The 4 Best Beats Headphones of 2019

Looking for a stylish set of on-ear headphones you can rely on for daily use? With up to 40 hours of battery life and high-quality playback, Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones check all the boxes for a cool and convenient everyday set of headphones. These fully-adjustable headphones come with comfort-cushioned ear cups that buffer exterior noises, a handy carrying case, 3.5 mm RemoteTalk cable, as well as a universal USB charging cable. Plus, with Beats Fast Fuel charging, a low battery won’t shut down your jams. A five-minute charge provides three additional hours of playback, so you can get the music going again fast.

When Apple launched the AirPods a few years back, it did so with one crucial value proposition in mind: A custom-designed "W1" chip that would pair seamlessly to Apple devices. It makes sense then that Beats, an Apple subsidiary, would launch a pair of its own wireless headphones housing a similar chip, albeit with the classic Beats sound and aesthetic. For those who’ve been waiting for a truly portable, true wireless set of Beats headphones that come sporting the H1 chip (also found in AirPods 2), the Powerbeats Pro are for you. That chip means you won’t be fumbling around Bluetooth pairing menus, but it also means that you can expect a stable connection and solid call quality.

For the Powerbeats, Apple and Beats have enlisted the expertise of pro athletes to determine the right fit for your wraparound earbuds. Flexible, adjustable wings hug your ears to keep the headphones intact. Plus, the units are outfitted with a degree of sweat and moisture protection, which means workouts and even mild precipitation aren’t huge concerns. From just a short, single charge, you can look forward to a full nine hours of listening time, or 24 hours when housed inside the included charging case. After a mere five minutes on the charger, you can hear "Old Town Road" by Lil' Nas X 34 times straight. (That's an hour and a half.) Other features include support for Siri and even on-earbud buttons for controlling track skips and volume.
