Built to flex, every day.

The streamlined headband bends to fit your head, and a soft cushion underneath spreads the pressure so long sessions stay comfortable.

Your fit, on both sides.

Metal sliders extend from each end of the headband, so every ear cup can land exactly where your ears are.

Folds down to travel.

Hinges just above the ear cups let them fold inward, so Solo3 collapses small enough for the included carrying case.

Cushioned for all-day comfort.

Soft, pressure-relieving ear cushions rest gently on the ear and help seal out the room, so more of the music reaches you.

Fine-tuned acoustics.

Behind each cushion sits a dynamic driver. Cone, voice coil and magnet move together for clear, balanced sound with deep bass.

40mm Driver diameter

Class 1 Bluetooth extends range and cuts dropouts, while the W1 chip pairs Solo3 with your iPhone in a single tap.
