Beats Solo Buds review: Who wants bass?

I was out on my first evening walk with the Beats Solo Buds when I noticed something was really different from what I was used to. I could hear the workers setting up the Durga Puja Pandal in our society yard, the traffic a distance away and even some strays expressing their discomfort at my intrusion. Then it dawned on me, I was using a truly wireless earphone without noise cancellation after a really long time. The past year of so of my reviewing life has been as if there is no other option. But the Beats Solo Buds wants you to look at regular earbuds too as something that still makes sense.
