Beats division of Apple unveiled a new set of headphones and a set of TWS earbuds. They were introducing the Beats Solo 4 and the Beats Solo Buds.
Beats Solo 4
First, let’s talk about the headphones. The official press release of the Beats Solo 4 states that it features “ergonomically angled ear cups,” a flex-grip headband, programmable sliders, and a lightweight design that weighs just 217g.
With 40mm transducers designed specifically for the Solo 4, “minimize electronic artifacts, latency, and distortion” to provide “extraordinary clarity and range.” Additionally, it boasts improved beam-forming microphones and an advanced noise-learning system for high-quality calls. It also supports Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking.
On iOS and Android, pairing is simple and requires only one touch. The Solo 4 is compatible with Find My or Find My Device on those specific mobile operating systems. You can also use “Hey Siri” and audio sharing hands-free on iOS.
The Solo 4 has a 3.5 mm analog input for cable playing without a battery and a USB-C connection that supports USB-C audio and simultaneous charging. You may answer calls, use your voice assistant, and adjust the volume by pressing the B button above or below.
Up to 50 hours of battery life on a single charge is guaranteed, while Fast Fuel allows for up to 5 hours of playing on a 10-minute charge.
For $199.99, you can get the Beats Solo 4 in Matte Black, Slate Blue, and Cloud Pink right now. On May 2, shipping will begin.
Beats Solo Buds
The brand’s “big Beats sound in the smallest case” is what these earbuds are all about. They come with “ergonomically designed acoustic nozzles and laser-cut vents” to boost audio performance while reducing pressure. The box contains four ear tip sizes: XS, S, M, and L.
Each earbud features dual-layer transducers for high-fidelity music “with uncompromising clarity and detail,” “designed to minimize micro-distortions across the frequency curve.” Every bud features a specially-made microphone equipped with a sophisticated noise-learning algorithm.
They support Google’s Find My Device and Apple’s Find My networks, and like the Solo 4, they can easily be paired with iOS and Android devices.
Here, the primary control is the B button, which supports single-tap and long-press gestures. The Beats app or iOS Settings are where you may adjust these. Up to 18 hours of playback may be obtained from a single charge of the Beats Solo Buds, and an additional hour can be obtained from a 5-minute charge when using Fast Fuel.
In June, the $79.99 Solo Buds in Matte Black, Storm Gray, Arctic Purple, and Transparent Red will be on sale.
