Excellent passive noise isolation ; Strong battery life ; Good connectivity options

No active noise cancellation ; Uncomfortable for extended use ; Average sound quality

With a great battery life and impressive passive isolation from outside noise, the Beats Solo 4 wireless on-ear headphones perform well in certain areas. The wired USB-C connectivity for lossless audio is a welcome addition, as is Apple's head-tracked...

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.

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

The omission of noise cancellation on the Solo 4 could be a real obstacle for some, but I don’t think it’ll be enough to dampen their appeal to the masses who’ve been cycling through Beats products for so many years now. Even if you’re buying largely...
