Our Verdict

Beats Solo3 2018 Wireless

Status Audio BT One Wireless

The Beats Solo3 Wireless and Status Audio BT One Wireless have different strengths and weaknesses. The Beats are better-built, more stable, block out more ambient noise, and last much longer off of a single charge. They also come with a 1/8" TRRS cable that allows for full audio and mic support on a wired connection. Meanwhile, the Status Audio have a better mic, a more neutral sound profile, and charge faster. They also support aptX-LL codec for low-latency wireless audio.
