"I've spent a lot of time testing headphones, and I always find a new favorite with every new release. But one pair of headphones will always hold a special place in my heart, years after their launch: the Beats Solo 3 on-ear headphones. The Solo 3 awakened my passion for headphones; they were the first pair I spent more than $50 on. I bought a Rose Gold pair in high school with the money from my first job, and they stuck with me throughout college."
"The Solo 4 design shows Beats' shift away from flashy, chrome accents adorned with heavy branding, toward a muted matte finish with simpler elements. I think Apple may have influenced these design choices. The Solo 4 ditches the mini USB port and instead has a USB-C port for charging and lossless audio. You can also now plug the headphones into a device to listen and charge them simultaneously."
Beats Solo 4 on-ear headphones retail for $200 in Matte Black, Slate Blue, and Cloud Pink, with a Walmart sale at $150 and promotional offers including Apple Music. The Solo 4 revives the Solo line after an eight-year gap with a muted matte finish, reduced branding, and a leaner aesthetic that suggests Apple influence. The headphones replace a mini USB port with USB-C for charging and lossless audio, and support simultaneous listening while charging. The Cloud Pink color provides nostalgic appeal. The on-ear clamping and relatively small ear cups may reduce comfort and shorten listening sessions for some users.
