused on style and compatibility, the asking price of the Beats Solo3 is a bit high for only average sound.”
