Our Verdict

Beats Solo Pro Wireless

Skullcandy Dime True Wireless

The Beats Solo Pro and the Skullcandy Dime True Wireless are differently designed headphones; depending on your usage, you may prefer one over the other. While both headphones have a fairly neutral sound profile, the Beats are on-ear headphones that are better built and have an ANC feature that can block out a lot of noise. They also have around 24 hours of continuous playback time and have an H1 chip, so you can seamlessly pair them with your Apple devices. However, the Skullcandy are in-ears that are more portable and stable.
