Michal Ždanský Apple-owned audio equipment maker Beats Electronics has released new headphones. Solo2 Wireless are other headphones from the Solo series, which, compared to previous generations, add the possibility of wireless listening. It is also the first product that the company released under the wings of Apple. It is not clear whether the Californian company was directly involved in them, but earlier Beats announced that the design would go from an external studio to Apple's design studio.
Beats has already released Solo2 headphones this year, but this time they come with the Wireless moniker. This is the direct successor of the model presented in the summer, with which it shares the same design and acoustic properties, the main difference is the wireless connection via Bluetooth, which should work up to a distance of 10 meters - the original Solo 2 were only wired headphones.
In wireless mode, Solo2 Wireless should last up to 12 hours, after discharge it is still possible to use them passively with a cable connection. The sound of the headphones should be identical to the Solo 2, which greatly improved the reproduction quality of the previous generation and reduced the excessive bass frequencies for which Beats are often criticized.
The Solo 2 also has a built-in microphone for taking calls and buttons on the earcups for controlling playback and volume. The headphones will be available in four colors – blue, white, black and red (red will be exclusive to the Verizon operator), at a premium price of $299. For now, they will only be available in the United States at Apple Stores and select retailers. The new colors will also get the original ones Solo2 wired headphones, which can also be purchased in the Czech Republic. However, the Apple Online Store does not yet offer the new colors.
Since the new headphones from the Beats workshop are practically identical to their previous versions, Apple probably hasn't done much with them yet. They don't even feature his logo, so it's a classic Beats product as we've known it, but that's not too surprising - Apple has no reason to change a brand that's working well just yet.
I'm thinking of powerbeats wireless, but the red ones are also beautiful, but I wonder how you would play sports with them. Does anyone have experience with this?
I have the wired version and I can only praise it when it comes to the gym and running.
Well, thanks, I'm on the fence now
probably good for music, but a lot of people complain about the sound shift when watching a video .. but I'm thinking about them too :-)
For sports, I would recommend plugs. For example, PowerBeats from Beats. Your ears will sweat with headphones and it would be quite uncomfortable in my opinion. In addition, Beats have a reputation for not sitting well on your head, so for example you could fall off while running. But why not, for example, to the gym.
Pronounced imidzovka. As for the sound, it is over-bassed, unbalanced. In any case, it does not reach the sound quality of Senheiser, Bayer Dynamic, Koss, etc. Image yes, but that's all
pay attention to one thing – Solo 2 are significantly redesigned and even reviews from renowned experts indicate that they are perhaps the first usable headphones from Beats, which only have a design in common with previous models... so don't immediately condemn, you have to try them
