The Beats Solo 4 are Beats’ on-ear wireless headphones, built around custom 40 mm transducers, up to 50 hours of listening on one charge and a weight of just 217 g. They add Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking and can play lossless audio over a USB-C or 3.5 mm cable. One thing to know before buying: the Beats Solo 4 have no active noise cancelling; isolation comes from the UltraPlush cushions. This listing is Matte Black, the all-black finish with a soft, non-glossy surface.

Sound: 40 mm transducers and spatial audio
Beats built the Beats Solo 4 around custom 40 mm transducers designed to minimise electronic artifacts, latency and distortion. The tuning is the balanced, punchy Beats sound rather than the heavy bass of older Solo models.
Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking uses built-in gyroscopes and accelerometers to keep the sound anchored as you turn your head, which makes films and supported music feel as if they come from around you instead of from inside your head.
Lossless audio over USB-C or 3.5 mm
The Beats Solo 4 can play lossless audio over a wired connection, either through the included USB-C to USB-C cable or through the included 3.5 mm audio cable. That is useful on a plane’s entertainment system, on a laptop for editing, or whenever you want the best quality your source can deliver without Bluetooth compression.
50 hours of battery and Fast Fuel
Beats rates the Beats Solo 4 at up to 50 hours of listening on a single charge. Because there is no noise cancelling to run, there is no separate ‘ANC on’ figure; Beats publishes this single number. Fast Fuel gives up to 5 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge.
For most people, that means charging once a week or less. The USB-C cable in the box doubles as the charging cable; the power adapter is sold separately.
Comfort, weight and fit
At 217 g, the Beats Solo 4 are light enough for a full day. UltraPlush on-ear cushions sit on the ear rather than around it and provide passive noise isolation, and the design folds compactly into the included carrying case.
On-ear headphones press lightly on the outer ear. Some people find that comfortable for hours; others, especially those who wear glasses, prefer over-ear cups.
Calls, pairing and finding them
Multiple digital beam-forming microphones with a voice-targeting algorithm handle calls. Class 1 Bluetooth, listed as Bluetooth 5.3, gives extended range. One-touch pairing and automatic pre-pairing across devices work on both iOS and Android, and the Beats Solo 4 support Find My on Apple devices and Find My Device on Android, plus Audio Sharing and hands-free Siri on Apple devices.
Why Matte Black
Matte Black is the Beats Solo 4 finish for people who want headphones that go with everything: black headband, black cups, black cushions and a matte surface that does not shine under office lights or in photos. It is also the most forgiving colour for daily commuting, because dark cushions do not show make-up or skin oils the way the pink and blue ones can. Wipe the cushions with a dry cloth after long sessions. The same headphones also come in Slate Blue, Cloud Pink and Matte Gray.
Who This Is Not For
If you need active noise cancelling for flights or open offices, the Beats Solo 4 are the wrong choice; they rely on passive isolation only. Beats does not list any water or sweat resistance, so they are not gym headphones. On-ear pressure can become tiring for some wearers over many hours. And the box does not include a power adapter.
