Beats has made lots of great headphones. Here I am going to show you my Beats Solo3 review that includes a lot of interesting information about the wireless device. First, I would like to mention that these headphones are on-ear and have a closed-back design.
Beats Solo3 review
Features
The user of this appliance can use Siri for adjusting the volume or switching a track. To add, Beats Solo3 supports Bluetooth. Its rechargeable battery can work up to 40 hours. For this, you have to charge it for 2 hours. However, if you have no time, a speed charge is available. Moreover, you will have a free-battery listening mode.
Sound
The Beats Solo3 specs let it to provide the bass that hits pretty hard. The music with this device gets super loud. It is not sluggish or super-boomy like low-quality bassy headphones. The considered headphones have pretty reserved treble, and very smooth mids, which means that there is nothing to cut through the low-end in tracks with incredibly strong bass lines or mixes with boisterous kick drums.
Noise cancelling
The headphones made by Beats do not have noise-cancelation.
Connectivity
This appliance comes with a cable that is 130 cm/4.2 ft long. The audio cable can be detached. The headphones have a 3.5 mm TRS.

Comfort and design
Beats Solo3 is perfect for traveling since they are lightweight and foldable. This device weighs only 215 g/7.58 oz. It has a quite comfortable adjustable headband and a built-in microphone. Plus, the headphones are equipped with built-in buttons for control.
The Solo3 has a light indication that warns you when the battery is low. You get this device with a carry case.
