Surprisingly good sound quality; Great material design; Fast pairing;

Can often be uncomfortable; Not properly sweat resistant; Expensive;

Major issues when wearing outdoors as the wind causes the headphones to blur and not really the quality I expected. However indoors / not around wind they preform fairly well.

Excellent for city commutes and other short periods, but too uncomfortable to wear all day

Great sound quality; good active noise canellation; intuitive interface

Expensive; uncomfortable to wear for long periods; Expensive; uncomfortable to wear for long periods

Apple has continued to refine the Beats brand with new designs and features. Beats Solo Pro is the latest incarnation of that effort, and does a great job pushing the popular brand forward.

Still mostly plastic build; Not the best ANC on the market; No audio cable included

From an audio perspective, the Beats Solo Pro headphones handle bass well without going overboard.

Expensive; No track navigation buttons; Noise cancellation adds slight hiss; No ANC or EQ adjustments
