As we all know, Beats brand has been owned by Apple, however, Beats is still a powerful force of its own right and there releases new series of headphones. After the Solo 2 of last year, Beats again released the Solo 2 Wireless version.
We believe that many people are tired of headphone cable/wire --- handling the cable/wire has become an inevitable ceremony for most people before listening to the music and most of them buy new headphones now and then mostly because the cable/wire is broken. Portable and convenient are one of the important properties, based on the needs of which the Solo Bluetooth headset series is produced. Beats Solo 2 Wireless adds Bluetooth connection which makes you escape from being annoyed by the cable/wire. Many music fans show an high interest in this new type of headphones. Let's check the user experience from Bigtimestore dot com.
Design
Solo 2 Wireless basically continues to take the design language of wired version. The headset body uses plastic materials and it is rather durable. As for color, it still focuses on a sense of young and fashionable. They are pretty comfortable to wear too. At the "b" logo on left earcup, there's the wireless control button which can adjust the volume(press up or press down), pause(press middle) or fast-forward(press twice).
Sound Quality
Music industry questions Beats products mainly because of its over bass effect which affects the entire sound quality performance. Beats has already made improvement to overcome this problem for Solo 2, and Solo 2 Wireless basically continues this style. Generally, sound qualit of the Solo 2 Wireless has a better balance, especially the mids and highs, which makes the stringed instruments sound much clearer. However, if turn up the volume, the bass would still turn twist slightly.
Battery Life
Solo 2 Wireless can run wirelessly for 12 hours before it must be recharged, which is long enough for normal commuter. Besides, it can be used with the headphone cable too; so it won't lose its use value completely if users forget to charge the battery.
Conclusion
Obviously for sound qualitiy fans, the progress that Solo w Wireless has made is not that satisfied. However, Beats is not only a headphone brand, it also symbolizes fashion and vitality; and the certain sound quality progress still attracts the brand fans. Of course, we would prefer to see that Apple would invest more to change user experience fundamentally through new technology.
