  • The Beats Solo Buds are a new addition to the Beats by Dre lineup with a shockingly small and light form factor, a unique approach to its battery life, and the same transducer as the Beats Studio Buds Plus. How does it sound and feel, and does the microphone compare to the Beats Studio Buds+ well? In this video, I review the Beats Solo Buds from an audio engineer's perspective.

    I bought the Beats Solo Buds and I like them. At $80 they are perfect for long travel days or a full work shift cuz you can use them all day with 0 battery anxiety. They have better bass and get louder than my AirPods Pro2...they just don't have all the fancy features like ANC. For the price these are a the perfect backup earbuds

    I actually got my Beats Solo Buds yesterday, and I was actually kind of dissapointed. I was coming from Beats Flex, which are still Beats current most affordable offering. And the Beats Solo Buds to my ears actually sounded worse than the Beats Flex, and they weren’t as comfortable as them as well. So I’ve decided on returning them and keeping my Beats Flex. Unfortunate because they aren’t bad at all, but they just didn’t seem worth $80. Compared to the Beats Flex which retail for $70, but constantly go on sale for as low as $30-$40.

    Hey dude, I’ve been using a pair of headphones called the Jlab Epic air sport ANC and they’ve been my daily drivers for about a year and I’ve been wondering why they haven’t been listed in any good RUclips videos. They have 4 sound settings including a custom EQ changer in their app, they’re Tile compatible so they can be tracked in the tile app, they have touch controls and much more, so I’m wondering if you can do a test on these and possibly compare them to other big industry leaders

    My AirPods Pro (1) are nearly dead… and I needed a sort of replacement for them until I take the newest AirPods Pro 3 in September or so, now that I have your input … I don’t know anymore, I though that a pair of solo buds in 2024 could sound “as great” as AirPods Pro
    … I’m confused now because I have no idea and my AirPods Pro have no longer ANC or transparency and my bass are sizzling and the overall audio is … not that good anymore ..

    Kind of weird, wasn’t expecting a battery-less case and *bigger* buds!
    I’d rather take a slightly bigger case (but flat, like the Airpods Pro) for some battery in there, to also allow the buds to be smaller and a bit more comfortable.

    • @ThisIsTechToday
      @ThisIsTechToday  9 дней назад

      It's 18 hours on a single charge. There's no additional battery in the case. It depends on whether batteries in the earbud have a longer battery life than ones in the case or if it's equal or less.

    I just don't see the value in these, to be honest. With no battery in the case, no IP rating, and not even including a USB cable with the buds, paying $80 for these seems insane. As far as I can tell, judging from other companies' (JBL, TOZO, EarFun, etc.) offers, these are $20 earbuds.

      Makes no sense. Most people wouldn’t stand having earbuds 18 hours straight in their ears so what’s the point of this much battery life. It would make much more sense to make earbuds a bit smaller, battery life around 8 hours would be completely fine and add some battery to the case itself since you carry it anyway

      @@szaweu I have occasionally worn earbuds for all day or well past the battery life anyway and I wish they had battery life like this so I didn’t have to worry about swapping them back-and-forth. But I hear you wearing earbuds for 18 hours straight would be nightmarish. The Sony link buds had battery like this. I could wear those in my ear all day and have they just died on me.
