Beats Solo 4
Beats/CNET

Right now, you can grab the Beats Solo 4 on Best Buy for $130 -- $70 off the regular price. All five colors are included, and Amazon is price-matching the deal. While it's not the lowest we've seen, this deal is a solid bargain worth considering on one of the best pairs of headphones of 2026. Act fast, as there's no set expiration date.

On-ear headphones like the Beats Solo 4 are the perfect middle ground if in-ear buds bother your ears, but over-ear models feel too bulky. They're lightweight, comfortable for longer listening sessions and still deliver punchy sound -- making them perfect for your commute, work or just relaxing at home.

The Beats Solo 4 headphones offer solid sound and voice-call performance, but they didn't exactly wow CNET audio expert David Carnoy with their $200 starting price in 2024. However, he predicted they would "make a lot more sense" for around $130, making this deal a great time to buy.

They lack active noise cancellation, but they do support spatial audio if you're an Apple user. Plus, they boast an impressive 50 hours of listening time per charge. They're also very light at just 217 grams (7.6 ounces), and the plush ear cushions help reduce outside noise.

Why this deal matters

If you prefer on-ear headphones, you don't have quite as many options as people shopping for earbuds or over-ear headphones. The Beats Solo 4 are among the best pairs on the market, and while they are a little pricey at $200, our reviewer found that they are a much better value at around $130.
