I have had these for a few months now and the battery life in them is great, lasting me around the 40hrs as described. The only complaint compared to the old ones is they may seem to have not as much bass as the Solo2's, maybe this is why the battery lasts longer?

These headphones are on the whole, great. The sound is fantastic, the battery life is amazing, and they even work really well for phone calls.
The problem: The actual on ear part of the headphone is way too small. I'm a big guy, with decent size ears, so I wondered if it was just me, but my much smaller and more petite wife has the same problem.
You just can't wear them too long because your ears just hurt from being squashed.
So that's my only issue. In every other way, they're great.

Beats solo are amazing crystal sound you haven’t heard the songs you love till you hear them through beats and you won’t believe the sound until you try them. Never need to have on full volume not even close enjoy music and games wireless makes them easy to use and easy to have on you no tangles slip on you’re neck and forget about them until you need to use them beats solo are comfy I do find even on the smallest setting that they are a bit big and slip a little but not to complained about they still stay on my head really beats are a great product definitely delivers on what is promised if your not satisfied with the sounds of beats I dare

I love my beats solo3! The sound is amazing and it cancel out all noise which is so good. It being wireless just make it so easy and smooth to just pop them on your head press the button and you are connected to your phone via Bluetooth. The battery life is super good and last for a really long time.

Fantastic looking lightweight earphones.Very light and slim design. Solid despite being so lightweight.
Fantastic sound quality my husband loves that they are Bluetooth. He listens to music in bed every night to help him to sleep. He says they are the best earphones he has ever had. I agree with this.

Love the sound and battery life but I don't find them very comfy, especially when having them on for more than 15 minutes. Their round shape does not fit the natural ear shape so it creates some pressure points which are hard to ignore. I've since tried other oval shaped headphones which were a much better fit with zero pain and pressure.

I needed headphones and knew I didnt want Beats. I felt they were overhyped, on trend and probably junk. I wanted Sennheisers. After listening to my music through EVERYTHING, I was blown away by the Beats. Gorgeous,clear sound, handles bass and treble equally well. Easy to charge, connect, take calls if you want to (I disconnected that feature), just amazing. A little painful after extended wear of the on ear style with sunglasses or cartiladge piercings but thats the case with all on ear, not just these. Excellent, quality headphones.

I have the ‘on ear’ solo 3s and I find them super comfy and the quality very good. The only downside is I find as they sit on the ear you can still hear my music playing if you were standing next to me. I thought they were similar to noise cancelling headphones. But I am very happy with my headphones :)

Got this for Christmas as a gift because I really wanted them. Ended up returning them a few days later luckily they kept the receipt... Disappointing. Sound is so bad. Breaks up when you walk around aren't they meant to be great while moving?? sounds like theres someone opening a packet of chips in the background in every song! Compared to my $9.00 headphones from Officeworks which are 10x better. I can't believe how overpriced and overrated these headphones are. You are paying for the NAME. I repeat you are paying for the NAME.

Best Buy yet. Fantastic, Clear sound. They don’t state they are noise cancelling headphones however they cancel out all background noise which was an added bonus. I’ve had them since January and haven’t charged them once apart from the when I bought them. Great selection of colour. Would highly recommend

I have had these headphones for 9 months now and I have to say they are very good, the sound and bass quality is excellent and you simply cant beat the battery life and charge times, I was shocked that you could get 48 hours from this thing and put it on charge for 5 minutes to get hours more of battery! The design of the headphones is also apparent given the amount of comfort they provide when wearing them, my only problem with them is that they are quite expensive and you can get better headphones for cheaper prices but they are still some of the best on the market, would recommend to others!

Love this design, got the Matte black from Apple Sydney store. This design pairs a lot of my clothing. Love the fact it noise cancel for plane use and on the train. It has a great battery life and I could use it for days without charging and on long train rides. would recommend for everyone.

I like this earphones so much!!! As it is so good looking with that cool “b” and my name is started with b so i think it is my personal earphones! The sound comes out really great! No matter i am listening to music or watching a video, it is just prefect

So comfortable to wear and easy to transport ! Loving the wireless headphone look and feel. Makes life so much more convienient without the cable... easier at gym and in general life. The bluetooth systems connects incredibly fast and easily to both my iphone and mac, and takes calls very efficiently.

Purchased a set of Beats Solo3 headphones in January. Super impressed! Sound quality is awesome and they are extremely comfortable. I had high expectations in terms of the quality, sound and comfort, but they were all exceeded. I will definitely be recommending these headphones to my family and my friends.

Great device which is compatible with the i phone! You will get the feeling of live music experience. The Beats Solo3 Wireless got me very excited for the future of wireless headphones, just not for the Solo3. Connecting to iOS is a breeze and the benefits of the W1 chip range from a simple pairing process, to an insane battery life. In my opinion the build and sound quality are both issues, but let's be honest.

These headphones have the best sound of any i've used on the market. The noise cancellation on these is awesome compared to other competitors models. This then in turn makes the sound awesome. The pairing of high quality speakers and the noise cancelation makes them perfect for travelling. The wireless function also gets rid of those annoying cables.

Bought as a Xmas pressie for the boy. Likes his thumping beats and the wireless function (uses bluetooth) means no cable to get squashed, kinked or damaged. Son say they are comfortable and makes his music sound great. battery life is ok and bluetooth paring was fairly simple to set up.

I’ve been wanting these for so long now that I finally invested in a pair of matte pinky white ones this year! I am so in love with them. The sound is great, they can get really load, super comfy, fast charging, beautiful colour selection and it even comes with its own storage bag. I this it was an amazing investment.

Purchased these headphones so I could drown out awful crying babies on flights.
Then my volume completely up - close my eyes and it’s like those terrible children don’t exist. Bliss.

So they definitely do the job I bought them for.
Only con I would note is how uncomfortable they get after a short amount of time.
I really only purchased these for flights as I’m constantly flying domestically. The one hour flights, no issue. But on the longer flights, say Melbourne to Perth - these are a killer. I can’t wear them the entire flight without my ears killing me or them giving me a splitting headache.
So that’s really my only downfall.

But the colour of the headphones and sound is fantastic.
