Perfect headphones BUT are not noise cancelling!!

I absolutely loved these beautiful Beats and bought them because I took some reviews that the noise cancelling was not bad. They were easy to set up on my Samsung S24 Ultra. I used them while traveling and my family could hear everything from the airport announcements and they couldn’t hear me. I had to return them and get different ones with the noise cancelling. I highly recommend these Solo 4 Beats IF YOU DO NOT wear them in public areas.

Uncomfortable after a while

Great sounds, battery long lasting but it’s so closed that it overheats the earth and its quite uncomfortable after 30 minutes

Love Them!

The media could not be loaded.

I was debating on whether I should purchase these beats because of the reviews. But these are great. These are my first headphones I’ve ever purchased. I was more of an airpod girly, but i’m never going back.I wear these for the gym, road trips, etc. They hurt a little if you wear them for a couple hours, but for the most part, that’s normal. Also, if you are a sister like me, AND WEAR LONG BRAIDS, Make sure you push them back bc my ears were sooo sore from having my braids under the beats. The volume is loud. I don’t usually have the volume up all the way, BUT they work just as well. When they first arrived, I was skeptical about the duration bc they were giving a little flimsy, but they’ve held up well(It’s been 2 months with them).Love the color and everything. Step out of your comfort zone and get the blue color. Everyone else has black and it’s very sleek.Overall, 5/5

Awesome

I actually didn’t think that these would work as well as they do. But when you turn on the noise canceling, you really can’t hear anything except for whatever you’re listening too on the headset. And the deal I got on them was so amazing that I definitely couldn’t pass it up. My granddaughter loves them and takes them almost everywhere she goes including to school, so she can listen to music on the way and on the way back home.

Was able to finally auto pair

18.0.1 iOS for iPhone 15 Pro. I can’t automatically pair. It starts to look like it’s going to pair but it doesn’t. I am disappointed because I think this is the way to see the headphone battery level. Overall I do like the sound and the fit is decent. I wear glasses and they don’t seem to bother me. I really like them, they sound great with the USB cord attached to phone. I’m happy with my purchase and the price. I have a hard time wearing AirPods because they hurt my ears and I’m prone to losing them or dropping them. This was a great solution. I just wish they would automatically connect. I did troubleshoot by resetting and turning the phone off and on. A new iOS just came out so I’ll see if that helps. If it does I’ll update my review. People say it looks lilac which I was kind of hoping for but to me it’s just a very light pale pink. Update: 18.1.1 iOS did fix the issue of the not automatically pairing. I’m so happy because it has settings and shows the batter power, similar to just AirPods do. If you’re looking for headphones, I highly recommend. I never thought I’d buy beats, thought they were overhyped but I’m really enjoying them and glad I made the purchase, especially on sale. Im happy with the design, quality and functionality of the Beats Solo Pro 4.

Great balance between performance and affordability.

I was looking to upgrade from my AirPods and found these headphones to be a great alternative. The ear pads are soft and comfortable, even though they’re not over-ear pads, which was a concern for me initially. They don’t cause any soreness during shorter listening sessions, but after 2-3 hours, you might start to feel some pressure and need to adjust them for better comfort.One of the standout features is the seamless connectivity with my MacBook and iOS devices, making switching between them hassle-free. They also support Apple’s Spatial Audio, which enhances the listening experience, especially for music and movies designed for immersive sound.While they don’t include active noise cancellation, which would have been a nice addition, the extended battery life more than compensates for it. I’ve been impressed by how long they last on a single charge, making them reliable for long workdays or travel.Overall, these headphones strike a great balance between performance and affordability. If you’re seeking an upgrade with solid features like Spatial Audio and great battery life, these are worth considering, even without noise cancellation.

Missed having Beats! We’re back baby!

I’ve owned wired Solo Beats and wireless Studio(original for both) in the past and loved them. But when my Studios died after about 5 years, I settled on a cheap knockoff to get me by while I waited for a deal on real Beats. Then the day came that these Solo 4s went on sale for $99.99—half off! I’d been eyeing the black and gold pair for sooooo long. So I purchased them with a quickness. I love having that amazing Beats sound quality back! The quality of these headphones are great. Super easy to connect to my phone. Love the color combo of black and gold. And most of all, I love that I got such a good deal on them!

Almost perfect. Worth the price (on sale).

I am a fairly heavy user of headphones and most recently have used AirPod Pro 2’s. I got the beats solo 4 on sale.The sound is very good. The battery life is amazing. The blue color is nice. It is nice that it supports lossless audio via USB-C and also comes with both the USB-C cord and a 3.5 mm male to male cord. They are also very light, and they charge very quickly.They work great with Apple phones and other devices, including spatial audio. They pair easily. There isn’t very much to complain about.The only negatives that I have found so far is that it’s not quite as convenient to switch between devices because it does not contain the Apple H1/H2 chip, and the clamping force of the headphones is a little too tight if you wear glasses. Hopefully that will loosen up on my particular headphones.The lack of ANC is not a big deal. The earcups are very comfortable and they block out as much noise as a cheaper pair of ANC headphones. But, if you were looking for the sort of silence that you would receive from a more expensive pair of headphones, you probably should buy a more expensive pair of headphones.The carrying case is nice and the headphones do fold to a fairly small size. They also seem fairly durable. The only discomfort that I have wearing them is from the clamping force; I don’t know whether I have a larger small head, but I am about 6 feet tall and male. Maybe a smaller framed person would not have that difficulty.. I can wear them for a couple of hours and then it’s time to give my head a rest. I’d say for the price that I paid that is worth the trouble.It’s a common joke that beats headphones are typically found around people’s necks. I don’t know whether that is true, but I can tell you that they are very comfortable around your neck. The smaller ear cups and general lightweight nature of this set of earphones make them a perfect candidate for wearing around your neck.Finally, as a recent (and still) Apple snob, it is a little disappointing that the headphones don’t know whether they are on your head or sitting on a chair, so they do not pause when you take them off. Of course, they do not have any sort of passthrough sound capability.If, like me, you are slightly disgusted that Apple failed to make any meaningful update to the Apple branded headphones that still cost an arm and a leg this year, these are a nice compromise, considering the price.I saved the best for last and if you continued reading to this point, congratulations, because one of the things it is difficult to ascertain with an online purchase is microphone quality (for calls or voice recognition). It is excellent, and the headphones sound at least as good as my AirPods Pro 2’s for calls in both loud and quiet environments.

They are great but have 1 big defect

I loved these, they are great and the sound is really good.The only big problem they have, is that they don’t turn off when you take them off.You need to turn them off manually and this is not common with the competence, so I have left them some times on and lose battery when I want to use them.

Great!

Bought these for my son for his birthday. They are a little smaller so I wouldn’t recommend them for teenagers to wear. They work well and true to color. They are easy to connect and the charge last for awhile.

Great

Purchased this for my husband as an early Christmas present because he’s been wanting one for a while. Liked them so much, I ordered myself one too! Sound is amazing and the fit is so comfortable.

Comfortable and cute

These are my favorite headphones. I run a lot and they work great and last for hours! They fit very comfortably over my ears and they are a little bit water resistant, but I wouldn’t get them too wet though. The design is very stylish and sleek. The buttons are easy to access and use. The range is pretty good. These are very expensive headphones, but worth the investment in my opinion, they last for years!

Better than Stuido Pros

I first picked up the Beats Studio Pros from Costco and tried them for two weeks. For being $350, they were terrible. My old “lower-quality” Sony noise canceling headphones performed better than the latest and greatest headphone? No way. So I returned it and swore off Beats products. Then I saw my sister was using the Beats Solo4s and tried them, expecting the StuidoPro experience. The sound quality greatly surpassed them and they fit snugly on my head. Impressed, I went on Amazon, found them at 50% off and picked them up. $200 is a bit overpriced imo for the features these include, but for $100 they’re definitely worth it.They are great for working out, a bit tight on your head, great fashion accessory, and sound fantastic for what they are especially without having noise canceling features. They keep out excess noise fairly well although I mostly use them at the gym. I have to take them off in order to hear someone if they talk to me. I got some sweat covers for the leather cushions so I would recommend that if you plan on sweating extensively with them like I do.

Great headphones for the gym

I bought these headphones to use at the gym. They sound great. If you have a big head like I do then you might have issues with comfort the first few times that you wear them. Also, since they fit on the ears, you really can’t wear them for more than an hour and a half or so without them starting to bother you. Overall, I would say that I’m happy with them

Beats Solo 4

I recently purchased a new pair of Beats Solo 4 wireless headphones. I have a pair of Solo 3s but the on/off switch no longer works. I discovered that a repair would cost almost the same as a new set. So, I decided to buy new. Thus far, they seem pretty much the same as the Solo 3s. The biggest difference is that the 4s have 50 hours of battery life. At least that’s what the Amazon description claims. However, the paperwork and box states that 4s only have 40 hours, the same as the 3’s. I feel deceived but I don’t intend to send them back. I like them otherwise and 40 hours isn’t bad.

Great sound and easy to set up.

At the Black Friday price, these seem well worth it so far. I have a big head and these adjusted easily (note that you will have to make them smaller again if you want to squeeze themBack in the carrying case), they sound amazing and best of all, the set up was easiest thing I’ve ever purchased and set up.

Could be better

I had a solo 3 pair that lasted 4 years with heavy use.Problem has always been bluetooth drops on phonecalls, using Android devices. Very intermittent issues but could never fully trust it.I deleted / added the connection numerous times as well as the app and setup. I think these are made to work with Apple and Android is an afterthought

Great quality!

Got these for boyfriend’s birthday present…. He loves them and said they are very good quality! He works in a warehouse where it gets loud, and said that with these headphones it cut out all the background noise and the sound and range are awesome. He said they are way better than the set he had actually been looking at, which were more expensive.

Read the review.

First of all, I was undecided which over the headphones to buy simply because there are so many; ie bose, beats, Beats Pro, Jbl.My thought process considered which of these headphones were most compatible with an iPhone. The advertisement on the packaging says compatible with “IPhone.” Works with android.The main purpose of these solo 4 beats was to bring them to the gym and anywhere else I might want to watch Netflix in public or what have you. It was not an intended use to use them while making phone calls. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised how remarkably compatible they are with the sound quality while listening to music or Netflix. It is noise canceling and like your in a theater.I would absolutely recommend these headphones if you’re solely using them for the gym and or watching TV with.Something else to consider, you can pair these to a smart TV if you don’t want noise for the rest of the household. That’s another function.. again intelligent, frugal, affordable purchase. Well worth the investment.

Good Headphones for Most, but Not for Me

It’s been a while since I last owned a pair of Beats and I thought these would be better, when in reality, it was just more of the same. The only real good thing I can say about these is that they do, in fact, have great battery life and their design is sleek, but other than that, they just weren’t for me.These Beats Solo 4’s do come with a carrying case along with the charging cable and an AUX cable for wired playback, which I appreciate. The headphones fold up compactly and they are easy to transport, but I do have one issue with the folding mechanism that I’ll talk about later. The headphones are lightweight and small, and the design is great. The headphones are easy to adjust for your head size, and the ear pads have modest cushioning. The Bluetooth pairing is simple, and on my iPhone I was immediately prompted when they were powered on to connect them.Now, let me talk about the sound quality. Unlike the older Beats which were mostly bass focused, in my opinion, these headphones were much more neutral with a flatter EQ that I generally prefer. It makes game audio richer when listening for enemies, it makes background instruments in songs more vibrant and focused, and it just allows you to hear things more how they truly sound. Except, something went wrong with the treble or the midtones or something as they were extremely sharp sounding. Most music sounds great and it is harder to notice this sharpness unless the volume is loud, but for listening to podcasts or watching online videos- that sharpness is extremely noticeable, especially in people with softer speaking voices as they sound almost whispy with sharp “s” and “t” sounds. These sharper voices almost make it sound like people or hissing as they talk and I just couldn’t get over it. Admittingly, this issue is much less noticeable when using them wirelessly with my phone where I have more direct control of the EQ, but when using them wired on my PC or through my PlayStation controller, that ability to adjust the EQ diminishes. For movies or well produced content, some of that issue is more mild, but as a huge online content consumer, who mainly uses them wired, it was just not my taste. I know some won’t have this issue, and I just might be more sensitive to it, but that was my experience.Furthermore, we have to talk about my other complaints. First off, the hinge mechanism for holding the headphones is a bit dangerous if you have your hands near it when storing them, as I got my finger badly pinched a couple of times while doing just this. That may not be an issue for some, but I feel like I won’t be the only person to experience that. Additionally, the comfort could be a bit better. Despite the headphones being lightweight, the clamping force on the ear cups is still very strong and after just an hour of wearing them I would begin to get migraines from the pressure. My head is fairly normal sized, and even when adjusting the headband to be looser, that experience didn’t stop. The headband itself is also not that comfortable. The headband, which has a silicone-like padding, gets very thin and flattens out a lot as your body heat from your head warms it up. After a while, you will feel that the headband starts to sink a bit more into your scalp before it becomes uncomfortable. Once again, all of this is just my experience, but worth mentioning.The main thing I can say is that the battery life is actually really good. They seem to charge quickly, and I haven’t had issues with leaving the charger connected which destroyed one of my older Beats Studios from years ago. The battery seems to last forever as you scroll through videos, watch movies and play mobile games before that recharge is necessary.Overall, I ultimately returned these headphones. Not because they were bad, but just because they weren’t a good fit for me. The sharpness in some voices over the wired connection was hard to ignore, and the migraine inducing pain from the poor comfort also wasn’t worth the subpar experience I was having. While these headphones may still be great for a lot of people, I had to share my thoughts to be as honest as possible.

Good Headphones

I bought this product because my old headphones were driving me crazy. They were old and the battery life was getting really short and I was continually having to reconnect the cans to my iPad which was very annoying.These cans connected seamlessly with the iPad Air (which I also bought) and stay connected to them and there appear to be no battery issues. Sound quality is OK; I have no complaints.My only gripe is that the clamping of the headphones is on the strong side and may bother some people in terms of comfort. Other than that, they are fine. Not sure I would buy them at full retail, but at 50% off for Black Friday, they appear to be a solid buy.

50//50 about these

So I like them but they have a lot of icks for me.For one, I don’t like that it pulls my hair out when I take them off. I don’t like how little the earpieces are either. I wish they were a bit bigger.I like their fit tho. I can bend over and pick something up and they don’t fall off, that’s super important. I can also look up without them falling off. These don’t have noice canceling but really who cares because if you’re music is up enough you can’t really hear anything anyway.I wish there were more options for adjusting the way the sound is because it’s not 100% great quality.

The “noise cancellation”

I’ve never had headphones before i’ve always been more of a airpods person , I know, it does not have noise cancellation but you know since it covers your ears it stops some of the unnecessary sound, i love it for school it helps so i can focus more when people don’t stop talking, the only bad thing is that it hurts your ears after using them for some hours i don’t know if its because i am a big ear girly but overall super cute and nice sound! love it.

Great for general use

I use these all the time for the gym, to talk on the phone and I’ve been told the quality of the the microphone is great. I use it most of the time in Bluetooth mode since I have an iPhone. I tried using it for my call center job and they couldn’t hear me but for the gym or just to listen to music is great! The battery life hold up very well and the buttons are great when assigning a function.
