Beats Solo Buds, the last truly wireless stereo (TWS) headset of Apple’s subsidiary, launched in India in August, two months after they presented themselves in the United States. This model offers a longer reproduction time with a single load compared to its most expensive brothers, but the load case does not provide any additional battery duration. The beats only Buds works with iOS and Android smartphones and presents customizable buttons in each headset. I have spent a few days with the TWS headphones, trying to find out if it can be highlighted in a highly competitive price segment.
Beats only bots have a price of RS. 6,900 in India, and is available in Arctic Purple, matte black, gray storm and transparent red options. The company sent the purple variant for this review.
Beats Solo Buds Design: You look good, you feel comfortable
- Dimensions – 24x66x35 mm (box), 19x20x18.5 mm (each headset)
- Weight – 22 g (with case), 5.7g (each headset)
These are the most affordable TWS headphones made by Beats, but they wear the brand’s exclusive design language. The Beats Studio Buds+ model is very expensive in terms of size and design, with a plastic body with a stem without a stem. The company’s logo appears prominently in each headset.
Beats buds headphones have a light purple plastic body with a matte finish, while the panel with the button in each headset is a slightly darker tone. It is easy to sustain and turn in place, and you can choose between four sizes of hearing to More expensive. siblings.
Beats Solo Buds presents customizable buttons controls
Like the headphones, the transport case has a two -sharing design with a lighter tone inside. It is one of the smallest and light cases that I have held so far, and the lid closes with an audible click. While the lid and headphones are kept safely by magnets, it is easy to open the case and take them out with one hand.
While the adjustment of the TWS headphones can be subjective, I discovered that the beats only Buds were quite comfortable, thanks to the rounded design. The headphones are very light, but I was always aware of their presence in my ears, thanks to internal design.
Beats Solo Software Buds: Customizable controls
- Compatible platforms: iOS, Android
- Headphones controls: call management, media reproduction, silence of silence/ flutter
The beats only Buds are compatible with the IOS and Android smartphones, and I tried them with an iPhone that is run in iOS 17.6.1, as well as a smartphone that runs on Android 14. Apple includes built -in controls for TWS headphones inside From the application of iOS application, but I had to download a complementary application for Android through Apple’s Support website.
When I opened the lid of the beats outbreaks alone for the first time, I saw a notice to match the headphones appear simultaneously in iOS, Android and even a notification of a pair of speed on my laptop that runs on Windows 10. There is no one button dedicated to start the pairing process, which is automatic. If you want to match it with another device, you can do without the button on any of the headphones for three seconds until it emits a squeak sound.
Beat customization options in iOS and Android (touch to expand)
By default, pressing the button on any of the headphones once an incoming call will respond, while pressing once during a conversation it will silence or activate its microphone, and a double pressure will end the call. You can exchange silence call controls/ deactivation and completion, but only button response calls cannot be modified.
The solo rhythm sprouts also include the option to press and keep the headset button to decrease (left) and increase (right) the reproduction volume. However, I deactivated this functionality, since it allowed me to activate Siri (or the Google Assistant in Android) by pressing the button.
The complementary application does not include any equalizer control or audio prejustments, so I had to trust the specific equalizer options of the application in Apple Music and Spotify on Android and iOS to customize the audio output of the wireless headphones.
The application also includes a function that allows you to see the location of its headphones on Android, while iOS users can use the application Search for my same functionality. On both platforms, you can see the last location when the headphones were in use or connected to their phone.
Beats only Buds Performance, battery life: quite satisfactory
- Bluetooth version – 5.3
- Cancellation of active noise: no
- Battery life – up to 18 hours
The company says that Beats only Buds TWS headphones are equipped with a dynamic controller with two layers and a personalized acoustic design with breathing rooms that reduce air pressure while using headphones. Apple has not included a chip of the H series or the W series in the device, so it is not compatible with the perfect switching between Apple devices, nor does it offer multipoint connectivity.
Despite the lack of equalizer controls in iOS and Android, I discovered that beats only Buds offer a good sound scenario, which means that it can handle clues in genres, including rock, pop, R&B and classical music. While listening to Diljit Dosanjh and Hass Hass of Sia, the voices of the duo were clear while the headphones delivered the correct amount of Graves: it is a little more restricted than the other wireless headphones of the company.
Beats only Buds TWS headphones have a stem design
With its neutral sound firm, beats only Buds can reproduce the most complex bustle and bustle of Ormos per Hoyo-Mix, a song with a variety of musical instruments that are clearly audible. It offers a little more to rumble in The Gadfly, Op. 97 III young (romance), but the violin is clearly audible.
The beats only Buds handle clues centered on the bass such as The Weeknd’s blinding with a wide separation between the medium and the minimums, which allows both to shine. However, I noticed a bit of distortion while listening to save the tears with the volume, although there was no “damping” on that track.
While the minimums in Beats solo outbreaks are not as aggressive as the company’s other models, I discovered that it actually delivered a more balanced audio than its competitors in the same price segment that offer a more powerful low performance or Even Beats Studio headphones of original beats that was introduced in 2021.
There is no cancellation of active noise in beats outbreaks alone, which means that the volume was raising while listening to music or podcasts while traveling. It is a bit disappointing because competitors offer support for function at a lower price.
Beats Solo Buds presents a USB Type C port to load
According to the company, beats outbreaks only have a microphone in each headset that uses a personalized automatic learning algorithm to reduce ambient noise. In my tests, the people with whom I talked on regular phone calls and whatsapp and Google Meet calls said they could clearly listen to me, even when I was in a full and noisy area.
It is claimed that the solo beats outbreaks deliver up to 18 hours of multimedia playback with a single position. I obtained about 12 hours of battery, with a mixture of listening to music, calling and games.
While headphones offer an excellent battery life, the transport case does not include a battery, this means that you must connect a charger after placing the shoots in the event that the battery is exhausted. You can load it through the type-C port on the case with a USB-PD charger or even connect it to your phone or other devices.
Beats Solo Buds Review: verdict
The Beats Solo Buds is a unique TWS headset in this price segment, since it offers a balanced and neutral sound firm and works very well with iOS and Android devices. It also offers the longest battery life with a single load and support for fast charge.
However, the company’s most affordable TWS model also has a couple of notable inconveniences. To begin with, the headphones offer up to 18 hours of battery, but the compact load case does not provide any additional power.
Beats only Buds is not sent with a load cable in the box
Another remarkable inconvenience is ANC’s lack of support in beats. In these days, almost all wireless TWS headphones around RS. 5,000 Mark offers a certain degree of cancellation of active noise, preventing the volume from being too high outdoors and potentially damage its ears.
If you have an iPhone or other Apple devices or only want a couple of TWS headphones without luxuries that offer good sound quality, then it is worth considering rhythm shoots if the lack of ANC is not a decisive factor. Other alternatives that are worth considering in this price range are the OPPO Air 3 Pro, Nothing EAR (A) (Review) and OnePlus Buds 3 (Review): Most wireless headphones in this price range also offer a Decent and ANC audio quality for the price, together with the support for multipunto connectivity.
