Grab a Beat, Join the Party! 🎉
Did y'know, Apple shelled out a whopping $3 billion 🤑 to buy Beats in 2014? Yep, you read that right! So, imagine scoring a rad Apple product without that splurge-y Apple price tag. Now, that's what we'd call a "super-duper-looper" steal, wouldn't you agree? 🍏💸💖
So, fast forward a few years and bam! - we've got the Beats Solo Pro. These oh-so-chic over-ear headphones literally wipe out all the noise around you, thanks to their killer Active Noise Canceling (ANC) system. It's like being in your own bubble of bliss! 🎧💓
Testing The Headphones: Our Beats Studio Pro Review
And, you know what? We've tested these headphones for a whole month with our iPhone 13 Pro Max and Apple Music. Our verdict? They pack a punch above their weight, and boy, do they know how to throw a sonic party! 💪🎶
Now, we know Beats headphones had this, well... beef with bass and build quality. But hey, nobody's perfect, right?🤷 As your buddy, we've got to say they've stepped up their game in recent years. The beefy bass has mellowed, and the design quality has got a major glow up.
Let's just say, the W1 chip had its moment in the sun, but the H1 chip found in AirPods takes center stage now. We're talking rapid-fire pairing, speedy charging, and rock-steady connectivity. Plus, Siri is always tuned in, eager to help - no button pressing needed. (Helpful when you can't find your pizza delivery guy in the dark. "Hey Siri, lead me to the 🍕!").
Some Pros
Sound quality has evolved too, folks. Now we get to enjoy thumping bass that doesn't drown out the sweet mids and highs. It's like the savory, tangy, and sweet layered goodness of a deliciously zingy taco!
Maybe a Con?
But, as with every party, there's always something we could do without (like the guy who keeps hogging the snacks!). In the case of the Beats Solo Pro, it's the ear cup size. These cups are a bit small ('bout 59 x 40 mm) which means some of us with average or larger-sized ears might struggle a bit with the fit.
On the flip side, if you have a smaller head these headphones can be your perfect fit! 👍
The + and - of Battery Life
And let's talk battery life 🕔. Boy, are you in for a treat! The Beats Solo Pro lasted 32 hours on a full charge during our testing. That's a week's worth of commuting covered (who's ready for some jammin' traffic jams?)!
And did we mention fast charging? A 10-minute zap gives you 4 hours of playback (groove time)!
Beats Studio Pro Vs Apple AirPods Max
When comparing the Beats Studio Pro to the Apple AirPods Max, we saw some noticeable differences. Sure, they're both Apple products, but these two headphones are like night and day.
One's suited up in metal with large, plush ear cups; the other sports cute, petite ear cups with a fun, plastic finish. It's like comparing a glitzy disco ball to a funky party cup - purely individual experiences!
And hey, the battery battle between the Beats Solo Pro and the Apple AirPods Max? The Beats blew the Max away! While the AirPods Max mustered just under 21 hours of playback, the Beats kept the party going for over 32 hours! 😱⏰
The Verdict
All in all, the Beat Solo Pro stands as an unbeatable (pun intended!) scoring steal with its improved sound, ANC, and battery life. So ready to get the party started, right? 🎵
So, there you have it, we hope you enjoyed our Beats Studio Pro review! Tune in next time for more rip-roaring dealz with a 'z' at Stealz! Stay groovy! ✌️🎉
