The Beats Solo Buds Matte Black (part number MUVW3) is the darkest and most understated version of Beats’ smallest true wireless earbuds. Beats took an unusual approach with them: the battery sits in the earbuds, not in the case. Beats rates the buds at up to 18 hours of playback, and a 5-minute Fast Fuel charge gives up to 1 hour when you are in a hurry. The case itself weighs 22 g and is the smallest Beats has made. There is no active noise cancelling, which keeps the design simple and light.

Matte Black: the colour that hides daily wear
A matte, non-reflective black finish is the most forgiving choice for earbuds that live in a pocket, a gym bag or a car console. It does not show fingerprints or fine scuffs the way glossy or transparent shells do, and dust and sweat marks are far less visible between cleanings. The Beats Solo Buds Matte Black also look discreet in the ear, which suits offices, lectures and video calls where a bright colour draws attention. It pairs easily with black phone cases, laptop bags and dark sportswear. To keep the finish looking new, wipe the buds and ear tips with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth after workouts.
How the battery and charging work
Most earbuds split their battery between the buds and a charging case. The Beats Solo Buds Matte Black keep all of it in the buds: up to 18 hours of playback according to Beats. The case is for carrying and protection and does not charge the buds on its own. To charge, seat the earbuds in the case and connect the case to a USB-C source. Beats says that source can be a phone, a tablet or a laptop, as well as a wall adapter. A 5-minute Fast Fuel top-up gives up to 1 hour of listening. The power adapter and USB-C cable are sold separately, so you will use a cable you already own.
Sound tuned for music
Beats describes a custom-built acoustic architecture for the Solo Buds. Dual-layer drivers are designed to minimise micro-distortions across the frequency range, and each driver is axially aligned, sitting parallel to the acoustic nozzle so sound travels more directly into the ear. Laser-cut vents aim to improve bass while gently relieving air pressure, which helps comfort over long sessions. Because there is no noise cancelling, the seal from the ear tips does the isolating, so choosing the right size from the four included makes a clear difference to bass on the Beats Solo Buds Matte Black.
Fit, buttons and calls
The nozzles are ergonomically angled to follow the ear canal, and Beats includes four ear tip sizes: XS, S, M and L. Each earbud weighs 5.7 g and measures 2.05 x 1.85 x 1.9 cm. Control is through one multi-function b button on each side, for playback, calls and your voice assistant. In iOS settings or the Beats app for Android you can set the buttons to adjust volume instead, with up on one side and down on the other. Each earbud also has its own microphone, and Beats uses what it calls an advanced noise-learning algorithm to keep your voice clear on calls.
iPhone and Android, plus Find My
The Beats Solo Buds Matte Black work natively with both platforms. On iPhone you get one-touch pairing, automatic pre-pairing across the devices on your Apple Account, and Apple Find My. On Android you get one-touch pairing and Google Find My Device, with settings in the Beats app. The Bluetooth radio is Class 1 Bluetooth 5.3, which Beats says gives extended range and fewer dropouts. The case measures 6.6 x 3.5 x 2.4 cm, small enough for a coin pocket. If you misplace the Beats Solo Buds Matte Black, Find My or Find My Device shows their last known location.
Who This Is Not For
The Beats Solo Buds Matte Black are not for you if you want active noise cancelling: Beats confirms they have none, and no Transparency mode is listed. The case has no battery, so you cannot recharge the buds from the case on its own while travelling; you always need a USB-C cable and a power source. Beats does not publish a water or sweat resistance rating, so they are a poor match for intense outdoor training or rain. No USB-C cable or power adapter comes in the box. If any of these points matter to you, the Beats Solo Buds Matte Black are the wrong pick.
