The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless are decent mixed usage headphones with a reasonably balanced sound profile. They're almost identical to the Beats Solo2 Wireless but have a better range and battery life thanks to the W1 chip. They're comfortable but fit a bit tight on the head, so they're not ideal for long listening sessions. Unfortunately, they also have fairly weak noise isolation, so they won't be ideal headphones to use in noisy environments.

Our Verdict

6.8 Mixed Usage

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless are fair for mixed use. They're versatile headphones that deliver a decently balanced sound with a slight emphasis on bass. Although they struggle in loud environments, their comfortable and wireless design makes them a viable choice at the gym. The long battery life is also a plus if you're always on the go.

Pros
  • Sturdy design.
  • Excellent wireless range and battery life.
Cons
  • Poor noise isolation.
  • Leaky at higher volumes.
7.2 Neutral Sound

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless are satisfactory for neutral sound. Their powerful bass caters decently well to instruments and vocals, although they sound slightly more muddy compared to some other neutral listening models. Unfortunately, due to their small, circular, and closed-back ear cups, they won't have the best soundstage.

6.8 Commute/Travel

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless are okay for commuting. They have an efficient and straightforward control scheme. They have a great battery life, and they're also somewhat compact, which makes them a bit easier to carry around on your person. However, they don't isolate well in loud environments, which isn't ideal for commuting or traveling.

7.4 Sports/Fitness

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless are on-ears, so they may not be the best choice for sports and fitness. While they have a tight fit, they're still bulky and can fall off your head with high-intensity movement. Their ear cups also get a little steamy when exercising for long periods since they trap heat. They lack an IP rating for water resistance, too, but that's to be expected by their design.

6.6 Office

Fair for office use. They won't isolate well in a loud, lively office, and they leak a bit at higher volumes, so your coworkers might hear what you're listening to. They have a good wireless range, so if you pair them to your PC, you can walk around in your office. They're also decently comfortable.

5.6 Wireless Gaming

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless are disappointing for gaming. You can only use them via Bluetooth on PC. However, they have a mediocre microphone and slightly too much latency to be suitable for gaming.

7.2 Wired Gaming

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless are decent for wired gaming. These headphones come with an in-line microphone audio cable. While you won't be able to use the microphone when plugged into an Xbox One, you can receive audio. On PS4, however, you can use both the microphone and receive audio.

6.1 Phone Calls

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless are mediocre for phone calls. The microphone has trouble separating speech from ambient noise in moderate to loud environments, while its overall recording quality muffles your voice. You should still be understandable on the other end of the phone, but you probably don't want to be making calls in busy restaurants.

Compared To Other Headphones

Comparison picture

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless are on-ear headphones that deliver a well-balanced sound profile. They're wireless and have a great range and battery life, but they can be a bit tight on the head and lack decent isolation for noisy environments.

See our recommendations for the best noise cancelling headphones and the best on-ear headphones.

Beats Studio3 Wireless

The Beats Studio3 Wireless are slightly better headset than the Beats Solo3 Wireless, thanks to noise cancellation. The Studio3 isolate a bit better in noisy conditions, which makes them a better option for commuting and travel than the Solo3. They also have a more comfortable over-ear design that most may prefer over the on-ear fit of the Solo3. The Solo3, on the other hand, are a bit more compact and have a much better battery life than the Studio variant. They also have a greater wireless range and better latency performance.

Beats Solo Pro Wireless

The Beats Solo Pro Wireless are a nice upgrade over the Beats Solo3 Wireless. They have active noise cancelling, which is very useful in public transit or at the office. However, the Pro are a bit too tight for some, and the Solo3 feel more comfortable. On the other hand, the Pro feel more high-end and more durable. They both have a fairly similar sound profile, but the Pro are a bit more neutral.

Beats Solo3 2019 Wireless

The Beats Solo3 2019 Wireless are the next generation of the Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless. They're almost identical in design and are very similarly performing. This model also has a companion app that can be used on Android in addition to iOS. That said, the 2018 model includes an audio cable so that you can listen to audio passively. You need to buy this cable separately if you want to use your 2019 model wired.

Beats Solo 2 Wireless

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless are slightly better headphones than the Beats Solo 2 Wireless. While both headphones have a similar sound profile, the Solo3 have a noticeably better battery life with about 40 hours of continuous playback. They also take advantage of the W1 chip on iOS devices, which the Solo 2 don’t do. Design-wise, there isn’t much difference between the two models. 

Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018

The Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018 are better wireless headphones if you prefer over-ears; however, if you want a more portable on-ear design, then go for the Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless. The Bose are more comfortable, and most may prefer their over-ear fit compared to the on-ear design of the Beats. The Bose are also noise cancelling headphones that can give you some peace and quiet during long flights or commutes. On the upside, the Beats have a more portable on-ear design and are more stable for the gym. They also have a better wireless range and a longer battery life than the Bose.

Bose QuietComfort 25/QC25

The Bose QuietComfort 25/QC25 are better headphones than the Beats Solo3 Wireless. The Bose are noticeably more comfortable, have a better neutral-sounding audio reproduction, and have a great noise isolation performance, which is great for commuting. However, they are wired headphones, so if you prefer a wireless design, then the Beats may be better. They also have more battery life and are rechargeable, while you need to use AAA batteries for the Bose.

Beats EP

While the Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless and the Beats EP have a very similar sound profile, the Solo3 are more versatile thanks to their wireless design. Their headband also feels more durable. On the other hand, if you don't want to manage battery life, the wired EP are better, although the Solo3 have an incredible 42-hour battery life.

JBL Everest Elite 700 Wireless

The JBL Everest Elite 700 Wireless are not directly comparable to the Beats Solo3 Wireless since they are over-ear and noise cancelling when the Beats are on-ears and isolate passively. This means if you prefer a headphone for noisy environments then go for the JBL. They block and cancel more noise on your commute. They also have a lot more features than the Beats since they have an app that gives them access to an EQ and noise cancelling settings. The JBL also have a better more durable build quality and a sturdier design overall. On the other hand, the Beats are a lot more portable and deliver a much longer battery life that you won't have to charge for a couple of days. They also charge a lot faster, have a greater wireless range, and slightly lower latency on iOS devices.

AKG N60NC Wireless

The Beats Solo3 Wireless are better sounding and better-built headphones than the AKG N60NC Wireless. However, the AKG isolate more ambient noise due to their ANC feature, which makes them a bit more versatile, especially for commuting and for the office. They can also connect to two devices simultaneously, which is convenient. On the other hand, the Beats have an amazing 42-hour battery life, which is about three times longer than the AKG’s.

JBL Everest 310 Wireless

The Beats Solo3 Wireless are better on-ear headphones than the JBL Everest 310 Wireless. The Beats design is more comfortable, and they have a more accurate audio reproduction, especially in the treble range. Also, their battery is incredible and offers 42 hours of continuous playback. The Beats are also better built and feel more high-end than the squeaking JBL. On the other hand, the JBL can connect to two devices simultaneously and have a unique music sharing feature. They also isolate a bit more noise than the Beats.

Sony WH-XB700 Wireless

The Beats Solo3 Wireless are better on-ear headphones than the Sony WH-XB700 Wireless. They have a more neutral audio reproduction, and they feel noticeably sturdier than the Sony. The Beats give an impressive 40 hours of continuous playback and don’t take much time to charge fully. Additionally, you can take advantage of the W1 chip if you have an iOS device. On the other hand, the Sony are better suited for bass-heavy genres and they support the aptX codec and NFC. They are also quite cheaper so they could offer better value for most, especially if you’re a fan of bass.

Sony WH-CH510 Wireless

The Beats Solo3 Wireless are slightly better headphones than the Sony WH-CH510 Wireless. The Beats are more comfortable, feel much better-built, are much more stable, and have an even longer battery that charges significantly cheaper. While the Beats have a more bass-heavy sound profile, the bass range of the Sony are a bit more accurate. As a result, the Sony likely represent better value for most people.

JBL CLUB 700BT Wireless

The JBL CLUB 700BT Wireless are slightly better Bluetooth on-ear headphones than the Beats Solo3 Wireless. The JBL have more a more robust control scheme, a slightly better-balanced sound profile, a longer battery life, and a better app that includes a parametric EQ and presets. On the other hand, the Beats' sound profile is more consistent among users and reseats, and they feel more stable on the head.

Bowers & Wilkins PX5 Wireless

The Bowers & Wilkins PX5 Wireless are better mixed usage wireless on-ears than the Beats Solo3 Wireless. The Bowers & Wilkins have an easier-to-use and more comprehensive control scheme, are better-built, block out more ambient noise, and feature a companion app with more options. However, the Beats have a more neutral sound profile and last slightly longer on a single charge. They also offer full audio and microphone compatibility on a wired connection thanks to their 1/8" TRRS cable.

Status Audio BT One Wireless

The Beats Solo3 Wireless and Status Audio BT One Wireless have different strengths and weaknesses. The Beats are better-built, more stable, block out more ambient noise, and last much longer off of a single charge. They also come with a 1/8" TRRS cable that allows for full audio and mic support on a wired connection. Meanwhile, the Status Audio have a better mic, a more neutral sound profile, and charge faster. They also support aptX-LL codec for low-latency wireless audio.

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless look indistinguishable from the Beats Solo2 Wireless. You can barely tell them apart, even on closer inspection. The only differences are in the available color schemes: the Solo2 have slightly more options. On the upside, if you liked the previous model, then you'll be familiar with the sleek design and the small, round, and well-padded ear cups of the Solo3. They still stand out in a crowd, especially if you choose one of the flashier color schemes.

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless are almost identical in design to the Beats Solo2 Wireless. They have the same weight, and they're just as tight on the head. The ear cups are heavily padded, which makes them decently comfortable, but they aren't ideal for long listening sessions as you may feel fatigued from their clamping force.

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless' control scheme is efficient and easy to use. Like the Beats Solo2 Wireless, the buttons feel responsive and are well spaced out on the small ear cup. They provide basic but essential functions: track-skipping, call/music, and volume controls. The buttons are a bit small, but they're not much cause for concern.

Design
Breathability
Avg.Temp.Difference 2.3 °C

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless have very good breathability. They have an on-ear design that doesn't fully cover the ears; heat is trapped within the notch and ear canal, leaving the outer ear relatively cool. These headphones can make you sweat a bit more than usual during intense workouts, but they're not as bad as most closed-back over-ear designs.

The Beats Solo3 Wireless come with a good soft case that should protect the headphones from scratches and scuff when they're in your bag. Unfortunately, the soft case won't shield them from impacts or water damage like the JBL Everest 310 Wireless' hard case can.

7.5
Design
Build Quality

These headphones are well-built, compact headphones that won't break if you accidentally drop them a couple of times. They're made using high-end materials, and the headband is reinforced with a metal frame that makes them decently sturdy under physical stress. Unfortunately, the plastic coating feels rigid; if you bend them too far, they may crack. The coating is also prone to scratches and scuffs.

7.5
Design
Stability

The Beats Solo3 Wireless have a stable fit. They have a tight fit, so you can wear them at your desk or on your commute without worrying they'll move around. However, if you want to wear them while working out or running, they can shift in positioning and even fall off your head. Luckily, since they have a wireless design, they won't get pulled off your ears because the audio cable got hooked on something.

Slightly more balanced than their predecessors, the Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless' sound profile leans into the bass, making them a good choice for people looking for a little more thump in their audio. The dip in the mid-range recedes vocals and instruments in favor of the bass, while the treble is prone to brightness. This mix can make the sound profile sound muddy, however. Consider the Status Audio BT One Wireless if you're looking for Bluetooth on-ears with a more neutral sound profile.

These headphones have a good frequency consistency. While the Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless perform better than their predecessor, there are still similar inconsistencies, particularly noticeable in the treble. Depending on how you wear these headphones and how they sit on your ear, you may need to readjust them on your head to get the same listening experience every time.

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless' bass accuracy is just okay. The overemphasized bass, while fairly even across the range, produces prominent thump, rumble, and boom. However, some users may find they sound a bit muddy.

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless have excellent imaging. Their weighted group delay is below the audibility threshold and should result in a tight bass and transparent treble reproduction. Additionally, the L/R drivers of our unit were exceptionally matched in amplitude, frequency, and phase response. This ensures an accurate placement and localization of objects (voices, instruments, footsteps) in the stereo image. However, these results are specific to our unit and may not be the same with every pair.

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless' soundstage is poor. Since these are on-ear headphones, they have limited acoustic interaction with the pinna or outer ear, which is necessary for creating a large and out-of-head soundstage. Also, because of their closed-back design, their soundstage will be perceived as less open, compared to open-back on-ears like the Grado SR80e/SR80. Overall, the soundstage is perceived to be small and located inside the listener's head.

The isolation performance is disappointing. These on-ears provide little isolation in the bass range, which means you hear the rumble of airplane and bus engines. While the passive isolation provided by the ear cups starts to kick in towards the mid-range, these headphones still have trouble blocking out most speech. However, sharp sounds from the treble range are reduced. If you like on-ear designs but need a bit more isolation for your noisy commutes, then check out the AKG N60NC Wireless, the Marshall MID ANC Wireless, or even the higher-end Beats Solo Pro Wireless.

The Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless have an impressive battery performance. They can last up to 40 hours of continuous playback on a single charge. They also charge surprisingly fast: a 5-minute charge delivers above 2.5 hours of playback while a full charge is complete in less than two hours. If you're always on the go, the long battery life ensures that you can go longer without charging them. However, they don't have an auto-off timer, so the battery will continue draining if you don't switch them off. If you're looking for a pair of wireless on-ears with even longer continuous battery life, take a look at the Jabra Evolve2 65 Wireless.

Like the Apple AirPods (1st generation) Truly Wireless, the Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless also use a W1 chip to provide extra features on iOS devices. These headphones connect with a pop-up that displays basic battery information. Unfortunately, this isn't particularly useful as it only shows up on your initial connection with an iOS device; however, you get live feedback notifications on the battery status. Unfortunately, this feature isn't available on Android. If you're looking for similarly designed Beats headphones that have an app that's compatible with Android devices, consider the Beats Solo3 2019 Wireless.
