Modeled after the Beats Studio Pro, the Beats Solo 4 offer the same great sound quality and comfortable design but at a more affordable price and without noise canceling.

I own a pair of Beats Solo 4, and they've been my go-to companion for running errands for the last year. When my colleague Kate reviewed the Beats Solo 4, she highlighted its impressive 50 hours of battery life, and it's one of my favorite perks too. I've found I routinely go several days of using these headphones without having to top up the battery.

You can use these wirelessly — whether you're on Android or iOS — but plugging them in via the included 3.5mm cable unlocks even better sound. The Solo 4 supports hi-res audio over a wired connection, making them a great match for lossless tracks from services like Apple Music and Amazon Music Unlimited. While they might not compete with higher-end wireless models, for the price, the Solo 4 deliver solid audio quality.

Comfort is another strong point, thanks to redesigned ear cushions originally introduced with the Studio Pro. This updated foam makes the Solo 4 comfortable enough for long listening sessions without my ears starting to hate me.

While they didn’t quite earn a spot on our list of the best wireless headphones, the Beats Solo 4 are still an excellent option for anyone after a dependable, great-sounding pair of over-ear headphones. And for less than $100, they’re an even better value than ever.
