For those people, the Beats Solo3 will work great. We’re willing to bet that most serious listeners don’t wear headphones for more than an hour at a time. To us, a serious listener is anyone who keeps up with the music industry or at least follows a few favorite artists, and who actively tries to find the time to listen to music, be it while traveling to work or school, working, or when just chilling in the evening. Both have soft padding on the inside of the headband and plush ear cups that feel great against the skin. Controlsīoth feature invisible control buttons around the Beats logo, with the logo acting as the pairing button. On the other hand, the Solo3 are standard on-the-ear headphones, though not the best in terms of noise isolation or suppression. Given that the Studio 3 belongs to the over-the-ear headphones segment, it can isolate the outer noise better no matter your ear design. This construction difference has several implications. Both are suitable for any ear design, which is the first thing that customers want to know about headphones.
Apart from the form factor, the second most significant difference between the Beats Solo3 and the Studio Wireless headphones is that the Solo 3 ear cups rest against the ear while the Studio 3 Wireless wraps entirely around the ear.
