Adidas RPT-02 SOL

I've never loved wireless headphones so much. Sure, it's pricey, but you get what you pay for imo. These headphones never run out of juice and charge quickly, especially if plugged in (I only really ever felt the need once and I wore them pretty much all night once). Sure, it's not super comfortable if you wear the headphones for a really long time, but the fact remains that when I ran 6 miles last with them on, I didn't have any issues. I'm not a marathon runner, and in those cases, you'd probably want earbuds anyway. The sound quality is good for me, can comfortably blast my heavy metal while running 😎 Seriously, these headphones are totally worth it for me. Not to mention, you can wash the linings.

These have a shockingly good sound character, enough that when unboxing, I took note that the parent company is now under the Marshall parent brand ownership, who also owns UrbanEars. When diving further I see that it's Marshall's design is credited for these headphones' RedDotDesign award.I genuinely just love em, and their design! The cables on the left and right are labeled as such. The joystick control is instantly intuitive and responsive with a satisfying tactile press for all actions. The mesh fabric and the way the color of the headphones can only be seen at certain angles, it's cool!,The sound quality is worth mentioning since no reviews have talked about it at length. I would not describe them as detailed, but they are very fun and I enjoy their sound. I would say it's very American as far as, a ton of bass, some mid and a boost near the high end of a guitar without piercing cymbals. Sound never gets harsh, but I'm biased as far as, the music I listen to is clearly what these headphones are made for. Boomy excited bassy tracks, especially EDM, are great on these headphones.If I had to get another version, which I would love to see, I would only want a wider Soundstage in the form of some sort of extended Dolby Atmos support. That would truly justify the price tag as only at $150 do these make sense to me. I would never pay the $220+ asking price. I would maybe only pay that given some way to customize the fabric like I would customize an Adidas shoe.This is because they can get uncomfortable when not in use as other reviews noted. They are hard and unforgiving in a way that makes me baby them when they're around my neck. That being said, I enjoy their sound, features, and looks so much that I would still give these a resounding five stars.These headphones just work! Bluetooth setup couldn't be simpler and they connect just fine to my phone and desktops. They only start charging when it's really sunny, otherwise they will keep their charge in overcast as a review noted. I can see myself in the same position where I would go a few days with them at 50% if it's cloudy. They have a USB-C port for charging in the instance that the solar function is unable to fully charge your pair.One last note on the design! It has that same 3D Mesh that a Homepod has, where it's both covered in fibers but looks like you could stick your finger straight through in some areas. This has me slightly worried about wearing em around my neck and getting dirt lodged in the earcups where this kind of fabric is, and would advise caution given how quickly my white homepod with the same 3D mesh got filthy, and that was just sitting in place lol! So keep the mesh safe and I bet you'll love em if the features sound good!

Sorry upfront but this is very long, but I always appreciate detailed reviews.I bought these headphones for the sole purpose of working out (so you know the POV of this review). Previous reviews had stated the RPT-02 SOL’s were a little to tight, however I found myself having the opposite problem. I have a very standard size head, Mens L/XL - (7 1/2 Patrol Cap), and I found the SOL’s to be slightly too loose for my liking. Please note that my workouts consist mainly of weightlifting with minimal cardio, nothing too “jarring”, and for that they work perfectly. However, I would NEVER wear these to do HIIT workouts, burpees, playing sports with a lot of movement, or similar activities. I’m hopeful to try them on a jog or run when the weather gets nicer.I love the removable pads, and so far they’ve held up nicely and the connections remain strong. The button and “joystick button” are very responsive and comfortable to use. The ear pads are very soft and made of a sock like material which is great for sweat absorption. Its water resistant, so you don’t have to worry about ruining them during an intense workout. The SOLs are super comfortable, with my average wear time being 2 hours. For an “On Ear” style headphone they are by far the most comfortable I’ve worn to date. They also have a great sound quality. It has an equalizer app, so you can adjust the highs and lows to your liking, but I’m honestly happy with the factory settings. For a headphone without sound canceling features, they sure do a great job at blocking out the gym noise without blowing your eardrums out (I’ve never had to turn them up over 75%).ISSUESMy main issues with these headphones so far is that they react buggy with my workout app (Trainerize). It pauses or shuts off the music at weird times when the app performs an action like the timer running out. It also doesn’t auto-start the music after you get on a call, it’s minor but annoying if you don’t have a smart watch and you’ve been walking around during the call away from your phone. The adjustment rail for the ear pads is not as solid as I would like. Frankly it feels like a ratcheting system with JUST long enough teeth, but after I get them adjusted to where I like them, they stay in place very well until I move them off my ear.I know some of these things sound very petty or small, but at this price point you are definitely allowed to be picky. Overall, if your looking for quality workout headphones that are comfortable, stylish, and have washable parts these are it! In the next version I hope they fix those minor issues because these are great workout headphones!!Comfort - 9/10Battery life - 9.5/10 (I forget to put them by a window so it’s on me)Construction Quality- 7/10Sound Quality - 8.5/10OVERALL - 8/10

PROS- Ear pads can be easily rinsed- The top cushioning can also easily be removed to clean- Amazing battery life especially when augmented with solar charging. The solar charging feature is NOT a gimmick!- Great bluetooth range. Fully covers an indoor basketball court.CONS- Sometimes finnicky initial connection to my phone (an android OnePlus7)- There's no option for purchasing spare ear pads so your stuck wearing wet earpads until you can get them dry

the price is pretty much for the solar power only the speaker quality it self is average and the washable parts will not last and will rip easily if not well taken care.the speaker place on your ears so if its your first time then it will start to feel uncomfortable after an hour of use till your get use to it
