These On-Ear Beats Headphones Are Marked Down by $70

New York: You can save $70 on the Beats Solo 4 headphones at Amazon and Best Buy. These headphones are wireless but don’t have active noise canceling. Some people might prefer this design because they want to hear their surroundings, or they care about battery life.

These Beats headphones sound different from older models. Apple has made the sound smoother and more balanced. A reviewer said they have a “pleasant layer of smoky warmth.” The sound is good but not quite as great as more expensive pairs. You can’t change how they sound either since they don’t have a custom equalizer.

These headphones look good, with colors like matte black, slate blue, and even bright pink. They fold up neatly, making them easy to carry around or throw in your gym bag. Even without noise-canceling features, they still block some outside noise, which is helpful.

The Beats Solo 4 work well with both Android and iOS devices. They have a simple pairing process. Depending on your device, you can use features like Find My and voice control. However, automatically switching between devices is only for Google users, and they don’t pause themselves when you take them off. They do have a great range, which is a plus.

While the Beats Solo 4 aren’t the top choice for everyone, their on-ear design and lack of noise canceling may be just right for some people. This deal is available at Best Buy and Amazon while it lasts.
