If you're on a budget, the Beats Solo 3 would be a more affordable choice and they're also foldable for better portability. However, if sound quality, comfort, and advanced features are priorities, the Master & Dynamic MW75-Neuro is superior with very good noise isolation, an app equalizer for sound customization, active noise cancelling, and a longer battery life. The MW75-Neuro also has integrated AI technology for tracking neural activity, which can aid in planning your day and mental health routines. They offer low latency with AptX Adaptive codec, making them suitable for gaming and watching videos, whereas the Beats Solo 3 has a high latency making them less suitable for those activities. Consider whether the extra features of the MW75-Neuro are worth the higher price for your needs. Give Feedback

"The Beats Solo3 Wireless is an old set of headphones but still works reliably well with iPhones, due to W1 chip integration and AAC support. The Beats Solo3 Wireless holds up well today with just a few features showing its age."
