hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room give you guys a look at the beats solo 3 wireless headphones from Apple these things I'll admit looked nearly identical to the last generation but there's some new tech on the inside that would be very interesting to go over I personally paid for these at the retail price of two hundred and ninety nine dollars making this hippie premium price point of headphones but despite being expensive its equal to what Bose is offering and is actually cheaper than these Sony Huron I had reviewed several months back what I'll do I'll leave my links in the video description below click on my links and they'll give you the most updated prices in real time so my channel is here to help you make a purchase decision welcome everyone to jim's review room going over the physical features first they are literally identical to the last generation the same layout was here and as much as Apple has been pushing for lightning connections surprisingly they kept with a microUSB port which I'm perfectly fine with I'll be honest with you about that as I still have plenty of USB connections around the house the 3.5 millimeter analog connection is not officially dead just yet so we get that here and then rotating just a bit you have the same vibe up and down tapping right in the middle right on the logo gives you pause and play if you do hold it down it'll give you Siri Google Voice or s voice for those on Samsung as I've tested and proven to work here now the same build quality returns with either the very fingerprint perm glossy finishes or what I have here is a special edition silver and white with chrome accents looking amazing in my opinion now the chrome accents on the arms seems to be holding up well but the beats logo has already started to show some minor scratches from possibly being in my bag or rustling against some sort of fabric the arms are still reinforced by metal and despite the entire outside of the headphones being made of plastic they still feel well made and pretty decent in the hands here when handling now during my stress test and keep in mind beats are not like the very first generation where we did see them fall apart but I did notice some seams did out here and to be fair they did snap back and a little bit bummed that that did happen I didn't see that on any other pair of headphones that I've done the same stress test too I did double-check though and nothing was compromised nothing was broken and I'm aware this test is pretty extreme here but seriously if you're not doing what I'm doing which I'm pretty sure you're not I'm certain your headphones are going to last as for comfort right out of the box they do squeeze the head somewhat medium to moderate levels of firmness causing my ears to slightly warm up a bit for the first 30 minutes but afterwards my ears do acclimate and feel fine now there's no pressure at the drawing thank goodness where it pinches your head and then wearing these for several hours straight thankfully again no pressure or soreness at the crown of the head was noticed either now I also weighed these solo threes against the solo twos and they both weigh the same as well that would have assumed what maybe a gram or two difference for Apple finding some space to stick in their new chip but I start talking about the internals here the solo threes has this new w1 chip inside give me some better battery management the old Sola tooth claims to get up to 12 hours of use this time up to 40 hours as claimed now I left this on at about 50 to 60% volume and they played day and night and I recorded 52 hours of straight use which is insane and at 50 to 60 percent environment it was plenty loud for casual listening now an additional feature Apple calls it fast feel when your battery is low charge it for just five minutes and you get three hours of playback instantly now testing this it does work and it's amazing when you're in a crunch now because of the w1 chip we're anticipating better wireless range Apple features what they call a class one connection offering connections up to 300 linear feet with class 2 like most other headphones on the market including solo twos the range on those are always around 30 linear feet now it's at the range in my house here walk from one side of the house to the other leg this thing will go through several walls and of course the first floor ceiling and there's not even a hint of a disconnection or distortion static even the signals possibly the best net tested so far and a pair of headphones and last before jumping into the audio test sound leaking wise when you are wearing these and maybe on the train or in a cafe in a quiet environment essentially the solo theories performed ok there is some I'm leaking you do hear the VOC was pretty well especially again those quiet areas so now that the moment you've been waiting for the audio test first off the solo2 wireless sounds identical to the solo three Wireless so cutting to the chase if you're going to shell out another $300 for beats and already have the solitudes you're really just paying for the crazy good battery life and these signal performance of course that's up to you if that's worth it leave a comment down below if you're anticipating on upgrading now switching the old model with the new repeatedly over summer songs I'll be honest I honestly could even tell a difference yet with that being said if you are looking for basic headphones beats once again provides that if you're a bass head it hits deep it provides that nice Rumble for hip-hop and select pop music more bass than these Sennheiser urbanite svey moto Wireless the Sony Hurons and Sennheiser wireless momentum just to name a few here but if you're that type that enjoys a more of a balanced sound signature something that doesn't sound bass boosted you'll notice the upper bass frequencies and a solo 3s and solo to is of course someone gets into the mid-range the upper bass frequencies overshadows some leave vocals and some songs now regarding the vocals and the mid-range frequencies by themselves they still do very well they're clear there are tickle it and pronounced but again once in a while you get bass levels coming over and those select songs now the higher frequencies performs well without getting anywhere close to being too sharp or ear tinging which is a lot of discomfort for me a little bit more sharpness would have been nice though to really hear the details on the top end but again these are truly bass focused headphones now if you're listening to a quality bitrate audiophile the soundstage and these are impressive with sounds being distinguished from left and right to in front hand behind you and then last regarding passive noise isolation or blocking out outside and unwanted noises when you're wearing these they did really well it's not close to active noise cancelling of course but good performers nonetheless so overall with all biases aside and all some people dislike beads some people love beats if you are looking for bass beat headphones are honestly one of the best choices for sure the bass may be overwhelming for some even giving some listening fatigue for others yet in every other aspect the better life is phenomenal the range is good passive noise isolation is done well in a soundstage is great the solo still look really good with amazing finishes but new have are really putting out newer and more fresh designs and I'm shocked Apple didn't redesigned these are just even updated these at all but hey if I'm broken why fix it right so that's it for this review be sure to LIKE and subscribe if you haven't already and always add me on to Facebook Twitter or Instagram the accounts are
