    The headphones that are to be expected
    5 out of 5 stars
    The headphones that are to be expected
    A lot of people always seem to nitpick about about the items that they purchase off of Amazon. They always talk about how the sound quality could have been better, they always somehow find a reason that they think it's good enough to complain about the comfortability. Here's what I think about the beats that I bought: They are one of the best headphones a person can ask for. I do not understand why people tend to complain about the comfortability when they have cushions for your ears. That's what's really important when it comes to wearing headphones that goes over your head. The sound quality is exactly what you would expect from a popular company. The sound quality is amazing along with the different colors that you can buy. When I first bought my headphones I had a question mark over my head because it wasn't turning on, but that was only because it needed to be charged. And that is the beauty of Beats Solo 3, if your headphones is dead, you can also still play music with the wires, just simply plug it in your phone and in your Beats. I do not know if it is just me because due to the fact that I lost my other pair of Beats it's been such a long time since I touched it let alone wear it, they do seem to feel fragile, all the more reason to place a warranty on an item that happens to feel fragile. Now the question that everybody seems to be asking is "is it true that it only takes about 5 minutes to charge the headphones completely, and is it true that the battery life last up to 40 hours." Well the answer depends on how much you use your headphones. There is 5 LED lights that indicates the percentage of your battery of the headphones. If the LED light is on the third light, that just means that you are at least 50 to 75% of battery life left so in other words, it would take a roughly 5 to 10 minutes to charge it which isn't bad. But ultimately it is pretty fast when it comes to charging headphones especially when it turns out to be Wireless. The volume button Works along with the pause and play button, the button that turns on the wireless headphones work. It even makes that musical noise when you are officially connected to your device, and it does it again when you turn it off. I am able to extend the headphones. I am able to fold them which is a definitely a must for me because when I am finished with my headphones for the day I usually fold them. In conclusion, if something happens to your headphone such as a shortage on the right or left side of the headphones, if you have a warranty all you have to do is just call Apple and they should be able to fix it either call Apple or whatever warranty you are affiliated with. In addition, if you have a computer or a laptop you should download this beat app where you able to update the headphones, I will not go into details but you could always look it up on your spare time. With that being said I'm giving this product and five star and whoever purchase it in the future, I can almost guarantee that you will enjoy what you bought. Not to mention that this was on sale because originally it was $300. Now in the beginning of my review I was talking about how people tend to nitpick and and complain about things that can be easily fixed. And I was very serious about that, they are the ones who bought the item off of Amazon if something happens to that item it doesn't take as much to file a complain and get a refund and get your money back after you give them back what has been broken. Since a lot of people gave it a one-star, I had to double think about me buying this. But when I purchased it it turns out to be great just as I was expecting, no issues to the point where I would want a refund. Oh and by the way, the true difference between Beats Solo 3 wireless and Studio 3 is that studio 3 have the ability to cancel out noise, solo 3 although you are able to increase your volume the point where you are not able to hear a single thing from the outside world, there is still a chance where despite your volume being all the way up the environment that is around you could be louder than your music. So it is not fully a noise cancellation headphones. But these headphones are beneficial for me because I'm not always in an environment that is loud enough to where I have to blast it up to 100. And this is where my review ends

      I ordered the Beats Solo3 in Gold at the end of January and have not regretted it! The ear cushions are soft and comfortable and the entire headset is lightweight and can easily be worn for extended periods of time with only the mild discomfort which I would expect from having something pressed against my ear continually. The gold color is tasteful and pretty, without crossing over to ostentatious.

      The battery life is excellent. I have yet to run the battery below 45% and have only plugged them into the charger three times sense purchasing them -- twice being when they were still around 65%.

      The wireless range is impressive, as well. I live mainly in an old 1910 house, so the thick walls tend to get in the way of most signals, but I can still get a good two rooms away before the interference is noticeable with these headphones. When I'm staying in a newer building, I can walk the dog down the street with the headphones playing music from a device still inside without any problems at all.

      Additionally, I love using them for phone calls with my iPhone. The quality of the sound and ease of use in this regard is far superior to any arrangement I have used previously, such as wired headphones/earbuds or the native speakers of my Apple devices. If I'm having to ask people to repeat what they said, I can usually solve the problem by switching to the headphones. Some people have told me that they hear a slight amount of echo or feedback when I'm speaking through them, but it has not been a problem or interfered with any calls.

      The setup with both my iPhone and my iPad was ridiculously simple and painless, just as advertised.

      It was slightly harder to use them with my 2014 MacBook Pro. The setup was no more complex than connecting to any other bluetooth device, but the quality of sound when playing music from the computer leaves much to be desired. Through my other devices, the music is very clear, well balanced (for my tastes), and allows me to hear new variances and nuances in even my most familiar songs. However, when they were connected to my computer, vocals and higher registers sound muted and muffled, and a high pitched distortion tone was inescapable. I tried changing the volume and the equalizers and could not resolve the issue. Again -- this does NOT happen when they are connected to any other device. The headphones do not have any trouble with other types of audio from the computer, either. I have used them for watching Netflix from this same laptop with no problem what so ever. Connecting the headphones to the computer with their wire bypassed the music issue, but mostly I just listen to music through my iPhone or iPad, anyway. I should also note, that I have not had problems with music in shows or movies, so it is possible that the issue has since resolved itself through some general computer update.

      In general, I have no problems with the sound quality of these headphones. As I said above, the music is very clear, well balanced (for my tastes), and I have heard new variances and nuances in even my most familiar songs. I have happily used them to listen to a wide range of the genres that have been popular and on the airwaves over the last 10-20 years, as well as swing and old musical music. Having researched rather thoroughly before purchasing, I was prepared for my classical to get the short end of the stick, but was surprised and delighted to hear my favorite Chopin, Beethoven, et al playing clearly and normally through these headphones.

      In summary, these attractive headphones excel for their ease of use, comfort, and battery life. Their sound quality and audio balance is all-purpose, working well beyond adequately for any type of music, as well as phone calls or movies.
