Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Clean, minimal design that folds small
  • Soft pads comfy for about an hour, long for on-ears
  • Clear mids and treble, great for podcasts
  • Battery lasted weeks of daily use; wired play when flat
  • Balanced, clean sound by Beats standards
  • Light with a cushioned band
  • Clear calls with handy mute

Cons

  • Bass lacks punch for hip-hop and rock
  • Harsh 's' sounds can tire you
  • No ANC, ear detection or EQ
  • Pricey for what it does
  • Pads tire ears on long sessions and can't be replaced
  • Weak isolation on flights, no transparency
  • No ear detection or auto device switching
  • 91mobilesSep 2024

    Stylish, comfy on-ears with bright, clear sound, but light on bass and features for ₹22,900.

  • BW BusinessworldSep 2024

    A solid pick if you can live without ANC, working equally well with iPhone and Android, though ₹22,900 is steep.

  • EngadgetApr 2024

    Clearly better sound and battery than Solo 3, but the same old design and snug fit limit it to Beats fans.

  • SoundGuysDec 2025

    Huge battery and nice colours, but sound, comfort and price make it hard to recommend unless discounted.
