Beats clearly emphasizes style, brand power, and compatibility with Apple products above all else, and average audio performance for $200 might be too steep.
Several color options ; Great battery life ; Strong compatibility with Apple products
Poor bass ; Tight fit causes listening fatigue
Expert review by : Tim Gideon (pcmag.com)
The Beats Solo3 Wireless headphones use Apple's W1 chip for easier connectivity with iOS devices and deliver a balanced Bluetooth audio experience for bass lovers, but feel a tad expensive.
Powerful, bass-forward (but balanced) audio performance. Apple W1 chip enhances experience with iOS devices. Detachable cable with inline remote for passive listening.
A bit overpriced. Headband can get uncomfortable during longer listening sessions.
Beats may be known for its massive bass, but the Solo3 Wireless, while certainly sculpted in the lows and highs, don't go over the top with their bass response. The result is a bass-forward sound signature with crisp highs and solid overall balance....

If you want to condense Apple's 2016 down to a pithy mission statement, it's this: war on wires. Along with the traditional spec upgrades of iPhones and MacBooks, the Cupertino company this year...
Rock-solid wireless performance ; Entertaining sound, especially with modern electronic music ; Light and comfortable
Flimsy, plastic-rich construction ; Not great at handling acoustic music ; You won't get the most out of these without an iOS device

The Beats Solo3 2019 Wireless are the next generation of the Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless. These colorful headphones have kept the well-built and sleek design as we...
Over 38 hours of continuous playback time. Good build quality. Stable fit.
Bulky design. No EQ. Some leakage at higher volumes. Poor noise isolation.
The Beats Solo 3 are satisfactory for neutral sound. They have a bass-heavy sound profile, which can muddy vocals and lead instruments. Their companion app also doesn't allow you to customize their sound profile to better suit your needs. That said,...

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless are decent mixed usage headphones with a reasonably balanced sound profile. They're almost identical to the Beats Solo2 Wireless bu...
Excellent wireless range and battery life. Stable and sturdy design.
Poor noise isolation. Leaky at higher volumes.
The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless are fair for mixed use. They're versatile headphones that deliver a decently balanced sound with a slight emphasis on bass. Although they struggle in loud environments, their comfortable and wireless design makes them a...

What more do you need from a pair of wireless headphones?
Really nice design ; Good sound quality ; Excellent battery life ; Apple W1 chip makes set-up easy ; Headphone jack!
Punchy bass not for everyone ; Charges over microUSB
The question now becomes: are the Solo3 Wireless worth buying in 2019?

The newest wireless Beats on-ears sound great, but still squeeze your head and wallet
Expert review by : Chip Chick Staff (chipchick.com)
Beats are back. It had been a while since we'd seen new products from Beats! Fortunately, there are a whole bunch of wireless headphones coming our way that were announced during the iPhone 7 launch. Now that Beats has been fully integrated into Apple,...

It's time for another crack at the Beats Solo formula, which has already produced some of the most popular headphones in the world.
Clever new tech for iPhone users, but otherwise sub-par performance from these new Beats headphones.
Expert review by : xAndrew Wiliams (techradar.com)
This year's on-ear Beats are here, but can their sound match their other functionality improvements?
Excellent wireless stability Good Bluetooth-phone interaction Energetic, punchy sound
Firm headband pressure Lack of fidelity for the price
Smart wireless headphones that make some real techy improvements, but the sound unfortunately lags behind.
