According to our headphones expert
The Beats Solo Pro you are on-ear headphones that mute ambient noise. This means you don't have to turn up the music in a noisy office or in a busy train. If the noise canceling is switched on, the battery lasts 22 hours. Is the battery empty? After 10 minutes of charging, you can use the headphones for 3 hours. Thanks to Apple's built-in H1 chip, the headphones automatically connect to all your iCloud devices, such as your iPhone and MacBook. The headphones no longer have a physical on/off button. If you fold the headphones, they turn off and if you unfold them, they turn back on.
Sound according to expert
These headphones have a reasonably neutral sound profile. As a result, the music almost sounds like the artist intended. The lowest bass sounds are emphasized, which makes the deepest bass sound a bit more rounded. The mid tones are neutral, so instruments and vocals are neither emphasized nor dampened. Because these headphones don't have an equalizer to adjust the audio manually, you're dependent on the factory settings.
Note: Beats does include a charging cable, but no charger. Use your own accessories, or purchase them separately.

The first thing I notice about the Beats Solo Pro is that they are on-ear headphones with noise canceling. This is rare, as on-ear headphones allow more ambient noise to pass through than over-ear headphones. Still, the noise canceling works well and I hear almost nothing from my surroundings. The headphones are just very tight on my head.
Noise canceling does its job well Because on-ear headphones do not completely close your ears, I was skeptical about the noise canceling at the beginning. But after listening once in a busy room, I notice how good the noise canceling is. Both at the office and on the road I am cut off from the environment and I am completely absorbed in my favorite music.
Detailed sound Beats headphones are known to me for audio products with a solid bass. With the Solo Pro, the bass is not powerful and I think that's a shame. Because the low tones are less powerful, the highs sound more detailed. That makes the sound clear and beautiful, but it lacks power.
Quick connect to my iPhone I hold the Solo Pro about 30 centimeters away from my iCloud devices and the headphones are recognized immediately. This is due to the H1 chip that is in both my phone and headphones. This way I am quickly connected every time and I never manually connect the headphones to my iPhone again.
Wearing comfort has a disadvantage While listening, it is noticeable that the headphones are very tight. At first this isn't a big deal, since it doesn't fall off my head easily. But after an hour it starts to pinch on my head. After 2 hours my ears start to hurt and the headband starts to irritate. A long listening session of several hours is not possible with the Solo Pro.

The first thing you notice about these headphones is the build quality - it's many times better than previous Beats headphones. Pairing with Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or Mac) is very simple and fast. The sound quality is good, but not as good as, for example, the Sony WH-1000XM3. The sound is nicely balanced, with slight emphasis on the bass and treble (relative to the middle). The noise cancellation works very well too, however the Solo Pro has quite a high clamp force (pressure) on the head to make sure there is a good seal and the noise cancellation works well.
This was the reason for me to return the headphones. I don't have a big head, but the headphones don't feel comfortable, especially compared to good over-ear headphones. After 30 minutes I really wanted to take the headphones off. If you spend $300 on a pair of headphones, they should be comfortable, which was not the case for me with the Solo Pro headphones.
It's a shame, because otherwise it's a great thing!

Very happy with these beautiful, fine on-ear headphones. I don't really understand why it falls in the middle segment and not in the top segment. For example, it is much nicer than the latest Sony. Sound is slightly better, but that is an over-ear and it looks like princess Leia. The colors of these Beats are also
