The Beats Solo Buds are the latest addition to the Beats by Dre lineup, making waves with their impressive battery life and affordable price. Announced in April alongside the Beats Solo 4 headphones, the Beats Solo Buds are set to hit the market on June 20, with pre-orders starting June 18. Priced at just $79.99, these earbuds offer a range of features, making them a compelling choice for budget-conscious consumers looking for high-quality audio.
One of the standout features of the Beats Solo Buds is their remarkable battery life. Each earbud provides up to 18 hours of playback on a single charge. This is particularly impressive given the compact size of the earbuds. While the charging case does not contain an integrated battery, it facilitates charging via a USB-C connection. Beats’ Fast Fuel technology offers an additional hour of playback from just a 5-minute charge, for those in a hurry.
Beats Solo Buds boast a custom-built acoustic architecture designed to deliver high-fidelity sound. The dual-layer transducers are engineered to minimize micro-distortions across the frequency curve, ensuring clear and detailed audio. Additionally, the ergonomic design includes acoustic nozzles and laser-cut vents to improve audio performance and relieve ear pressure, enhancing comfort during extended use.
Equipped with industry-leading Class 1 Bluetooth, the Beats Solo Buds provide extended range and fewer dropouts. Each earbud features a custom-designed microphone paired with an advanced noise-learning algorithm, which enhances call quality. The Solo Buds also offer native compatibility for seamless one-touch pairing, automatic account setup, and integration with Apple’s Find My network and Google’s Find My Device.
The Beats Solo Buds come with four ear tip sizes (XS, S, M, and L) to ensure a secure and comfortable fit for a diverse range of ears. The earbuds are available in four sleek colors: Matte Black, Storm Gray, Arctic Purple, and Transparent Red. The Arctic Purple variant is exclusive to Apple and Target, both online and in stores.
Each earbud features a ‘b’ button that allows users to control music playback, take calls, and activate voice assistants like Siri. The press-and-hold action can be customized in iOS settings or through the Beats app on Android devices, providing additional flexibility and control.
The Beats Solo Buds will be available for pre-order starting June 18 and officially launch on June 20. They will retail for $79.99, making them the most affordable option in the Beats lineup. Customers can purchase them from Apple, authorized resellers, and selected retailers, with the Arctic Purple color being exclusive to Apple and Target in the U.S.
