Beats Solo 3 Wireless might just be the coolest sounding AND coolest looking headphones on the market. These Dre inspired headphones certainly make an impression on the ear, and the eye.


Looking good

Getting your groove on is one thing...getting your groove on in a cool looking way is quite another. Beats Solo 3 Wireless come in a range of colours...not just black, and not just white, but also in gold, satin gold, rose gold, silver and a black red mix. The overall design is sleek, streamlined and foldable, so your stylish headphones can go everywhere you go.


Nothing Beats Apple W1

The introduction of Apple W1 technology in Beats Solo3 Wireless gives you lots of awesome benefits including seamless setup and switching for your Apple devices, plus super-long battery life, and 5-minute Fast Fuel charging.


Up to 40 Hours of Battery Life

So just how long is that super-long battery life? Up to 40 hours, to be exact! Meanwhile, the 5-Minute Fast Fuel Charge gives you three hours of playback, so you're never without your sounds for long.


Award-Winning sound

All that battery life means hours and hours of sound...award winning sound. Beats promises premium playback with fine-tuned acoustics for maximum clarity, breadth, and balance. Comfort-cushion ear cups keep exterior noise out, so you can enjoy immersive sound and experience your favourite music without external and noisy distractions.


Multifunctional beats

The multifunction on-ear controls on Beats Solo 3 Wireless headphones make it easy to control your music, take calls or activate Siri.

A newer model Beats Solo 4 was released in May 2024.
