Beats Solo Pro’s are Changing the Way We Listen to Music

Beats Solo Pro over-the-ear headphones are the most advanced addition to the Beats family, inspired and created by hip-hop superstar Pharrell Williams. They are everyday use wireless noise-canceling headphones that come in a wide variety of vivid colors: dark blue, ivory, gray, red, light blue, and black.

Consumers get numerous extras in the box, including a soft, stylish gray case made from 100% recycled material. With the premium price tag of $300, they have been completely redesigned from the bottom up using state-of-the-art materials, with a smooth matte finish and an elegant build of solid aluminum in comparison to competitor models with a plastic build, allowing for an exceptional and exclusive feel every time you put the headphones on. The sleek and stylish design features a brand new headband to maximize comfort on the head, metal side arms to adjust for personalized sizing, and thick memory foam ear cups for coziness.

Every single detail has been thought of on how to make the best beats experience, from the Solo Pros seamlessly pairing through the Apple A1 chip by simply folding or unfolding the headphones, to beats signature fast fuel and stunning battery life, allowing up to 22 hours on a single charge, and a rapid ten minute charge with three hours of playtime.

These headphones are ideal for any Apple user, as the Solo's use Apple's lightning cable to charge, feature hands-free voice controls with "hey Siri" allowing for seamless calls and commands, and even feature audio sharing allowing for two different people to listen to the same music using their Beats Solo Pros.

Mixing features with the new Airpods Pro, these game-changing headphones include an advanced acoustic platform with balanced tonality to create a powerful sound experience anytime they are worn. Featuring a bass chamber and digital signal processing, they are the first headphones to feature pure adaptive noise-canceling which actively blocks any external noise and uses real-time calibration to respond to the surroundings around you, allowing you to immerse yourself into the music.

The external microphones surround the ear-cups to detect changes in ambient noise to mix the perfect sound for your ears, and the internal microphones have the job of detecting the appropriate amount of noise-canceling, allowing for an incredible listening experience. When you don't want to use them for noise canceling, the Solos also offer transparency mode which contrasts noise-canceling and allows the perfect blend of music and outside noise to travel through your ears. This could be used for any situation where you want to listen to music but also stay aware of what is around you.

Turning both noise-canceling mode and transparency mode will allow for 40 hours of listening time. You can switch between the two by pressing the button at the bottom of the left ear cup. Adjusting the volume, answering calls, accessing Siri and pausing tracks can be performed by pushing on the left, right and center of the beats logo on the right side of the ear cushion.

I tested out the sound quality, listening to everything from J. Cole's Revenge of the Dreamers to Coffee Table Jazz on Spotify and was exceedingly impressed with the quality of sound. While listening to Sacrifices and closing my eyes, the sound transported me into another world on the soft, soothing chorus. The acoustics delivered the perfect amount of bass and tonality. I wore these to the gym turning up the volume on noise-canceling mode and got lost in the sound listening to YBN Cordae's The Lost Boy that it actually made running on the treadmill enjoyable. I wore these studying and writing in a noisy coffee shop and the music without excess noise interfering allowed me to be productive and focused in a rather bustling environment. Finally, I wore these walking around my neighborhood on transparency mode, and the Solo Pros allowed me to listen to my music with just enough ambient noise to hear cars passing as I was moving from one sound environment to another.

The Solo's are beats best headphones to date. If you like stunning sound quality and audio balance, a comfortable and elegant design, noise-canceling and transparent listening experiences, and breath-taking battery life, the Beats Solo's are for you.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
