Fantastic sound quality and great battery

Beats Solo Pro

The Beats Solo Pro headphones might be the latest in a long line of noise– cancelling headphones, but these beauties really stand out.

The new cans from Dr Dre look stunning; they’re also very powerful at kicking out sound and offer really impressive battery life. The headphones are available in six colors, including three More Matte options.

However, we’re surprised that you’re only provided with a soft, textured case — a hard case would have been more reassuring, especially given the price tag.

They power up when you unfold them. It’s great that they automatically switch off when folded up, but it’s not so handy that you manually have to pause the music if you tend to keep them round your neck. The physical button is on the right earcup only, which is inconvenient if you want to use your left hand to control volume, music playback, and Siri. With Apple’s H1 chipset onboard, the headphones offer hands–free Hey Siri, and the microphones ensure a reliable response to commands and voice clarity for calls, even in noisy locations such as train stations. Pairing is a breeze, and if you’re running iOS 13 you can easily share the sounds you’re streaming with other H1–enabled devices.
