The Beats Solo 4 has an ultralight design, weighing just 217g (which is less than an iPhone 15 Pro Max, by the way), and UltraPlush cushions, a flex-grip headband, customizable sliders, and "ergonomically angled ear cups", the official press release says.
The Solo 4 features custom-built 40mm
transducers that "minimize electronic artifacts, latency, and distortion",
enabling "extraordinary clarity and range". It also supports Spatial
Audio with dynamic head tracking, and has upgraded beam-forming mics along with
an intelligent noise-learning algorithm for high quality calls.
Pairing is seamless and one-touch on both
iOS and Android, and the Solo 4 supports Find My or Find My Device on those
respective mobile operating systems. On iOS you also get hands-free access to
"Hey Siri" and Audio Sharing.
The Solo 4 have both a USB-C port (with
support for USB-C audio and simultaneous charging) and a 3.5 mm analog input
for battery-free wired playback. The b button lets you take calls or activate
your voice assistant, and to control volume you press above or below it. Battery
life is promised to be up to 50 hours on one charge, and with Fast Fuel you get
up to 5 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge.
The Beats Solo 4 are available to order
today in Matte Black, Slate Blue, and Cloud Pink for US$ 199.99.
