Description

You could argue that these are the best beats ever these are the new Beats Solo buds they are the cheapest beats ever made $79 they are the smallest beats ever by a long way like they set the bar way smaller and lighter than even airpods and they're the best battery life in any earbuds they've ever made but that's the thing that's kind of the catch one of the craziest things they did with these earbuds is the case that they're in has no battery in it at all that's what's allowed them to get them to be this small the case is basically just a plastic holder and so they put all the battery they could into the buds themselves giving them a quoted 18-hour straight battery life which is actually pretty incredible but then you put them back in the case and you have to charge them via USB type-c back here but there is no USBC cable included in the Box to help reach that price there's also no noise cancellation or transparency mode probably to save battery still and they don't sound amazing but they're beats they're fine but

The short makes a bold claim that these Beats earbuds are the best Beats ever, focusing on an unusually small design and striking battery efficiency. The narrator highlights that the buds offer an 18-hour straight battery life, a feat achieved by packing the battery into the buds themselves while the charging case contains no battery at all. This design choice enables a very compact, lightweight form factor that is even smaller than AirPods, according to the speaker. However, the price point is kept low at $79, which allows for some trade-offs: there is no USB-C charging cable included in the box, no noise cancellation, and no transparency mode, and the audio quality is described as decent but not exceptional. The host frames these compromises as part of the value proposition, suggesting that the combination of tiny size, long battery life, and low price makes these earbuds a notable option despite missing features. The overall takeaway is a balance between audibly average sound quality and a remarkably efficient, budget-friendly package, with the caveat that the absence of certain features may limit appeal for audiophiles or those craving ANC and advanced transparency features.
