The TRUTH about the Beats Solo Buds

[@ELJefeReviews]

⏱TIME STAMPS⏱ 00:00 Start 01:49 The Good 05:14 The Bad 08:39 Sound Quality 11:10 Are the Beats Solo Buds worth it?

[@SextonHardcastle2]

Can you review the Soundcore Sport X20?

[@JustAFatGuyInTX]

These excite me for future releases. If Beats can get 18 hours from the Buds alone imagine what they'll get with a proper battery case.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Thats a good perspective.

[@ezrapardede1921]

but it's Apple, you know what most likely happen

[@adequatequality]

Great honest video about these! I purchased them without really knowing what I was getting. I was not at all impressed with the volume/sound, the lack of battery in the case, and no IP rating. For the price, you can get some other solid earbuds from different companies with all those feature and more

[@ELJefeReviews]

Thanks for sharing! I completely agree.

[@marycl01]

agree

[@DJ279V]

Appreciate the tranparency always Fam!! Looking forward to trying to catch the next live feed (adjusting to relocating from NC to SC). Thx and keep shining!!

[@ELJefeReviews]

Right on! Good luck with the relocation.

[@anthonytaylor4720]

Even the beats fit pros are $100 right now NEW on Ebay🤷🏽💯if they're gonna make these so BONE DRY; the SOUND QUALITY should have been PHENOMENAL.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Exactly!!!

[@miscwork-qb7pd]

Nice review! You seem to like shounen anime, so here's a more modern suggestion: Mob Psycho 100. Finished show, 3 seasons, amazing animation, great humor, it is a modern classic

[@ELJefeReviews]

I'll check it out!

[@Makie-t8c]

Your reviews are the best. Honest and real

[@ELJefeReviews]

🙏🏽

[@mrappleios]

Hey Mr El Jefe I hope you are doing well and having a great weekend i bought a pair of the beats studio buds plus and they are awesome

[@ELJefeReviews]

Good choice!

[@84beardog]

I was a bit surprised to hear about Jabra but at the same time it makes since. The past few years they are less and less talked about. It sucks though, I keep my earbuds for years and the past 2 have both been Jabra. When I was looking the last time it was overwhelming with all the choices out there that it was hard to make a decision. Especially since I'm the type that researches before buying most things. Lol but that is why I'm appreciative of KZbinrs like you that test and give your honest professional opinion. Thanks man. 😊

[@ELJefeReviews]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Glad I could help.

[@franciscojimenez-bz9oj]

Greetings Boss! Tremendous work that you have been doing, the first time I saw you, it was a live with Roys, you recommended below $50, soundcore life A3i, some time later I saw an offer for the Liberty 3 pro and I liked it, but I was left with the doubt that You had spoken in it, Live you said that they were better than the Liberty 4, for you they were the best for their price and I really liked the recommended ones, now I will wait for something that far surpasses the Liberty 4, in sound quality, also with quality-price.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Patience is good. Thank you for watching.

[@Dota2Aventure]

Thank you very much sir!

[@ELJefeReviews]

Most welcome!

[@asan1050]

Hey Jefe! , You are honest, and Thanks for not selling out!

[@ELJefeReviews]

Thanks for the kind words bro.

[@Jezee213]

I wanted to pick these up but needed the Jefe thoughts first!

[@ELJefeReviews]

Glad I could help!

[@BrianHartman]

Thanks for the blunt and straightforward review, Jefe. :) I saw Gamesky review these buds, and you both came to the same conclusion. IMO, these are $20 buds. They've got a lot of balls trying to sell them for $80.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Agreed!

[@Disdain7133]

No extra battery life from the case is interesting, but probably not it. EQ sounds like a no-go, but are comfy. Bummer.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Agreed!

[@j-cultureEnt]

At this point apple thinks that they can get away with anything. No battery in the case come on Apple

[@ELJefeReviews]

A strange move for sure.

[@sashanj848]

Not only that what makes me think that they’re not worth it. Even with this price tag. Is it they’re not even offering AppleCare for these! which nobody in any of the videos have been mentioning this. I’m guessing they don’t wanna replace them if something happens to them because they know they’re made very cheaply and people can go ahead and buy a new one.

[@gloriadiaz612]

Hey man! Just stopping by to say hi! And watch your awesome content 😊

[@ELJefeReviews]

Hey Gloria!!! Thanks for stopping by. Great work on that Soundcore P30i video!

I got the Transparent beats studio buds plus it was 74.99 Best Buy

[@ELJefeReviews]

Well played!

[@carlson2012abqb]

Bro those buttons damn near killed me, had to return them lol

[@ELJefeReviews]

Right? They messed that up for sure.

[@carlson2012abqb]

@@ELJefeReviews if the buttons weren’t so bad I would’ve kept them but I couldn’t justify that price 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@chaithrey]

Does it pauses songs/ video when I take it off ear when playing? Does it connect with two iPhones simultaneously?

[@jexxy1806]

Too Harsh on the Beats Solo 4 lol. They are actually pretty good. My only problem is at $200 it needs NC/Ambiant. These are $129 on sale rn which is fair. Apples Spatial Audio is shit and I had better experience with the Solo4 turning it off and going Stereo. YMMV.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Beats Solo 4 sound quality didn't do it for me either. Combine that with the lack of features and the $200 price tag and they were a NO-GO. At $129 makes much more sense. Especially with the Sony ULT Wear selling for $179 and absolutely dominating the under $200 category.

[@pleaseletitgo1818]

I’d rather a tougher push!!! Less accidental presses which is a problem for me on the others… opinions opinions 😏

[@johnpineda8478]

U can get the beats studio buds + for $100 most of the time

[@ELJefeReviews]

I know. That's why I recommended getting Studio Buds+ in this video.

[@petermurage8685]

A friend got them. They sound lackluster. No battery in the case is shocking. I guess at this point Apple can get away with anything for profit. Soon they will be selling earbuds like that for a high price. And everyone will follow suit

[@ELJefeReviews]

‘Lackluster’ is a perfect word to describe these.😂

[@YoutubeWatcher264]

Sad that Jabra is exiting the bluetooth earphone market. They have been making bluetooth earphones for a looong time, the one's with wires and then true wireless.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Agreed. They are true OGs in this market.

[@jeep128]

I'm starting to wonder if they're going to phase these out

[@ELJefeReviews]

No idea. But anything is possible.

[@onecubeboy]

The only reason why this exists is exactly what you said at 8:32 in the video....Apple just wants reviewers to tell their viewers to spend the extra money to get the plus

[@Ozem_Israel]

Why would they bother putting out anything other than an updated fit pro Or adding anc to that model that will not fall out.

[@jacobdolphine1829]

Am waiting for OnePlus buds 3 pro or I will go for status between pro

[@ELJefeReviews]

Me too!

[@hawkattack]

for price I would go with Soundcore Space A40 for 49.99 and noise cancelling. Is this the best though at this price ? Also anyone have some advice ? Had the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC but the sound was awful on my mac.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Agreed. Space a40 for only $50 is a steal. Other options would be the Soundcore P30i and the CMF Buds. Both under $50.

[@mrappleios]

I think the beats studio buds plus are better than the originals

[@ELJefeReviews]

Same!

[@mrappleios]

​@@ELJefeReviewsare there any memory foam eartips that will fit

[@ELJefeReviews]

@@mrappleios look into Comply Foam Tips. They usually have options for Beats products. I’m not a foam guy so I can’t make any specific recommendations.

Do you have a video with them

Not a full video. It I included them in my Tier List here -> kzbin.infoD9NqE2iELHU?t=2735&si=AHCWLb15pf6LWjWL

[@havocmagnuseditz9507]

I'll rather get the Space A40. They're around that 80-99 dollar price. They're much better than the Beats

[@ELJefeReviews]

True. And they routinely get discounted heavily.

[@hilmyakatsuki1665]

Mock this by comparing with soundcore r50i nc which is just $30 Or less, depending on your country. It will be fun.😂

[@novikovtomer10]

Hi brother, Do you know if the spinfit Omni compatible with soundcore liberty 4 nc buds and charging case?

[@ELJefeReviews]

Use CP100+ instead. But you will have to stretch them to make them work.

[@novikovtomer10]

@@ELJefeReviews really sad there is no good fitting product for those buds 🥲 thank you very much brother have a great week!

[@Theinspirationalrogue]

It's frustrating that they decided to make all their newest headphones recently with "BEATS own customize chip" instead of the H chip. Beats is more beneficial for android users than their own iPhone users. That's why people are sticking more to their AirPods. I have the Beats Studio pros (bought them on sale for $200 a while back) and I feel as if those are the only decent ones they have released in a long time since the Beats fit Pros. I tried the solo 4, straight trash, that's why they have dropped so quickly in price, you can get them in the US for $130. The Beats Studio buds + are decent too and especially when they drop the price down to $130. but these new buds, just no...

[@ELJefeReviews]

Agreed.

[@rolins3279]

This thing isn't worth $20-$30, but since it's a 🍏 Beats product, despite its extortionate price, it's going to sell like hot cakes, pff 🤦🏽‍♂️ For $40-$50, you can find better quality earbuds and above all with many more features. 🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️

[@ELJefeReviews]

My thoughts exactly. This is why I wanted to get this content out as fast as possible. Many superior options from $30 bare bones from Soundpeats, $50 with more features from Soundcore, or $99 for Nothing or OnePlus. Beats HAS to do better.

[@sherifamr4519]

Hello bro I want you to suggest a good earbuds with a higher bass and good sound quality as engine 4 ( i have it ) under 120$

[@ELJefeReviews]

None.

[@goobfilmcast4239]

I have a pair of AirPods Pro...love them. Bought the Beats Solos as a second pair to toss around etc. WORST EARBUDS I ever listened to. Returned them on the same day.

[@diegocampos-e8x]

49.99 at target

[@ELJefeReviews]

I would still skip them. There are better options under $50.

[@jbradshaw7]

Got these for free with an iphone, and they're not even worth that - very thin, bright and bass-light.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Agreed. Super disappointing.

[@patrickhamning1734]

Hey, so this could just be me, but I bought two pairs. One pain had a harman curve with a mid bass boost, the otters pair felt flat in the bass and tinny. Anyone else run into this?

[@ELJefeReviews]

If that turns out to be a common occurrence, then Beats has a massive QC issue on their hands.

[@jb678901]

Beats. From a hifi audio perspective...GREAT marketing. However, IMHO...the crappiest sound quality available at ridiculous pricing. People who buy this crap are solely paying for the brand/image...or they're simply deaf. Again, imho.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Fair enough. Thankfully not ALL Beats products sound the same. Some were a muddy mess. Others are anemic and thin like these and the Solo 4. But none should ever be considered Hi-Fi.😂

[@maxxestevez3790]

apple drop the a dud

Ok. Thats an odd statement but as long as it makes sense to you then it's all good.🤙🏼
