I bought the Beats Solo Buds and I like them. At $80 they are perfect for long travel days or a full work shift cuz you can use them all day with 0 battery anxiety. They have better bass and get louder than my AirPods Pro2...they just don't have all the fancy features like ANC. For the price these are a the perfect backup earbuds

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Yeah, being able to wear it all day without need it to recharge is nice!

[@keyonroberts561]

I swear💯

[@TCHGOD]

I actually got my Beats Solo Buds yesterday, and I was actually kind of dissapointed. I was coming from Beats Flex, which are still Beats current most affordable offering. And the Beats Solo Buds to my ears actually sounded worse than the Beats Flex, and they weren’t as comfortable as them as well. So I’ve decided on returning them and keeping my Beats Flex. Unfortunate because they aren’t bad at all, but they just didn’t seem worth $80. Compared to the Beats Flex which retail for $70, but constantly go on sale for as low as $30-$40.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

I think if they had a much better sound and a more comfortable fit, it would be a great suggestion!

[@muhammadmq5387]

Agreed, and if you have to plug in and charge every time anyway, might as well stick with the Flex

[@jamesfhIII]

These Solo Buds will likely be on sale by 4th of July as well.

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

What I love is how transparent the buds case is.

[@needleontherecord]

Thats because there is no battery in the case. You always have to charge them vi a usb c case

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Yeah, it's a cool design! They also did that on the Beats Studio Buds+

[@AKCHINAEXPLORER]

I just bought this nice Beats solo buds yesterday in Hong Kong. Your video is superb very nice. Thanks for your efforts. Just Subscribed Your Channel.....

[@Claudio_Fortclaud]

Thanks! You always do the most specific way to show and item!

[@ThisIsTechToday]

You are so welcome! Thank you.

[@Claudio_Fortclaud]

No problem!

[@TroyDouglasSutlerIII]

Amazing battery life, I use them for sleeping. haven't drained yet even after 12hrs. I wasn't happy with the tips, found some older Shure silicone tips that make a solid vacuum seal in ear.w

[@dwighttuggle]

Anyone else notice that it says on the box that these are supposed to support Spatial Audio and they definitely don’t! I actually contacted Apple and was told they don’t. WTF!?

[@markyp2532]

Yeah noticed the same too. Was one of the reasons I got mine😢

[@Mr_Thire]

@@markyp2532do they sound good though ?

[@JROC4LYFE808]

Actually they do.. it’s in the settings you have to turn on

[@Mr_Thire]

Jennie from Blackpink advertise Beats Solo. so I can see it selling out

[@baileyli-lu2620]

Great testing!

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Thank you!

[@chriswilkin3192]

I’m recently got a pair of Beats Solo buds and was disappointed but after updating to iOS 18 beta they sound better

[@jasonbaxter4584]

The button being physical is what makes them great because I hate touch sensitive buds .

[@nukersan]

I just bought them for 50 bucks and they are great!

[@jamesfhIII]

Solo Buds microphone sounded markedly better in every scenario in which you tested them.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Surprising!

[@thatradicalextremist9718]

I already have the Sony whxm5, I’m buying this specifically for those times I can’t use the headsets (e.g. the gym, lying down, running)

[@ZubiForce]

I did really appreciate the Comfo Buds Mini small size but I got to say even bigger cases like the Linkbuds S fit into my penny pocket of my jeans. Sound quality is never a thing to trade off in my opinion!

[@Peter.Fields.]

My AirPods Pro (1) are nearly dead… and I needed a sort of replacement for them until I take the newest AirPods Pro 3 in September or so, now that I have your input … I don’t know anymore, I though that a pair of solo buds in 2024 could sound “as great” as AirPods Pro … I’m confused now because I have no idea and my AirPods Pro have no longer ANC or transparency and my bass are sizzling and the overall audio is … not that good anymore ..

[@Misaelito1991]

Not having Noise Cancelling is a big let down. I have the beats buds I got them in sale for $80 2 years ago and still work great

[@AppleSauceYo]

wait the mic sounds so good even compared to the plus

[@ThisIsTechToday]

I thought so as well!

[@ilovelimpfries]

I just pick this for $55 on sale. For the money and the battery life and decent mic quality, its a slam dunk for me.

[@Aart7321]

thanks you saved my money

[@chandlr7857]

Which do you think would be better for everyday wear. Theese or the 2nd gen air pods?

[@ThisIsTechToday]

AirPods sound significantly better.

[@nothinguntouchedpodcast]

They seem like a complete downgrade. No noise cancellation? Galaxy buds fe it is then

[@benmelson09]

Hey dude, I’ve been using a pair of headphones called the Jlab Epic air sport ANC and they’ve been my daily drivers for about a year and I’ve been wondering why they haven’t been listed in any good KZbin videos. They have 4 sound settings including a custom EQ changer in their app, they’re Tile compatible so they can be tracked in the tile app, they have touch controls and much more, so I’m wondering if you can do a test on these and possibly compare them to other big industry leaders

[@keyleb4271]

Would be interesting to know how they compare to the beats flex, because it feels like Beats made the solo buds as the successor to the flex

[@freshis16]

Can you do a review on the Beats Studio buds plus?

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Not planning on it. Sorry.

[@pharaohcooks]

@@ThisIsTechToday what kind of youtuber says that lmao. Give th viewer what they want. buy the buds, make the review, then return them if u dont like em

[@wanazlee2299]

Great review! Can the buds of the solo buds be charged using the studio buds case?

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Different sized earbuds

[@reejah]

I’ve had many types of EarPods including Bose noise canceling. Nothing is better than Apple AirPods Pro 2nd gen for an iPhone.

[@muhammadmq5387]

Kind of weird, wasn’t expecting a battery-less case and *bigger* buds! I’d rather take a slightly bigger case (but flat, like the Airpods Pro) for some battery in there, to also allow the buds to be smaller and a bit more comfortable.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

It's a truly interesting idea or concept. I like the idea, but the end result for comfort makes it not work for me.

[@etcarief]

Apple really 'killing' it with Beats 💀

[@ThisIsTechToday]

To be fair, they're way better than the bass cannon muddy mess they were before Apple bought them.

[@jamesfhIII]

I know right?! All those NFL/NBA players were listening to shitty headphones in that era.

[@merk3075]

Can u adjust the sound settings in an app or something? They’re so low

[@iv7896]

Are there any earbuds that i can use in my airpods gen 2 case

[@ThisIsTechToday]

You can use the AirPods Gen 2. That’s it.

[@Jun_DaWondaBoi]

Small size, and long battery life on a single charge. would be great if u need some earbuds for jogging.

[@nancyfranks7521]

Do they have a case that holds them with key ring

[@coltenquaidvlogs2468]

I came from AirPods and have to say it’s definitely way better despite the few minor things

[@youngkidez5158]

I bought these but was not super amazed sound quality was alright but was not really super loud for me but I’m an audiophile so might just be me

[@youngace5192]

Can you talk to Siri with the beat solo?

[@philblack5936]

So if they don't fit you right how can you do a fair assessment??? You need a good seal in order to get true sound justice. As an audio engineer you should know this?

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Someone misunderstood the video…

[@philblack5936]

@ThisIsTechToday you clearly state you can't get "the seal that you want with any tips" meaning you don't get a proper seal due to your ear shape. Therefore, you don't get a reliable sound to make judgment on the sound quality. Sure you talk about the technical features and a few other aspects but when someone looks at these videos and hears they sound bad, it's not a true/fair assessment. Lack of bass is associated with a lack of proper seal. Etc... Am I wrong?

[@Mr_Thire]

[@nightowleditz_official]

It wasn't actually that bad, I bought it yesterday because of Jennie kim

[@JustAnNPC69]

Battery longevity is top 1 for me and with it starting at 18hrs I can see these lasting for more than twice compared to AirPods Pro. Not really a music connoisseur.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

It's 18 hours on a single charge. There's no additional battery in the case. It depends on whether batteries in the earbud have a longer battery life than ones in the case or if it's equal or less.

[@pizzalikepizza]

I tried this and the sound is completely garbage. Less bass and cant even set the equalizer.

[@Eddie-mt2wl]

Are they worth $80 bucks?

[@ThisIsTechToday]

the section at the end should answer that

[@Eddie-mt2wl]

@@ThisIsTechToday yeah I'm seeing a lot of not so good reviews on these

[@insomnia09]

They are total garbage compared to the AirPods Pro 2. I gifted them and was shocked how flat the sound was. Not just the bass, especially the highs.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

To be fair, the APP2 are almost $200 more.

[@BrianHartman]

I just don't see the value in these, to be honest. With no battery in the case, no IP rating, and not even including a USB cable with the buds, paying $80 for these seems insane. As far as I can tell, judging from other companies' (JBL, TOZO, EarFun, etc.) offers, these are $20 earbuds.

[@Izhupy]

its beats though.. big company u know ppl are gonna go crazy with these

[@RobertMaguire67]

My apple AirPods hurt the ear…the Beats fit a tad better but yes I do note the quality is lower and the ability to charge only with the micro USB C and phone charges dont work with the older IPhone 11 I still use. It does work with the Mac laptop.

[@moosahyshem]

Sir vivo x100 ultra??

[@loconius]

Beats Solo Buds, The world’s first 18 hour true wireless earbuds!

[@szaweu]

Makes no sense. Most people wouldn’t stand having earbuds 18 hours straight in their ears so what’s the point of this much battery life. It would make much more sense to make earbuds a bit smaller, battery life around 8 hours would be completely fine and add some battery to the case itself since you carry it anyway

[@loconius]

@@szaweu I have occasionally worn earbuds for all day or well past the battery life anyway and I wish they had battery life like this so I didn’t have to worry about swapping them back-and-forth. But I hear you wearing earbuds for 18 hours straight would be nightmarish. The Sony link buds had battery like this. I could wear those in my ear all day and have they just died on me.

[@jubaerchowdhury2520]

In short avoid

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Nah. Depends.

[@Murkwiththemouth]

whack product, beats decided to downgrade their products by now providing their “own custom chip” as opposed to the h chip. No ANC or transparency mode, these beats lately have been more of a beneficial to android than apple themselves, how ironic
