Beats Solo 4 release date: what is confirmed?
Apple Support states that “Beats Solo 4 were released in 2024.” Its support page does not specify a launch day, so an exact date cannot be confirmed from the official sources linked here. The headphones are now listed on both the Beats US site and Apple’s Store.

#1 Best Overall
- Custom acoustic architecture and updated drivers for powerful Beats sound.

Battery life and charging
Apple advertises up to 50 hours of listening time on a charge. Its listing also says a 10-minute Fast Fuel charge provides up to five hours of playback. Both are manufacturer-stated maximums; actual runtime depends on use, and the cited sources do not provide an independent battery test.
Wired listening, Bluetooth, and spatial audio
Solo 4 supports Bluetooth listening as well as wired audio through USB-C or the included 3.5 mm cable. Beats describes lossless audio over either wired connection. That is a manufacturer feature claim, not an independent assessment of sound quality; the lossless claim applies to cable listening rather than Bluetooth.
Rank #2
- Custom acoustic architecture and updated drivers for powerful Beats sound.
- Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking.
- Ultralight ergonomic design for all-day comfort. Flex-grip headband and ergonomically angled, adjustable ear cups for a stable fit.
- UltraPlush ear cushions are designed for comfort and durability.
- Up to 50 hours of battery life.
Beats also lists Personalized Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking. The product pages describe the feature but do not establish how it performs in independent testing. The headphones are on-ear; the cited listings do not establish active noise cancellation, so they should not be described as noise-cancelling.
Price, colors, and what comes in the box
At the time of the current Beats US listing, the price is $199.99. This is the manufacturer’s listed US price, not a guarantee of retailer pricing or stock. Beats shows Matte Black, Slate Blue, and Cloud Pink; color availability may change.

The available product information establishes the design, connections, listed weight, compatibility, included accessories, and manufacturer battery and audio-feature claims. It does not establish independent results for sound quality, comfort, call-microphone performance, durability, noise isolation, or real-world battery life. Those questions require evidence beyond the official listings.
