Terrible long term wear and tear
I use my headphones for predominately travel - not really for everyday use as I use my Apple earbuds as they are easier to carry around. The ear protector material has flaked after not a lot of time or use. I am very disappointed about the quality of the materials that they have used given how much they cost. Will buy Bose next time.

Not worth the money!
I used this headphone very rarely, in both sides of handles some crack has appeared after a year!
So disappointed with Myer and Apple care (like my previous experiences with Apple for my apple watch and my iPhone ). It was a waste of money and I am regretting why I did not go for a Bose or Sennheiser headphone.

well made and very durable
Ive had these for about 2 months now and I musty have dropped them at least 20 times and they still work like they just came out of the box. would've given 5 stars if they were a bit more reasonably priced.

Easy listening
Though it carries the name of Beats, there is quite a wide range to select. The advantage of having the wireless Beats Solo3 is as stated, no cord being tangled whilst listening to music whilst on the go. These are good whilst walking and jogging. Honestly, uncertain regarding strenuous exercise. Regarding the sound, it is clear and depends on downloads of songs. Good clear clarity of download always makes a difference. The other advantage of the Beats Solo is that it isn’t total noise cancelling, therefore when out and about you are still awar...Read more

Such amazing sound
These are perfect to listening to your music or even audiobooks. They are a great size and fold down even small and have a case which helps protect them. I’m so glad I purchase these headphones

Not worth the money
I purchased the small size earphones, they are still too big. Constantly fall off my head during gym sessions. Cant use them for longer than 30 mins at a time due to the pressure it puts on my ears. sound quality I expected better for the price I paid.

Not made for exercise
I love my beats headphones, however, I bought them specifically for the gym and exercise. Unfortunately when you sweat in them it creates a putrid stained smell in the fabric. They are also to oversized for my head, and will fall down when I’m running or doing burpees. Great for someone just listen to music while studying or on a plane

Beats Solo 3 perfect purchase
When I use my Beats Solo3 headphones I mainly listen to RnB & Old School RnB.
The headphones are nothing shy perfection at its best.
Whether I'm on the train from work, working out at the gym or going for a run the Beats Solo3 headphone sit quite comfortably with it staying on your head without it falling off.
I've had my Beats headphone for the past 12 months and with the clear quality I havent even come close to maximum volume.

so simple for me to either watch tv/movie or play my PS4. Battery life for the wireless can easily last more than 4-6 hours a night for the current week without needing to recharge. If i could give a rating out of 11/10 I would because the Beat Solo3 Headphones are simply the best.Purchased in March 2021 at JB Hi-Fi for $400.00.

Hot dayum! That battery life though!
These headphones found me. I got them as a promotional gift when I upgraded my phone. Prior to I was sporting a very cheap pair of wireless headphones from Typo. I am not sure how much these bad boys go for, but I am pretty accustomed to them now and would struggle to revert back to my el cheapo pair, or heaven forbid, sans wireless. I mostly use my headphones at the gym. Running, weights, even when doing yoga - they don't get in the way or fall off. Sound quality is very good (best I have ever known). Oh and the battery life. I literally never charge these. It's astounding.

Good head phone
I use Beats Solo 3 headphone daily. Switching between iPhone Xs or Mac Book Pro is super easy.
Excellent battery life. Sound quality is great but not the best.
On-ear controls such as volume up, down and play, pause are easy to use.
One and only my complaint is wearing this head phone long time makes little pain in the auricle.

Heavy and totally impractical for gym use
I have used these headphones at the gym on two occassions now and have found them to be heavy and fall off my head when lying on my back or leaning forward to exercise. The sound is ok but overall these are horrible for the gym and a complete waste of money. They are ok if exercising in an upright position but forget it for any other position. I spend more time putting the damn things back on my ears/head than exercising. Unless you have a larger than average headsize I would strongly suggest you try these on your head before buying.....wish I had. In summary, these are not suitable for general gym use.

Love it! Great for listening to music while excising
Great for listening to a wide variety of music. Have had absolutely no quality issues. Being wireless I really enjoy using the Beats headphones while excising. The ear pieces themselves are quite small but they do fit securely.

Great product - Just highly priced
Great all around. Sound isolating is good but not what it's priced at. Quality of music is fantastic.
I would recommend getting a similar product for a better price, you will find plenty of the same quality. You pay for the brand name with this one.

Stylish and sounds great
It took me forever to find the right wireless headphones for me as I’m picky with sound quality. The Beats were a little bit out of my price range but I have no regrets. The Beats have the best bass in my opinion and they also look great and aren’t bulky looking as well. Works perfectly with my iPhone and the battery seems to last forever. I use it when exercising, at the gym, and on flights. After a while though they tend to hurt my ears as the padding doesn’t sit over the ears but on them. This is if you wear the headphones for long hours such as on a flight. But otherwise highly recommend them .

In my own world with my beats on!
These provide awesome sound quality and while I’m working out at the gym I never have an issue. I listen to a variety of music and the sound quality is great. They fold up for easy storage too.
Charge lasts well!

Beats are over rated but theyre still decent headphones just not as good as the hype around them.
For high end headphones they arent that great youre probably better off going with bose or something like that these are more of a middle class headphone if you compared them to say sony there wouldnt be much difference.

Questions & Answers
Jason Hasked
Does it seem like complete rubbish, or even hatchet jobs that all but one review from every review with 1 - 3 stars are not verified purchases? Also, the one review that is a verified purchase explains that his purchase was a gift?
I know, right??
Next, a lot of there faults people are finding in these are that they're falling off the heads of owners while they're working out, when in fact they're simply not the sharpest tools in the shed in the first place by not buying the much more activity styled earbud type??
I'm thinking of purchasing a set, and I can't help but wonder why all of the lower scores recorded seem especially nonsensical and by non-verified purchases
2 answers
Ok, Jason. I’m the verified buyer. Purchased 2 sets, the Black/Red & the Limited edition Mickey 90th. I too read the reviews and wonder when one is purchasing an item they need to look at all aspects. Whether it’s Beats or any other brand, headphones have their own purpose. The whole overview of this item is it’s use. The clarity is great, it’s wireless and at this stage tested to up to 3 metres, they are comfortable around the ears and head, stylish. As per previous notes, personally designed for walking, light jogging ie. everyday use. Personally, as first time a Beats users, am very happy.
Hope this has aided your question.
Thank you for the reply but no, Mortishia, no you're not. I asked about the people who rated these in their reviews of this product with 1 - 3 stars. with only one of them listed as a verified purchase, but who actually received these as a gift.
Most others who rated them higher were verified, and it's only the lower ratings that aren't verified and, as such, I was wondering if they were possibly running with agendas who're just out to slag the competition...
It just seems a little odd ;-)
Charmaine Cooganasked
I have the beats set and the right hand side has some sort of a wire problem. It cuts in and out like the wire isn't connected correctly.
1 answer
Hi Charmaine,
I too have the same issue but it may just be wear/tear depending on how long you have them.
If the beats are fairly new you should be able to go back to the manufacture and get a replacement wire should it still be under warranty.
Abbyasked
Is it worth buying and how long do they headphones last before breaking?
