Amazon has the Beats Solo 4 in an exclusive "Metallic Pink" finish, which is nice, and right now they're for $99.95, half off the $199.95 list price, which is nicer—this is the lowest price ever for this version of the popular Beats over-ear headphones, according to price trackers.

The Solo 4 are decently portable, weighing around 217g (light for on-ear headphones) and foldable, and they come with a carrying case so you can drop them into your work or gym bag without thinking much about it. Their firm fit also keeps them in place during walks or lighter workouts, though the lack of an official water- or sweat-resistance rating means you will still need to be mindful of what you're doing with them.

The Solo 4 sound more balanced than older Beats headphones, with clearer vocals and less of the heavy bass that defined earlier models—that might suit listeners who found previous versions too boomy, though anyone expecting a strong low-end punch may find this pair a little restrained. You can listen wirelessly over Bluetooth 5.3 or plug in through USB-C or the included 3.5mm cable, with wired connections supporting lossless audio. That said, there is no active noise cancellation or transparency mode, and passive isolation is modest, so trains, traffic, and nearby conversations can compete with your music. Beats also leaves out an adjustable equalizer and automatic pause when you remove the headphones.

Pairing is simple on both iPhone and Android, with device-finding support on both platforms—but iPhone users also get hands-free Siri and Personalized Spatial Audio with head tracking, notes this PCMag review. That said, the feature that may prove more useful in everyday use is its battery life, with Beats claiming up to 50 hours per charge, depending on how you use them, and a 10-minute Fast Fuel charge adding another five hours. That endurance helps make up for the lack of active noise cancellation, an omission that would be difficult to overlook at the full $199.95 price. At around $100, however, the Solo 4 are easier to consider as lightweight everyday wireless headphones for someone who values battery life, portability, and easy phone pairing.
