Verdict

The SOL Republic Soundtrack Wireless is an over-ear headphone featuring 40mm dynamic drivers and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity with a 15-meter range. It is distinguished by an exceptional battery life of up to 42 hours (with some manufacturer ratings reaching 48 hours) and supports USB-C quick charging, providing several hours of playback from a short 15-minute charge. Main pros include its durable, foldable design with stainless steel hinges, comfortable memory foam ear cushions, and a clear onboard microphone for calls. However, significant cons include a lacks of active noise cancellation (exclusive to the 'Pro' model), a relatively tight clamping force that may cause discomfort during long sessions, and the absence of a companion app for EQ customisation.
