Discontinued Colourway
The Beats Solo3 Rose Gold colourway has been discontinued by Beats. This is a genuine, tested refurbished unit — new stock is no longer available from Beats. Verified genuine via serial number check at checkcoverage.apple.com.
The Beats by Dr. Dre Solo3 Wireless Headphones – Rose Gold(Refurbished) is the most requested discontinued Beats colourway — the warm rose gold finish that Beats no longer produces. This is a refurbished genuine unit: inspected, tested and confirmed fully functional. The Solo3 was Beats’ flagship on-ear headphone at launch and remains one of the most capable in the range. At the heart of it is the Apple W1 chip — the same chip that powers AirPods — which delivers instant one-tap pairing with iPhone, automatic iCloud device switching across Apple devices, and the processing efficiency that makes 40 hours of battery life possible from a single charge. Fast Fuel gives 3 hours of playback from just 5 minutes of charging. Class 1 Bluetooth extends range to 100 metres, substantially further than the 10m of standard Bluetooth. The on-ear cushioned design is adjustable and foldable for carrying. Multi-function on-ear controls handle playback, volume, calls and Siri activation from the headphones without touching your phone. The 3.5mm audio cable is included for wired listening when the battery is empty. The Rose Gold colourway is no longer available new — this refurbished unit is an opportunity to own a colour that has been off the market for some time.
Apple W1 Chip
Instant iPhone Pairing · iCloud Switching
The Apple W1 chip makes pairing the Solo3 to an iPhone a one-step process: hold the headphones near an unlocked iPhone and tap Connect on the pairing card that appears — no Bluetooth settings required. Once paired to an Apple ID, the Solo3 appears automatically across all devices on that iCloud account. When audio switches from iPhone to iPad, the Solo3 follows. The W1 chip also enables the 40-hour battery life: its efficient architecture reduces the power demand of Bluetooth processing enough to multiply battery runtime compared to standard Bluetooth chips. Siri can be invoked directly from the on-ear controls without touching the phone — hold the centre button to activate. The W1 chip also supports the faster, lower-latency Bluetooth connection used by Apple devices for audio.
40h Battery · Fast Fuel
All-Day Play — Never Run Out
40 hours of continuous playback from a single charge means the Solo3 can run for a full work week without recharging — five days of 8-hour listening before the battery is exhausted. In practice, most users charge every few days. Fast Fuel is Beats’ term for the charging circuit that delivers 3 hours of playback from just 5 minutes on charge — enough to get through a commute, a gym session or a long call if you forgot to charge overnight. Charging is via the standard micro-USB port. When the battery is completely empty, the included 3.5mm remote talk cable connects the Solo3 to any device with a headphone jack for wired listening — so the headphones are never completely unusable.
Class 1 Bluetooth · Rose Gold
Extended Range · Discontinued Colourway
Class 1 Bluetooth operates at higher transmit power than the Class 2 standard, extending the reliable connection range to approximately 100 metres in open space versus the 10m of standard Bluetooth. In practice this means the signal holds through multiple walls in a house, across an office floor, or in a large open area — the phone can stay on a desk while you move around the building. The Rose Gold colourway is the most sought-after discontinued Solo3 colour. Beats removed it from production as part of their lineup simplification, and new units have been unavailable from Beats retail for some time. This refurbished unit is genuine, serial-verified, and fully functional — and represents the only route to owning this colourway outside the secondhand market.
