In May 2014 Apple announced that they are going to acquire Beats Music and Beats electronics which cost $3 billion. Why was Apple ready to pay such huge money for beats? Because they wanted to have an on-demand subscription service to keep up with the industry's pivot, and it's better and convenient to buy it rather than make it. So how is the combination of Apple and beat and how is this product called Solo pro? I will say it's good but not the best, why? Let's see
Pros:
Cons:
Sound
Build
Comfort
Value
Bottom Line:
iPhone users will get the most out of it because it has an H1 chip. Great active noise canceling and solid battery life make it a must-have great ANC on-ear headphones but comfort is the issue that steals the crown. if you can bear with that pressure on your head it's a great deal. Also, I can't forget to tell you about its mature appearance.
Except for the comfort issue, I didn't find any downside. If you can bear with that pressure on your head go for it. It's a very nice headphone with a solid battery, great ANC, fast fuel charging, and various colour options that looks stylish and cool.
How is the Design and Build Quality of Beats Solo Pro?
When we think about the design of on-ear headphones these things come into our minds. Comfort, Style, Fit, build quality. Beats Solo Pro is a stylish noise-cancelling On-ear headphone that looks attractive and glossy. Beats Pro gives you 6 colour options Black, Grey, red, Dark Blue, Ivory, and Light Blue. That means designers took the look and style seriously and worked on it.
Matte finish and soft touch all the way around. You don't get any fingerprint marks after using it. nice build quality. Sturdy build that goes last long. It has a metal body that slides up and down to adjust for perfect fitting. Style, Build quality, fit everything is good but what's about comfort? This is the area where Solo pro disappointed me. It clamps your ears so tightly that feels uncomfortable. Though it is rigid this rigidity kills comfort and gives pressure on your head. If you can ignore that pressure Beats Solo pro is great from the design point of view.
Once you wear it the journey starts and you will come to know why people loved beats pro so much. It automatically turns on when you wear it and gets off when you take it out that saving your work. You get the control features on the right-hand side. Single push for the play and pause, Double for the next, and triple for the previous track. just a single button, no complicated bunch of control buttons that annoys you.
Surprisingly it doesn't have a 3.5 mm audio jack. Is Apple seriously thinking about eliminating that 3.5 mm input? Can we see the same picture in upcoming models? That same right-hand side control has a volume up and down function. On the left, it has a button to turn on and off the transparency mode. That's all about the design and build.
How is the Sound Performance of Beats Solo Pro?
You will get the two modes of sound. The first is Active Noise Cancelling and the second is transparency Mode. I must say that it's truly dedicated to Active noise cancellation. ANC works superbly. Heavy Bass and highs while mids are well and balanced. It delivers crystal clear sound so that you can hear and feel the music and beat of the music. As I said It has a transparency mode that allows you to stay aware of your surroundings.
It's Apple Beats Solo Pro so obviously, your expectations are high. Though the microphone is good I expect something more. It has beam-forming mics. In short, it's good when we talk about the sound quality of beats solo pro. Though I need to improve microphone performance.
How is the Connectivity of Beats Solo Pro?
These are Class 1 Bluetooth 5.0 headphones. You might be thinking what is Class 1. There are 3 types of classes and according to classes, the range varies. Class 1 has the highest range that is up to 300 feet. Most of the Bluetooth devices have class 2 Bluetooth but beats Solo pro beat the others with its class 1 Bluetooth 5.0 technology. Due to excellent connection strength, you experience rare dropouts. H1 chip also did a great job of making a connection stronger. Beats Pro connects faster and stays stable with the H1 chip that also saves battery.
How is the Charging and Battery performance of Beats Solo Pro?
In a single word. excellent performance. Beats Solo pro gives 22 hours of battery life with the ANC mode and it can be extended up to 40 hrs when you turn ANC and transparency mode off and they give what they claimed. Fast fuel charging makes it easy to charge and the H1 chip practically improved battery life. It does not have an ON/OFF button which helps to increase the battery. Many times you forget to turn off the headphones that kill the battery.
Solo Pro has an auto ON/OFF function. Fast fuel charging works so amazingly. It gives 3 hours of playtime with just 10 minutes of charging. No need to down your mood if the battery is low. just wait for 10 minutes and it's done for the rest of your day.
