Beats Solo 4

Beats' latest on-ear headphones lack noise canceling and auto pause, but they sound fantastic.

Clear and buttery smooth sound signature. Good instrumental separation. Quiet noise floor. One-touch pairing and Find My device tracking for Android and Apple. Hands-free Siri and Apple Spatial Audio support. Compact carrying case for easy packing....

No noise canceling or transparency mode. No water or dust resistance certification. No auto pause. Firm fit may be too tight for some. Pricey at full cost.

Beats Solo 4 Review: Big Performance Upgrades, but Wait for a Sale

They mostly look the same as their predecessor, but the Beats Solo 4's sound quality, voice-calling performance, feature set and battery life are noticeably improved.

Improved sound and voice-calling performance Strong battery life USB-C audio Spatial audio with head tracking for Apple users Android compatible

No active noise canceling No ear-detection sensors

Beats Solo 4 on-ear headphones have pretty much the same look on the outside as the 3s but some notable improvements on the inside that bump their performance by about 25% to 30% when it comes to sound quality, battery life and voice-calling. Would I...

Beats Solo 4 review: playing both sides

Beats' on-ear headphones get an overdue refresh with a more comfortable design, longer battery life, and wired audio over both USB-C and the 3.5mm jack — but no ANC.

Very long battery life Supports both USB-C and 3.5mm wired audio More comfortable than previous Solo headphones

$200, but no active noise cancellation They’re not water- or sweat-resistant

They look like Beats headphones. They sound like Beats headphones. The battery life can stretch to a new high of 50 hours. Those things alone all but guarantee that the new Beats Solo 4 on-ear wireless headphones will prove just as successful as their...

Beats Solo 4 Review

Beats Solo 4 wireless headphones deliver the same sculpted sound and seamless Apple device support as their predecessors while adding hands-free Siri, personalized spatial audio, and a few extra hours of battery life. They still don't support active...

Sculpted sound with accentuated bass and highs Hands-free Siri Wired audio via 3.5mm or USB-C

Expensive Lack noise cancellation No adjustable EQ

The Beats Solo 4 headphones produce satisfying sound and support hands-free Siri, though they leave out expected features at this price like active noise cancellation and adjustable EQ.
