I got the Solo 4 as a gift from somebody and I can confirm all of this. It’s mostly when I’m playing games that the audio is horrible but the worst part is it is seriously uncomfortable on the ears! After just an hour or two I have to take them off because I feel like i’ll pass out if I don’t. They make you feel light headed and like your head is being squished.
I so wish I had seen this video before i purchased the solo 4. Your video sums it up perfectly. The audio quality honestly does not bother me much as I sincerely only use it for studying to listen to some music while concentrating. They do filter ambient sound pretty well. However, they are so uncomfortable. The top pad didn't other me, but there is so much pressure on the ears. I have had other on-ear headphones that do not hurt like these. I can only tolerate these for maybe ten minutes before I start fiddling or get a headache. I am saddened, because I typically avoid ANC headphone's due to my migraines. Every pair I have tried gives me a raging migraine due to the ANCm component and that is why I went with this one that lacks that feature. However, I am so disappointed. Will definitely be returning these. If anyone reads this, i''d love a recommendation for on-ear or over-ear headphones that lack ANC that are comfortable and sound decent without breaking the bank.
Thank you for this review, saved me from the purchase [Edit] Purchased the Skullcandy Evo Crusher for black Friday. Super happy with the purchase. Especially as someone who spends hours in the gym.
@@ViRatio I already have the solo pro’s AND studio pro’s😂 I’m just pointing out the fact that for a modern headphone it’s a downgrade not to have anc plus I’m pretty sure if u fold these headphones it doesn’t power off the headphones which sucks every beats headphone that’s come out since the solo pro’s has been a let down
I understand the need for objectivity in presenting the negative aspects of a product. Even though I'm not a fan of Beats, I believe criticism should not be done in an antagonistic manner. The entire video has a somewhat aggressive tone, which diminishes the credibility of the review. Courtesy and respect towards the audience and the product should be primary characteristics of any presentation.❤
I bought the Beats Solo 4 on sale during Black Friday (I live in Canada where they were only $180 instead of 280) and immediately noticed a lack of bass on the Beats. That's correct: almost no bass on a pair of BEATS! If they weren't on sale, I wouldn't have bought em in the first place. The clarity is fine for me, but the lack of bass means most music has almost zero depth. And the sound is also tinny as he mentioned. By the way, I also have the Sony XM4 and they sound infinitely better. The Sony headphones have better clarity, are more comfortable, and have MUCH better bass! If you want decent bass in your headphones, go for literally anything else
these sound amazing to me and they are loud and very comfortable. Super clear for vocals... u def shouldn't buy these if your idea of sounding good is bass get skullcandy
@@Slayworld12 which is obviously wrong because PU leather is plastic, containing petroleum product that usually involved with harmful chemicals and animal bi-products. Even Apple didn’t specify their PU leather is vegan. If so, apple would specify that on the product environment report.
Beats Solo Pro and Beats Fit Pro were their best by a mile. Both were actually really good and really competitive for their price... No idea why the Solo Pro was discontinued , It is much better than the Solo 4s and even holds up to the Studio Pros which came out like 4 years after.
@@NULL4546-m1vI love the Beats Solo pro, I have 2 of them. They were discontinued due to market sales and people complaining about the tension on the ears when you put them on
“The problems start when you wear them” 🤣🤣🤣

Man I don't even have them but from everything I've seen they sound and look trash I would pay 30 max

love the honest review, owning the beats studio 3s since 2019, I 100% agree with the comfort and sound quality.
Yea but it gets the job done🤷🏿♂️
I just got my solo 4s and I immediately noticed the bass is nowhere compared to my solo 3s. Almost non existent. I was mad.

Thinking of getting these while on sale for 99 dollars, Sonys xm5s are still around 350
I refurbished my Solo 3s and keep it moving. They still sound great, so I am not buying the Solo 4 for features I do not need.
I need to upgrade to a different brand. Mine have always randomly turned off and it's enough to wanna break them 🤣
@asrr62 omg mine too 😭
The solo 4’s don’t even have anc… which is something almost every modern headphones has implemented in them and for the price it’s not even worth it
If you want ANC buy Pro Beats...

Do you buy the tech or do get them by companies ?
I think he gets many of the products sent to him by companies.

I agree. I've got these and they are very comfy so I dunno what he was talking about? I must have a small head lol

People keep comparing a regular solo 4 with the studio pro instead of doing studio pro with solo pro

Ordered and sent them back immediately. 😩 😅
Headphones brands are good are Sony & Creative ya! Earphones winner is the AirPods Series!
I got the power Beats Pro and the power solo 3 and power buds. And I still feel like my air pods pro 2 sounds better
The sound quality isn't that bad. you just don't know how to use it. DAC AMP will fix that problems.
What would be a good alternative $200 or less
Skull candy
Buy them you won’t regret a penny
Why do u have them? I do have the beats solo 3 and im looking for upgrade is quality better?
Is there a prefect beats headphones or it’s all sales
0:47 wrong, not vegan leather. It’s PU leather. Very different materials
According to a quick google search PU leather is referred to as vegan leather 😉

Nice video, Good thing you had hair for now lol. Good one.
My question is then - what am I actually paying for ? 🤷♂️
Beat name duh lol 😂
Over ear headphones blow those out of the water! Big time!
Lets be honest... Have beats ever made a good headphone?
Beats Solo Pro and Beats Fit Pro were their best by a mile. Both were actually really good and really competitive for their price...

@@NULL4546-m1vI agree that the solo pro are the pinnacle of the solo series.

@@NULL4546-m1vluckily I own those two. Mostly happy.
Wow I didnt know you had an english channel as well. Same great quality as always. I'm surprised that this one didnt take off (yet) 😮
I feel like they feel very cheap for the price range. I feel like they are overpriced and look like Chinese copies.
Just got a brand new pair of these and there's no way to even charge it. How stupid is that. Lame in my opinion
1:07
worst buy i ever made total trash, even the solo 3 sound better by far
Apple doesn't pay for influencer so ... whatever.
Nice vid mate
Apple AirPods Max’s are way better!!
from the looks of it, even the solo pro from 2021 are better than these new solos
Yep
FAKE EVERYTHINK KI
What u expect for 200$
There many great headphones from competitors for much less then 200$.
useable headphones
