There\u2019s not much<\/span> to the new Beats Solo 4<\/a> headphones at first glance. Starkly missing in this $200 package is any form of noise canceling or transparency mode. There\u2019s no auto pause feature or water-resistance rating\u2014something you might expect from headphones<\/a> shown as jogging companions in marketing videos.<\/p>\n

Beats seems proud of the Solo 4\u2019s stark minimalism, pointing instead to their slimline design, upgraded sound, and versatile core features. Highlights include up to 50 hours of playback per charge, the ability to plug in with either 3.5-mm or USB-C for lossless audio, and most convenient, in-house features for both Android and Apple phones like one-touch pairing and a headphones tracker.<\/p>\n

I was admittedly dismissive of the Solo 4 for their lack of firepower at first, but over multiple days of testing, the sound kept calling me back. Their warm, clean, and buttery performance stems from a redesigned acoustic architecture that proves Apple\u2019s sonic influence on the Beats brand runs deep. You can get a lot more tech from other options, but there\u2019s enough here to make the Solo 4 worth considering for some\u2014especially once the price inevitably drops.<\/p>\n

Slick and Simple<\/h2>\n

The Solo 4\u2019s aesthetic hasn\u2019t strayed far from its roots. You\u2019ll get all the trappings of a modern Beats device here, like matte plastic casing in flamboyant colors and the signature Beats logo on each earcup. The headphones fold down for travel, fitting into a nifty compact case with pockets inside for the included 3.5-mm and USB-C cables.<\/p>\n
