Our Verdict

Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless

Beats Solo Pro Wireless

The Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless are more versatile than the Beats Solo Pro Wireless. The Sony's over-ear design and amazing ANC feature block out a lot of noise, which is better for commuting or at the office. They're also noticeably more comfortable and have a better battery life. Their app also offers more customization and plenty of controls. On the other hand, the default sound profile of the Beats is more neutral, but you can't EQ them like you can with the Sony.
