It seems like Apple might not be very invested in the Beats brand
Of course! These are $50 cheaper than the AirPods Pro and $350 cheaper than the AirPods Max, they want everyone to buy those instead
Of course not! They only bought them to stifle the competition! Just like when Google purchased Waze..
probably will be on sale before summer
That's when I'm going to upgrade my Solo 3s I'll wait for a sale they are getting old so I'll probably upgrade them when I see the first sale on the Solo 4s
Maybe $100 or $129 in this summer I will buy it
Already $50 off
@@matthiasjp5242 that was fast
@@matthiasjp5242 $70 off at costco in store. Comes with 2 years of apple care too😂
Love your reviews! Thx!
Good to see Beats showing some love to their cheaper headphone line and bringing them up to date in comparison to their most expensive for a good price.
So glad I bought the studio pro two weeks ago when it was 199 at Best Buy. ANC is a must for me.
Good deal while the solo 4 don’t have ANC I’m pretty sure they will block out sound very good to make them feel like they had ANC.
I bought some brand new ones off of Facebook Marketplace last night. They were $120 😮
When are they coming out?
4:04 any ideas when audio sharing is coming to the Studio Pro? This is something that comes in super handy when working out with a gym buddy.
2:44 👈🏼🙉 Only New York ppl know about that noise !! 😁
I’m waiting to see a revive of the Beats Studio Pro
Very informative
No Anc, no auto switching, no Hchip. I’m a bit annoyed
Looks like Apple doesn’t want their chips even in their owned brands(brands without the Apple Brand)
@@itz_adx2005 yeah it’s made quite obvious that they don’t want their own beats Brand competing with any of the AirPods. Especially the more expensive models.
ANC should be mandatory apple doesn’t have on ear headphones or step down model…it’s crazy because beats fit pro model have thier cups wi believe
I think apple will kill the beats brand soon. Why have a separate team, brand etc when they aren't even on par with years old apple tech?
The last real good product they had was the beats fit pros. That supported an H1 chip, and skin detection, they probably saw it was competing with Apple’s AirPods so it wasn’t having it so they downgraded all future products with their customized chip (which benefits more Android than Apple 🙄).
Absolutely ridiculous that if have an iPhone the headphones don’t support ‘normal’ multipoint support so you can use the headphones with a laptop and iPhone at the same time
These make the Soundcore Space One look like an absolute bargain!!
The black and gold solo 3 looks the best imo. Have that one as well.
I'll be looking into these my Solo 3s are getting old and could go out at any time so I'll have to test the 4s at my local Apple store when they come in and see how they are. Should be a good upgrade since I keep my headphones for 4 to 5 years before upgrading
No ANC? IMO, ANC is the primary reason to own a modern set of headphones, without it, the price should be a quarter of what they ask.
True but I’m pretty sure they cancel sound pretty good especially when listening to music so it’s like if they had ANC. I mean the guy reviewing who has allot of experience in headphones seemed very happy about them so I’m pretty sure their are good. Hey don’t knock them till you trie them but If you want ANC spend a little more and get the Solo Pro they are usually on sale.
No, I would say the primary reason to own a modern set of headphones would be to listen to media.
I recommend Solo 3 over 4 whilst they are still available.
The 4 outright drops the prominent bass signature leaving a hollow shell of a performance, the highs are left clearer with the missing bass but sibilant and harsh, it's the sound of a very cheap pair of headphones with drivers too weak to do bass.
I've liked the Solo 2-3 headphones for their ability to do loud explosion-level bass without distorting, only the long gone M-Audio Q40 I knew to be at this level.
These are already on sale for $149 at Best Buy and Amazon. That was fast.
Auto switching is fundamental!!! You listening to your iPad, Mac and a phone call comes in you want it to switch over doing that manually which all other beats buds and every AirPod since AirPods 2 have been able to is a minimum requirement in the real world
No tiene cancelacion de ruido? Entonces mi solo pro 👌🏻☠️ aun sigue siendo el papa
Lol I love how the one feature that Apple doesn't get (Multipoint) is somehow spun as a positive.
Solo 4 or air pods pro in terms of music quality
So are they worth the money or not worth the money ?????
I bought Dave and bowers for 200 open box on Amazon normally 400$
Why Beats use the same Sony packaging? why? just tell me why
“Eco friendly” better for the environment, but I don’t believe it
Beats has definitely improved now compared to when it’s with paired with HTC or HP
Sounds like they left a lot of stuff out that even my Beats Fit Pro have, so I’ll pass
My studio pro’s microphones are way better than AirPods pro2. That’s true. 😣 but I will admit, that beats are not your everyday “wear”. They are heavy, I personally use them at the gym or as I heard from the different blogger that beats nowadays are more of a fashion statement, rather than headphones
🔥🔥🔥🔥
These are a step down from the solo pro’s.
One would of thought apple would of bought a technology rather then a brand. And if they did buy a brand, they would of adapted it and there would be no apple earpod pro and a second brand that isn't even on par. At the very least have two brands both have the same features. No doubt apple will kill the beats brand soon. No doubt they never made their money back buying beats. And their own brand of heads sets in ear and over ear and selling better.
Let’s Go Ran-gers. 5:07
The Uptalk is unbearable? lol
The white color will be missed. Please bring it back Apple
Please David, just try Beribes headphones, try them, just do it
Good rec. Gotta try for that price 😂 There's also Kvidio that look very similar.
@@davidcarnoy961 beribes is better tan kvidio
The clamp is my issue -- tire my ears
summary: it’s over priced
They always have the best designs. The comfort sucks though, Bose and Sony comfort are much better.
🔊💙
First❤🎉
first!
so worse than solo pro. got it.
So a miss…
Overpriced for what you get .
horrible mic quality :c
Never like this Brand!!! For Me. I always use Sony Wireless Headphones for Daily use!!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Meh, just another overpriced Beats
