Beats have in the past been accused of being more of a fashion statement than a solid pair of headphones, but the Beats Solo Pro Wireless manages to combine style and substance into one slick-looking package.
If you’re after a pair, then you’ve picked a great time to buy. Right now you can get the Beats Solo Pro Wireless for $169 at Best Buy (opens in new tab). That’s a massive $130 off the usual price of $299 and one of the best headphone deals available.
(opens in new tab)The headphones are available in three colors: dark blue (opens in new tab), light blue (opens in new tab), and red (opens in new tab). This is among the lowest price we’ve ever seen the headphone, though they did drop to $150 briefly a few months back.
In our Beats Solo Pro review, we said, "the Solo Pros deliver fairly balanced audio, 22 hours of battery life, and impressive noise-canceling that should put Bose on notice." We also praised them for breaking the Beats mold of offering more than just the cool factor, with genuinely great audio performance under the hood.
The noise-canceling also really impressed us. We were able to drown out a crowded subway car with volume levels at just 50%. Plus, with Apple's H1 chip built-in, the Solo Pros support Audio Sharing with other W1 or H1 chip-driven Apple or Beats headphones and earbuds.
The Beat Solo Pro managed to be effortless cool, while also sounding as good as they look. You can’t ask for more. If however, you want to see what other options are out there, have a look at our guide to the best headphones currently available.
