Looking to pick up a new pair of headphones? An on-ear pair gives you a balance between the full coverage of over-ear models and the portability of earbuds. The Beats Solo 4 takes advantage of this by featuring a redesigned frame and improved audio. These wireless Bluetooth headphones weigh just 217 grams, fold flat for easy carrying, and come with a soft case. Their custom 40mm drivers are tuned for clear mids and highs, along with the strong bass for which Beats is known. Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking creates an immersive experience for movies and music on Apple devices, adjusting the sound as you move your head.
Comfortable and high-quality open-ear headphones
The battery lasts up to 50 hours on one charge, making it one of the best in its class. If you’re in a hurry, Fast Fuel charging gives you about five hours of playback from just ten minutes of charging. The USB-C port supports both charging and wired listening, and a 3.5mm cable is included for devices without USB-C. Both cables support lossless audio through a built-in digital-to-analog converter, so you can connect to your phone, laptop, or in-flight entertainment and keep the sound quality high.
The headphones have a flexible headband with adjustable sliders and ear cups that tilt to fit your ears. Soft UltraPlush cushions cover the cups, and passive noise isolation helps block outside sounds without using active noise cancellation. This choice keeps the headphones light and extends battery life. The foldable design makes it easy to pack them in a bag, and the carrying case offers extra protection while traveling.
If you’re planning on using these headphones primarily for calls, you’ll notice they’re improved by several beam-forming microphones. This pair of headphones also have a voice-learning algorithm trained on thousands of hours of noisy situations. These microphones help capture your voice and reduce background noise during calls and when using voice assistants. You can control volume, skip tracks, or activate Siri directly from the ear cup, so you don’t need to use your phone.
The headphones pair easily with both iOS and Android devices. On iPhones with the latest software, just hold the headphones nearby for a quick one-tap setup. Android users can connect using Google Fast Pair or the Beats app. Class 1 Bluetooth gives you a longer wireless range and fewer dropouts, so you can move around without losing connection.
For $129.95, reduced from $199.95, the Beats Solo 4 offers long battery life, lightweight comfort, and works well with different devices. With lossless wired audio, clear call quality, and a foldable design, these headphones are easy to travel with and sound great. You won’t want to miss them while they’re available at this price.
