When I just got eight headphones, I was most confused, not the number of headphones, but the color. As a myopia + astigmatism, I have a two-color color of Sony WH-H800 months, and the two colors of mint green is not clear, especially in a dark light environment. BEATS SOLO3 Wireless starts with great visual impact from the package, so I will prefer Beats. However, when I really open the box, I was completely faced by myself. ... .. Whether it is appearance, details, Sony's "cheap" headphones are better than apple headphones Beats Solo3.
Color contrast: Sony Sheng, design more "noble"
If it is unique from the number of colors, Beats Solo3 is undoubtedly a Sony WH-H800 headset, however, if the same type of color is relatively, the result is just the opposite. Beats headphones have always been bright in color. Beats solo3 is no exception. Whether it is "dancing" full of red, or blue can't be blue, this is a deep blue sea blue, which is for me. Some colorful children's shoes, It is also a good thing because you won't adhere to the wrong.

▲ Beats Solo3 grassland green and Sony WH-H800 mint green
The Sony WH-H800 is not eye-catching on the hue, and some diluted colors, but it is more likely to be happy. Sony earphones gives people a feeling like the high-end atmosphere, and Beats Solo3 is somewhat too ground, bright colors are not just visual impact, and there is also a cheap passage.
▲ Beats solo3 deep sea blue and WH-H800 month light blue
▲ Beats solo3 red and Sony Wh-H800 Twilight
Carefully observe that we have found that the two headphones will be different in the visual effect. In addition to the color phase and hue, the difference in body surface treatment is also one of the important reasons for the gap. Sony WH-H800 uses sandblasting crafts, this is the advantage of the body color is not too "dazzling", and it will not contaminate the fingerprint. Beats Solo3 uses smooth spray paint, relatively easy to touch oil and fingerprint.
Material contrast: Sony Sheng, three laminated
▲ Telescopic head beam sliding connection: above Beats Solo3, below Sony WH-H800
In terms of material, we have to say that there are three points, the first point is the material of the headset's telescopic head beam. The double design of the aluminum + resin material in Sony WH-H800 is thin, and the edge design is thin, and it is very smooth and there is no feeling. In contrast, the Beats Solo3 is slid in the connection, which is a simple aluminum material, and there is a rubber strip in the middle. Most importantly, its sliding connection is very rough in a certain direction, and it is relatively thick, sliding up, and the noise is large, there is a cheap metal texture, some edges are still built.
▲ headrest part: left beats solo3, right Sony WH-H800
The second point is the material of the telescopic head beam headrest portion. The Sony WH-H800 has a sponge material, and the official call is a PU skin wrapped sponge, and the Beats Solo3 head pillow is more like a rubber, and the softness of the softness is much smashed, and the comfort is still the comfort is still There is quite different. In fact, as a big doll, these two headphones are really not very suitable for me, some are too small, but in contrast, Sony top will be more comfortable on the head, Beats Solo3 wear time long top is true It is hurting.
▲ earmuff position: left beats solo3, right Sony WH-H800
The third point is the sponge of the earmuff position. The Sony WH-H800 is still using the same PU leather wrapped sponge material as the headrest portion, although Beats Solo3 is the same material, but its thickness and softness of its sponge are slightly different than Sony.
Button interface comparison: flat hand
▲ Sony WH-H800 interface button design
The Sony WH-H800 has a startup key, play / pause / answering call three-in-one button, volume adjustment button, and headphone cable interface, charging interface, these buttons and interfaces are flat, and the design is relatively simple.
▲ Beats solo3 button, interface location
In addition to the boot key, Beats Solo3 is located on the side of the earmuff, the middle "B" alphabetical position is also playing / pause / answering the phone three-in-one button, and the other two are outside the outer ring, respectively Volume increase or decrease button. Interfaces also have a charging interface and a headphone cable interface.
We can see that the two headphones are almost the same, the interface design is almost the same, and the hidden design beats solo3 is more preferable, but its "B" letter three in one button is loose, it is the more old button, experience Not Sony is good. So this contrast, we temporarily and count each other.
Wear experience comparison: Sony is good, beats clamp
I have just said it. For my big doll like me, in fact, two headphones wear are more uncomfortable. But in the overall "clamping" experience, Sony is weaker, and it can be used as it is better than Beats. Just in the comparison of the material of the headset telescopic head beam, we have discovered a more important issue, that is, Beats's connection is relatively thick, this is an important reason why it is the ear, and the overall power will be heavy, Especially for me like this.
Of course, in order to be more objective, randomly let some of the female colleagues in the company try to wear a while, the unanimous conclusions of Zhongmei Paper is the Sony WH-H800 more comfortable, although both cannot cover the ear.
Core technology comparison: more than a thousand autumn, but Sony is more for lifting of sound quality
Sony WH-H800 is equipped with a number of technologies such as Hi-RES, LDAC high-quality wireless music listening technology, digital sound enhancement engine, NFC near field communication Bluetooth connection technology. Beats Solo3 is equipped with Apple W1 chip and has Fast Fuel technology, and NEM close-up communication Bluetooth connection technology. Among them, Sony Hi-RES technology can help headphones get better sound parsing, bringing the original sound reproduces the high-resolution music that exceeds the CD sound quality, and LDAC high-quality wireless music listening technology has 3 times the ordinary Bluetooth data. Transmission quality to ensure sound quality.
The Fast Fuel technology of Beats Solo3 is for the end of the headset. When the technology is the most powerful, charging is 5 minutes, which is still playing for 3 hours, which reminds me of domestic mobile phones OPPO. Skeleton, "charging for 5 minutes, call two hours", so Beats Solo3 is unquestionable (officially referred to 40 hours). Sony can also charge for 10 minutes, and the playback is about 90 minutes * 2.
For NFC Bluetooth connection, Sony adapt to NFC Android phones, while Beats is only adapted to Apple phones with NFC features, which is because NFC chips on Apple devices are not open to third-party manufacturers, they can only be used for their own products.
Physical comparison: performance is not bad, Sony is slightly
As a user of Sony WH-1000XM2, I personally think that these two headphones are not very good. However, in contrast, Sony WH-H800 will be slightly better. We use a brand mobile phone's dual audio function and connect two headphones for sound quality testing. Through the test of "Midnight Dream Back Guitar", we clearly feel that the two headphones are different in musical instruments, while Beats Solo3 is subject to Sony WH-H800 in sound permeability.
Sony earphones has always discussed the ears, Sony WH-800 is no exception, in answering some professional audition music, Sony WH-800 for musical instruments, is accurate, and the layout is distinct, but Listening like orchestra is not ideal, transient changes are not fast enough, but the sound tension is still quite good. Among them, high-frequency performance is rich in tension and low frequency. As a headset of 1000 yuan, Sony WH-800 is already available.
It has always been famous for Beats, which is excellent in bass performance, and its bass is still excellent, but high-frequency harsh, there is no Sony WH-800 in some musical instruments, but the same, As a more than 1,000 yuan of headphones are very good.
Evaluation summary:
Finally, we have to add two points. First, Sony WH-800 also supports Sony WH-1000XM2 with software -headphones, but less than 1000XM2 function, support adjustment equalizer and surround sound. Secondly, in terms of battery life, Beats Solo3 is indeed a strong Sony WH-800, but as a baby shoe who focuses on sound quality and comfort, I will not be too exciting time. For me, I listen to the song and stick to one day (part Working time + top production time) is ok, two days are earned.
At present, Sony WH-800 is priced at 1399 yuan in Jingdong, with 150 coupons, and finally the price is 1249 yuan; Beats Solo3 is priced at 1988 yuan, and there are 150 coupons, and finally the hand price is 1838 yuan. Sony has to be close to 600 yuan compared to Beats. However, the cheaper Sony earphones brings us a better detail design and a slight sound quality, "cheap and no good goods", the saying is now being hopped. .., read the full story
