AUDIO ENGINEER Reviews the BEATS SOLO 4 and Tests it Against the BEATS STUDIO PRO

The Beats Solo 4 is the long-awaited follow-up to the Beats Solo 3 and amongst the new releases like the Beats Studio Pro. In this review, I will test and compare the Beats Solo 4 with the Beats Studio Pro from an audio engineer's perspective to help you determine if any of them are for you and, if so, which one. This Beats Solo 4 review will have microphone tests and sound samples to show how the new Beats Solo 4 is a detour from the Beats by Dre of old.

The thing with headphones is regardless of how good they are, if they are not comfy, I am not buying them.

[bxchicc]

Just ordered these, my first pair of beats ever! I'm kinda tired of the samsung buds and I need to give my ear canals a break! Got them in slate blue

[kdrei]

I bought the studio pros for producing music because of how neutral the studios are even compared to headphones like the ath m50x and dt990s. This is the first time the studio in the name actually lined up with its intended use imo

[jamesberryman]

I use my Beats Studio Pro every day for multiple hours. They aren't the most comfortable headphones but they sound amazing to me especially with transparency mode on. Lots of soundstage and air almost like an open back headphone. I'm probably going to go with the Sony Ults next because I want a good bassy set of Bluetooth headphones for my hip hop collection.

Studio Pros sound great and they’re the most comfortable beats I’ve personally used. Been using beats since the Solo 2s in 2014. The newer studio pros are the only ones I’ve ever been able to comfortably lay down and use

[Genesislouren]

I just purchased the solo 4s and I absolutely love them

[Juniorverse]

Just received the Beats Studio Pro and within 30 minutes I have called Apple to initiate a return. Having been a happy Beats Solo customer for years, when I saw the SP were on sale I decided i’d upgrade. What a disappointment. Firstly, they are MUCH quieter than the Solos. The volume bar was half way up before ANY sound was detectable in the Studio Pros. Once I could hear something, It was mostly that cavity aching sharp treble that most in-ear earbuds are famous for which I hate. Next, the bass. Or what was left of it. There was some bass, but it’s eq’ed down to a “hint” of bass. Kind of an electronic similation of what bass could be. Yes, I checked all the settings. The “reduce loud audio” was off. “Sound Check”? Off. Atmos setting in music? Off. Nope, they’re just a crappy sounding $350 pair of headphones.
What I think Apple did with this latest generation was tune these cans to match the dead, lifeless, baseless sound of their earbuds which is what most people are used to. Which is too bad, I really wanted to love them but as an audiophile, I want my music as true to life as possible, not eq’ed to a sterile level to appeal to the masses. I guess I’ll stick with my 8 year old Solos.

Best review ever!! I was having trouble deciding which to get and this video really helped. Very informative! Keep it up!

[marcomunoz]

You gotta compare these to the Sony ult wear. Both have the same retail price and they’re the newest headphones out right now

[le_nirnoy]

Oh man... The mic on the studio pro is SO BAD

[TartanLad]

Got them for £120 on sale. At that price I really can’t complain. They’re comfortable, good sound quality and no delay when watching videos like my previous Bluetooth headphones.

[RATerra]

How are them in comparison to the legendary Beats Pro?

[XXIVCONCEPT]

Ugh I love your set so much. Never owned a pair of beats except for my 2019 VW Jetta which came with a Beats audio sound system haha. Awesome video.

[mrbearcub]

You deserve more views, keep grinding

[TrumanJPray]

I absolutely love mine even though they’re not noise canceling they still cancel noise better then my anker space one noise canceling headphones did with there passive noise canceling recommend highly

[miemj.]

I was about to place an order on Solo 4. Ahh so glad i saw your post just before i click on checkout 👍🏻

[adriancc]

Connected to an iPhone, Beats Solo 4 headphones have spatial audio with dynamic head tracking sound options. You missed that!

[gradikabeya]

I had Beats Studio pro, they were good but the Sennheisers are better. They’re more comfortable with good sound quality they only problem with them is the active noise cancellation.

[ELJefeReviews]

I'm excited to give these a try despite some of the drawbacks you mentioned here! 😂
