Solid sound, 50 hours of battery life, spatial audio and cross-platform features elevate fourth-gen Beats
The Solo 4 headphones are a revamp of the fan favourite that helped make Beats a household name, upgraded with longer battery life, better sound and modern Apple and Android-loving features.
The original Solo HD launched in 2009 and was most recently updated as the Solo 3 in 2016 after Apple’s purchase of Beats. Now in their fourth generation, the Solo are the company’s smallest and lightest headphones, costing £200 (€230/$200/A$330), and sit below the £350 Studio Pro.
