Beats Solo Buds


These earbuds pack "big Beats sound in the smallest case" the brand has ever made. They come with "ergonomically designed acoustic nozzles and laser-cut vents" to improve audio performance while relieving pressure. Four eartip sizes are in the box (XS, S, M, L).

Each earbud has dual-layer transducers "designed to minimize micro-distortions across the frequency curve", for high-fidelity sound "with uncompromising clarity and detail". Each bud has a custom-designed mic with an advanced noise-learning algorithm. Like the Solo 4, you can quickly and seamlessly pair these with both iOS and Android devices, and they also support Apple's Find My and Google's Find My Device networks.

The b button is once again the main control here, with single-tap and long-press supported. These can be configured in iOS Settings or the Beats app. The Beats Solo Buds come with up to 18 hours of playback on one charge, and with Fast Fuel, you get an extra hour from a 5-minute charge.

The Solo Buds will be available in June in Matte Black, Storm Gray, Arctic Purple, and Transparent Red for US$ 79.99.
