The attractive Beats Solo3 Headphones excel for their ease of use, comfort, and battery life.
I ordered the Beats Solo3 in Gold at the end of January and have not regretted it! The ear cushions are soft and comfortable and the entire headset is lightweight and can easily be worn for extended periods of time with only the mild discomfort which I would expect from having something pressed against my ear continually. The gold color is tasteful and pretty, without crossing over to ostentatious.The battery life is excellent. I have yet to run the battery below 45% and have only plugged them into the charger three times sense purchasing them -- twice being when they were still around 65%.The wireless range is impressive, as well. I live mainly in an old 1910 house, so the thick walls tend to get in the way of most signals, but I can still get a good two rooms away before the interference is noticeable with these headphones. When I'm staying in a newer building, I can walk the dog down the street with the headphones playing music from a device still inside without any problems at all.Additionally, I love using them for phone calls with my iPhone. The quality of the sound and ease of use in this regard is far superior to any arrangement I have used previously, such as wired headphones/earbuds or the native speakers of my Apple devices. If I'm having to ask people to repeat what they said, I can usually solve the problem by switching to the headphones. Some people have told me that they hear a slight amount of echo or feedback when I'm speaking through them, but it has not been a problem or interfered with any calls.The setup with both my iPhone and my iPad was ridiculously simple and painless, just as advertised.It was slightly harder to use them with my 2014 MacBook Pro. The setup was no more complex than connecting to any other bluetooth device, but the quality of sound when playing music from the computer leaves much to be desired. Through my other devices, the music is very clear, well balanced (for my tastes), and allows me to hear new variances and nuances in even my most familiar songs. However, when they were connected to my computer, vocals and higher registers sound muted and muffled, and a high pitched distortion tone was inescapable. I tried changing the volume and the equalizers and could not resolve the issue. Again -- this does NOT happen when they are connected to any other device. The headphones do not have any trouble with other types of audio from the computer, either. I have used them for watching Netflix from this same laptop with no problem what so ever. Connecting the headphones to the computer with their wire bypassed the music issue, but mostly I just listen to music through my iPhone or iPad, anyway. I should also note, that I have not had problems with music in shows or movies, so it is possible that the issue has since resolved itself through some general computer update.In general, I have no problems with the sound quality of these headphones. As I said above, the music is very clear, well balanced (for my tastes), and I have heard new variances and nuances in even my most familiar songs. I have happily used them to listen to a wide range of the genres that have been popular and on the airwaves over the last 10-20 years, as well as swing and old musical music. Having researched rather thoroughly before purchasing, I was prepared for my classical to get the short end of the stick, but was surprised and delighted to hear my favorite Chopin, Beethoven, et al playing clearly and normally through these headphones.In summary, these attractive headphones excel for their ease of use, comfort, and battery life. Their sound quality and audio balance is all-purpose, working well beyond adequately for any type of music, as well as phone calls or movies.Ver másVer menos
