[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the operation of the beats headphones are above the rest of the competition. The headphones operate on a variety of functions such noise cancellations, taking calls along with the ability to use amongst different devices with quick charging ability. It can be tough to overlook a lack of comfort, but there’s a beats flex review ton to like here. The Solo Pro has Apple’s H1 chip inside, so features like fast pairing and hands-free Siri are included. As someone who uses wireless headphones or earbuds everyday, it’s so nice to not have to suffer with a Bluetooth menu. And being able to summon Siri with my voice instead of having to reach for a button is a small, but welcome, respite.
However, as the carrying case is made from felt, so it is not super durable. It will protect the headphones, but not as well as a hard case, and can tear or rip. They are superior headsets for flying, traveling, and working in the workplace.
In a departure from their early noise cancelling models, Beats hit the nail on the head with its on-ear ANC technology in the Beats Solo Pro. It uses real-time audio calibration to automatically adjust noise cancelling intensity. A big problem with on-ears is their inability to passively isolate listeners from their surroundings. If you can’t get a good seal with the headphones, ANC is usually a lost cause. The clamping force of the headset is so great, however, that a secure fit is easy to come by.
They have a more stable fit, have an active noise cancelling system that significantly blocks out more ambient sound, and have a wireless design. They also have an H1 chip, which allows you to pair these headphones to your Apple devices. The Beats Solo Pro Wireless and the JBL Tour One Wireless are similarly performing headphones and depending on your usage, you may prefer either one.
The Drop are audiophile over-ear headphones that are more comfortable, have a significantly better battery performance, and can pair with up to two devices at a time. They have better build quality, a more neutral default sound profile, which some users may prefer, and active noise cancelling, which can help block noise around you. The AKG K712 PRO and the Beats Solo Pro Wireless are designed for different purposes. The AKG are over-ears that are suitable for neutral sound. They have a comfortable fit, a better passive soundstage performance, and come with a coiled audio cable, which some users may prefer.
They’re also better-made, a little easier to carry around, and block out a lot more ambient noise courtesy of their ANC system. Meanwhile, the Astro aren’t Bluetooth-compatible but offer lower wireless audio latency when using their wireless USB dongle, which is good for gaming. Their boom mic also delivers superior recording quality and noise handling capability than the Beats’ integrated unit. The Sennheiser HD 599 and the have different strengths, and you may prefer either one. The Sennheiser are open-back over-ears designed for audiophiles.
