What makes the Solo 4 the better buy compared to their predecessor: a longer battery life (a claimed 50-hour playtime, instead of 40-), clearer acoustics and balanced bass, plus a Type-C charging input rather than a traditional USB. It’s an improvement that reviewers are touting as “massive.”
They also sport spatial mode with head tracking, lossless audio, fast-charging capabilities for 5-hour playtime after a quick 10-minute charge a carry case, a foldable design and USB-C charging. Aptly summarized by one reviewer, the “Solo 4s are phenomenal at what they are intended for: casual use” with “much improved sound quality.” This deal is just too good to pass on grabbing that pristine tech.
Although they’re not marketed as having active noise-canceling, reviewers say that’s debatable. “I turned down my music to low levels and could not hear my spouse right next to me,” says jfe about the over-ear quality. “The sound is great — very little outside sounds,” says Vivian Martin.
Compatible with Apple and Android devices alike, the Beats Solo 4 headphones also deliver plush over-ear comfort, plus adjustability for the best fit. “The ear cushions are super soft and comfortable and provide a nice seal without pinching or squeezing my ears” says Bmwcarol, “thus allowing the audio to be the main focus ... [T]hese headphones are ultra customizable to fit most everyone. The headband offers an easy slide to lengthen or shorten as needed.”
