Overview
Beats Solo 4 is an on-ear wireless headphone with up to 50 hours of battery life and support for both wired lossless audio and wireless Spatial Audio with head tracking. It pairs with iOS and Android alike.
Beats built this generation around dual-input flexibility: it plays wireless over Bluetooth, or wired over USB-C or a 3.5mm cable for lossless sound when a wire is preferred. Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking is an Apple-ecosystem feature, so Android owners get the standard stereo experience without that layer. Class 1 Bluetooth is the less common of the two Bluetooth power classes, which Beats says extends usable range and cuts dropouts compared to the Class 2 radios in most headphones.
- Up to 50-hour battery life
- Spatial Audio with head tracking (iOS)
- Wired lossless audio via USB-C or 3.5mm
- Class 1 Bluetooth for extended range
Who it's for
Listeners who move between an iPhone and an Android phone benefit most from the dual-pairing design. Anyone who wants an on-ear headphone light enough for a full day and a fast top-up before a battery dies mid-commute also fits.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Up to 50 hours of battery life
- Works wired or wireless, including lossless USB-C audio
- Fast Fuel gives 5 hours from a 10-minute charge
- One-touch pairing on both iOS and Android
- Spatial Audio head tracking is Apple-only
- On-ear fit, not over-ear, so isolation is lighter
Performance notes
Custom drivers and acoustic architecture aim for balanced output rather than heavy bass emphasis. Fast Fuel charging returns about 5 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge, useful for topping up between meetings rather than waiting out a full charge cycle. The flex-grip headband and angled ear cups are the fit mechanism for all-day wear.
