Often noted for their fashion credentials rather than their audio proficiency, Beats Solo 3 are a very solid mid-range pair of headphones. Alongside Beats’ signature bass-forward sound, the Solo 3 are best known for offering up to two whole days of battery life on a full charge. If you’re pressed for time, you can get three hours of playback from a single five-minute charge. As you’d expect, the Beats Solo 3 make use of NFC and Bluetooth tech to connect. They are fully compatible with most modern-day smartphones and devices, including the iPhone 13 range. There’s also Siri and Google Assistant support, which allows you to switch tracks and take calls using just your voice. Beats Solo 3 may not offer sound quality that will rival the best on-ear headphones from the likes of Sony and Bose, but they sport a premium look that makes a real statement. In the past, we’ve felt they were overpriced for what they offer, but with today’s sizable discount, that’s no longer an issue. This certainly won’t be the last headphone deal we see, there’s a whole month of bargains to come as Presidents Day sales begin to ramp up. So, make sure to keep it locked to Tom’s Guide for the best offers.
