Prime Day Cut the Cost of Our Favorite Beats Headphones in Half

You’ll have to hurry — the Beats Solo 4 headphones are just $100 for Prime Day, but this deal won’t last long.

There’s a reason Beats Solo headphones are uber-popular: They offer comfort, convenience and crisp sound quality. The Beats Solo 4, the latest iteration of the Beats Solo headphones, is one of our favorite on-ear headphones of all time — and its regular price has been slashed with a rare 50% discount for Prime Day. With Amazon’s Prime Day sale winding down tomorrow, you don’t have much time to nab this deal before it’s over.

Amazon is offering the Beats Solo 4 for just $100 — a discount that’s on just about every color, so you can pick the one that best matches your style. You likely won’t get a chance to grab (or gift) these headphones at this price for a long time.

These headphones feature Bluetooth 5.3 wireless technology to prevent frequent connection drops and 40mm drivers that deliver a more balanced, clean sound. In his review, CNET’s audio expert David Carnoy noted that Solo 4’s audio quality and voice-calling performance are significantly better than its predecessors. They don’t feature active noise cancellation, but you can get decent passive noise reduction with the earcups.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.  

The flex-grip headband and angled earcups in Solo 4 are designed for a more natural fit. Pair this with the soft UltraPlush cushions, and you’ll appreciate how comfortable they feel, especially during long listening sessions. Speaking of all-day use, the battery lasts up to 50 hours. You can pair these with both iOS and Android devices easily.

If you prefer keeping things wired, the Solo 4 also includes a 3.5mm audio cable. However, if this isn’t the best option for you, take a look at all the best Prime Day headphone deals.

Why this deal matters

Beats makes some of the best headphones out there, and this Prime Day, Amazon brought the price of the Solo 4 down to just $100, a rare find for a model like this. It might not stick around for long, so you’ll want to act fast. Since Prime Day is winding down, this deal will likely end soon.
