Beats Solo 4 Review

Plenty of features for iPhone and Android users

Small package ; Plenty of features ; Long battery life

Uncomfortable ; No ANC

The Beats Solo 4 can sound good, easily handling all genres of music without focusing too much on bass. They’re small, light and play well with iOS and Android. If you’re a fan of the standard AirPods sound profile, these will feel familiar.

Beats Solo 4 review: a solid update to an iconic pair of wireless headphones, but the competition is now too hot

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...

Excellent passive noise isolation Strong battery life Good connectivity options

No active noise cancellation Uncomfortable for extended use Average sound quality

The Beats Solo 4 are the long-awaited on-ear wireless headphones that aim to improve on the company's 2016 Solo 3 with an increased battery life and additional features, including a USB-C port for simultaneous charging and lossless hi-res audio...

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

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.

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...
