The Beats Solo 4 reached its all-time low during Black Friday at exactly half its list price, and Amazon just matched that number again. The Matte Black version is down to $99, off its $199 list price and tied with the lowest price these headphones have ever sold for on Amazon. This deal is open to all Amazon customers and requires no Prime membership.

50-hour battery, 10-minute fast charge, Spatial Audio

Fifty hours of battery life on a single charge puts the Beats Solo 4 in a category where most competitors top out at 30 to 40 hours, and the Fast Fuel feature delivers five more hours of playback from a 10-minute charge for the moments when you forget to plug in the night before. The custom acoustic architecture and updated drivers produce Beats’ most balanced sound tuning to date, moving away from the bass-heavy signature of older generations toward a more even frequency response that handles vocal clarity and midrange detail alongside the low-end presence the brand is known for. Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking places sound in three-dimensional space around you and adjusts as you move your head, which is the same technology found in AirPods Pro at twice the price.

Class 1 Bluetooth extends the wireless range and reduces dropout frequency compared to standard Bluetooth implementations, and the dual-mode pairing handles both iOS and Android with one-touch setup on either platform. A 3.5mm jack and USB-C port cover wired listening, with high-resolution lossless audio available through either cable connection for listening situations where wireless is not preferred or available.

217 grams, UltraPlush cushions, flex-grip headband

At 217 grams, the Solo 4 is light enough to wear through a full workday without the neck and jaw fatigue that heavier on-ear headphones produce during extended sessions. The flex-grip headband distributes clamping pressure evenly rather than concentrating it at the top of the head, and the ergonomically angled ear cups adjust to fit a wide range of head sizes without requiring repeated repositioning. UltraPlush ear cushions add softness to the contact points that matter most for on-ear comfort, and the foldable design collapses for storage and travel without a dedicated case.

The built-in microphone handles calls and voice assistant interaction with the quality Beats typically delivers on its headphone lineup, and the onboard controls manage volume, playback, and assistant access without reaching for a phone. Beats backs the Solo 4 with Apple’s one-year limited warranty and trade-in eligibility, which is the same support structure that Apple’s own audio products carry.

With 26,907 reviews averaging 4.6 stars and over 10,000 units sold last month, the Beats Solo 4 is not a slow-moving premium product at its full price. At $99, matching the Black Friday floor that represented the previous all-time low, it becomes one of the more straightforward purchases in the wireless headphone category.
