Beate solo three just like the new powerbeats three the solo three look almost identical to the previous generation counterpart the real upgrade here is all under the hood these bad boys retail for $2.99 95 and they come in eight different colors these headphones work the money let's find out the packaging here is much better than the powerbeats 3 we reviewed a few weeks back first you're gonna find the headphones themselves inside the carrying case more in the case in a few under that you're gonna find some documentation or into information and a beach sticker if you want to give them free promo underneath all of that you're gonna find the cable with an inline controller fairly similar to the ones found out of Palm Beach 3 a carabiner that you can attach to the carrying case and a micro USB cable you have to bring your own wall board for this one and it's kind of disappointing that phones themselves are made mostly out of plastic we've got the glossy white version here which is just going to be a fingerprint magnet the headband itself is padded and has a rubber feel to it so it stays in place when it's on your head the air comes themselves are very supple and look to be made out of leather but who knows it could be faux leather the headphones are lightweight and comfortable enough to wear all day long although they fit rather snug the super soft ear cups get my delicate and dainty ears cool and comfortable even after extended use the hinges were made out of the metal and allow for the headphones to fold and get compact for storage and travel only time will tell if the hinges will stand up to extended views build quality of the solo 3 is ok no beats has never really been known for their build or sound quality but where beats is currently excelling right now is in the battery life Department the beats solo 3 has a drastically improved battery life of 40 hours versus the 12 hours of the beats solo2 offer the beats solo 3 also has fast fuel which will get you 3 hours of playing from just 5 minutes of charging I like that on the bottom of the right ear cup you're gonna find the power button when they turn on they will show you a fuel gauge reminiscent to the one on a Macbook that will show you the current battery level the beats volute 3 in charge of your micro USB cable which I find odd because I thought Apple would have swapped it out for a lightning port by now just like the power beats 3 the beats solo 3 also features Apple's new w1 chip that was introduced back in September in their iPhone 7 keynote the W 1 chip helps these earphones be energy efficient all while providing a strong and clear wireless connection with your Apple devices I found these headphones have a 50 foot range with direct line of sight and no obstacles in the way pairing is super easy it's almost automatic the Porter's the w1 chip allows for the headphones to automatically pair with all other Apple devices associated to iCloud account this means if you're listening to music on your iPhone but then you want to listen to music or watching videos on your Mac iPad or Apple watch all you have to do is switch the source onset device this is a taste of Apple's truly wireless and hassle free future now don't worry if you don't have an iPhone or a deeply embedded into Apple's ecosystem the beats solo 3 can still connect to non Apple devices via standard Bluetooth just press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to start the pairing process to connect with your Android device the sound quality headphones is practically the same as a powerbeats2 they do have a deep bass and are best suited for hip-hop R&B techno or dance music you can control your music by pressing one of the three buttons found on the left ear cup press up or down to adjust the volume press the beats logo once to play or pause your music double tap the beats logo to skip a song triple tap the beats logo to go back a track or press and hold the beats logo to activate Siri you can also accept or end cause by pressing the beats logo as well these headphones have a built-in microphone so you can argue with the Siri or wirelessly take calls now you may be wondering what about to include a cable does it help great questions Jimmy yes can I click the headphones directly to your phone does improve the sound quality slightly not drastically when using a wired connection the headphones won't draw power from their internal battery and all control functions will be moved to the inline controller it's a great option if you can't connect to bluetooth for some reason or if your battery is completely dead the carrying case here is a letdown yet again like the poppy spray I don't know this is a form of cost-cutting on apples or beets behalf but if I'm paying upwards of $300 for some headphones I would expect to get a decent carrying case that will protect them from getting crushed in my bag the case offers minimal padding and is water-resistant at least so what's the verdict on the Beats lo3 it's a mixed bag they aren't the best sounding headphones on the market the build quality is okay and they're pretty expensive on the other hand they have a battery life that's just ridiculously long and are huge convenience if you have multiple Apple devices if you're looking for headphones to work out with then you should consider the powerbase 3 or the jrx 3 links
