Description

The Beats Solo Pro are an evolution of the Solo series, distinguished mainly by the integration of active noise cancellation (ANC) and the Apple H1 chip. The headphones use “Pure Adaptive Noise Cancelling,” which digitally reduces ambient noise and adapts in real-time to the acoustics. This allows for an undisturbed music experience, whether on a plane, in the office, or on public transport. The Transparency Mode, with a simple press of a button, lets you hear your surroundings again, so you can have conversations or hear traffic without having to take off the headphones.

The Apple H1 chip is the technological heart of the Solo Pro, ensuring a seamless connection to all Apple devices. Instant pairing, easy switching between devices, and hands-free Siri activation with the “Hey Siri” command make operation especially convenient. For Android users, the Beats app also offers some features.

Design and Battery Life

The design of the Beats Solo Pro is high-quality and robust. A headband with anodized aluminum and the improved fit ensure a secure and comfortable feel on the head, although the clamping force might be too high for some during extended use. An innovative function is the automatic power on/off by folding and unfolding the headphones, which makes handling intuitive.

In terms of battery life, the Solo Pro is impressive: with ANC enabled, it provides up to 22 hours of playback, and in power-saving mode (without ANC or Transparency Mode), it can last up to 40 hours. Thanks to the Fast Fuel quick-charge technology, you can get enough energy for up to 3 hours of music playback from just a 10-minute charge. The battery is charged via a Lightning port.
