Beats Solo 4 Headphones Are up to 40% Off in Amazon’s Spring Sale.
Amazon’s Spring Sale features a wide selection of discounted headphones . You can find models from a variety of companies and brands, including JBL , Shokz , Sennheiser , and Sony . But if you’re looking for new Beats headphones, especially over-ear ones, check out the Beats Solo 4. Amazon is currently offering them at up to 40% off depending on the color, meaning you can get them for just $119.99.
According to Beats, the Solo 4 can last up to 50 hours on a single charge. When they’re empty, they can be plugged into the charger for 10 minutes, providing five hours of audio playback. They support spatial sound with head tracking, which, with the right music or movie selection, can create the illusion of 360-degree surround sound. Beats also claims the Solo 4 are equipped with “improved drivers” and “rebalanced acoustics,” so they likely sound slightly better than your old Beats.
Like all Bluetooth headphones, Beats works with all major platforms, including iOS and Android. But since Beats is owned by Apple, they’re especially useful within the Apple ecosystem. When you first turn on the Solo 4, it automatically pairs with your iPhone. After setup, you can switch between devices, and the Solo 4 will do the same automatically. I find this convenient with AirPods for watching movies and TV shows on Apple TV, and then I switch back to my iPhone to watch a video sent by a friend.
Perhaps the Solo 4’s most significant drawback is the lack of active noise cancellation, which is likely due to their design. They’re over-ear headphones, meaning they naturally sit on your ears. This design has become something of a Beats signature, but it may not suit everyone. If you prefer over-ear headphones, you might want to consider the Beats Studio Pro , which are also discounted as part of Amazon’s spring sale and feature noise cancellation. However, the Beats Solo 4 are cheaper, so that’s worth considering.
At the time of writing, the biggest discounts are on the Black & Gold and Metallic Pink models. You can also get the Solo 4 in Cloud Pink, Matte Black, and Slate Blue at a discounted price of $149.95. That’s still a decent discount compared to the $199.95 price, but if color isn’t important to you, you can save another $30 by choosing the other two options.
