Beats Solo 4 headphones just hit their lowest price of the year. The lossless-audio capable cans are down to about $129.95, a $70 cut from their usual $199.95, at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. That deep discount aligns with the best price we’ve seen so far in 2026. The Verge

The Solo 4 line stays plugged into a multi-device world by supporting lossless audio over USB-C or a 3.5mm cable, and they pair with both iOS and Android ecosystems. They also carry forward features that help you track them if they’re misplaced, including compatibility with Apple Find My and Google Find Hub. Android users gain automatic device switching, while iPhone owners can tap into head-tracking spatial audio. The Verge

Battery life is a highlight here, with nearly two full days of listening on a charge and the option to keep using them in wired mode once the battery runs out. The downside is a lack of active noise cancellation, with the headphones leaning on memory foam ear cups for passive noise isolation instead. The Verge

Color options remain varied at launch and during the sale, with black, light pink, and blue models on sale at various retailers, and Target listing additional discounted variants such as gold. The price cut and color assortment are part of a broader push to keep Beats in reach for everyday listening. The Verge

For shoppers weighing the tradeoffs, the obvious question is whether you want ANC at a similar price point. The Solo 4 undercuts many noise-canceling rivals on price, but its absence of active noise cancellation is a meaningful caveat in loud environments. In practice, the Solo 4 appeal rests in lossless audio support, cross-platform compatibility, and a long battery life at a publicized low price. As a real-world option, they’re a strong pick for Apple users who also value Android compatibility, provided you can tolerate passive noise isolation. The Verge
