The Solo 4 is the best-scored headphone on this entire site: 4.6 from 28,976 ratings. It also has the emptiest technical page of anything we have listed at any price.
Fifteen rows, one number. The impedance. Not the driver size, not the Bluetooth version, not the battery, not the frequency response, not a codec. The $19.99 BERIBES three categories over gives you all of those. Whatever you are paying $149.95 for, it is not disclosure.
The one weight Amazon does print is 1.2 pounds, which is 544 g — that is the parcel, not the headphone, and there is nothing else on the page to correct it with, so we leave the box empty.
And it does not cancel noise. The Beats name and the price both point the other way, but the Solo 4 is a passive on-ear. What it does have is fifty hours, a genuinely light frame, and lossless playback over USB-C or the 3.5 mm cable — which no other wireless model here offers.
Anything marked «—» is a figure the manufacturer doesn't publish. We don't fill those in by eye.

| A $149.95 headphone with no technical spec table | Fifteen rows, and the only electrical figure in any of them is «Impedance: 32 ohm». No driver size, no Bluetooth version, no battery field, no frequency response, no codecs. The $19.99 BERIBES on this site publishes all five. |
|---|---|
| The weight is the shipping box | «Item Weight: 1.2 pounds» — 544 g. Nothing you wear on your head this size weighs that. There is no other weight anywhere on the page, so the box stays empty. |
| Manufacturer: Apple | Amazon's manufacturer field for a Beats-branded product. |
| It has no noise cancelling, and does not claim any | Worth saying plainly, because the name and the price both suggest otherwise. There is no ANC in the Solo 4. Its sibling, the Studio Pro, is the one with cancelling. |
| Charging Time | 2.15 hours |
A summary of the reviews published on Amazon.com as of 2026-09-08.
4.6 out of 5 from 28,976 ratings, the highest here. Buyers praise battery life and the lighter frame against the Solo 3. The most repeated complaint is clamping pressure on larger heads, which is the standard on-ear compromise, and a minority note the absence of cancelling — which is on them, since the listing never claims it.

Fifty hours and 147 grams — and a spec table that gets the driver and the charge time wrong.
