What reviewers said
Apple Beats Solo 4
The Beats Solo 4 are an on-ear, wireless headphone option that focuses on strong battery life and straightforward sound rather than premium extras. They deliver about 50 hours of playback and a comfortable fit for active use, but skip features like noise cancellation, transparency mode, and multipoint pairing. While they sound decent for the price, their dated design and missing conveniences make them a niche pick for those who prioritize endurance over features.
- Pro:Excellent battery life of around 50 hours
- Pro:Lightweight and comfortable for workouts
- Pro:Supports quick charging for fast top-ups
- Con:No active noise cancellation or transparency mode
- Con:Lacks multipoint pairing and wear detection
- Con:No aptX or LDAC codec support for Android users
Beyerdynamic DT 275 PRO
This closed on-ear headphone is tuned for professional monitoring, with a bass-forward character and strong passive isolation that suits DJ work and voice tracking in noisy settings. It's a wired, utilitarian tool built for assertive sound rather than casual listening, offering good loudness even from modest sources. The design prioritizes practical stage and booth use with a detachable cable, though it skips modern conveniences like wireless or noise-canceling tech.
- Pro:Powerful, punchy bass for monitoring or DJ tasks
- Pro:Excellent passive isolation for loud environments
- Pro:Lightweight and comfortable for extended sessions
- Con:No active noise cancellation or wireless options
- Con:Bass-forward tuning may not suit neutral-critical listening
- Con:On-ear style can cause fatigue over long periods
