Beats Solo3 'Decade Collection' Bluetooth Headphone Review

[dalethorn]

My full review of the new Beats Solo3 "Decade Collection" headphone - likely a purely cosmetic difference from the late-2016 original Solo3. Bluetooth == yes, Noise Canceling == no.

Last night, after 22 days using this Beats Solo3 Bluetooth On-Ear headphone, the original factory charge finally ran out and so I recharged it. I averaged at least 2 hours per day listening in Bluetooth mode for the past two weeks, and 4 hours/day or better the first week, while listening and running tests. That amounts to about 60 hours by my estimate, whereas the Solo3 is rated for 40 hours runtime per charge. This battery performance adds to my other impressions of quality for this headphone. But I must reiterate that this Solo3 was purchased at an Apple Store, whereas many if not most of the Beats reviews seen on Amazon U.S. and U.K. are from customers who purchased clones from non-authorized sources.

Beats headphones give me a flashy feeling. On the contrary, some niche brands of headphones give me a very good experience, like Naenka, TOZO, Skullcandy.

I use at times power beats pro ear buds
once you get the fit to match how you like the sound they are very good. blue tooth headphones can sound good but I feel wired with a good amp is levels above them.
food for thought if you use headphones or ear buds often it seems to effect norm speakers listening for a short while
