What's unique about the brand
What reviewers are saying
We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:
- Though now owned by Apple, the headphones are often powered by a custom Beats chip rather than Apple's H or W series, and frequently offer feature parity for both Android and Apple devices (with some exceptions).
- USB-C connectivity is a big selling point, offering options for both charging and wired, lossless audio listening—a feature absent on some higher-end Apple headphones.
- Spatial audio with head tracking is supported exclusively for Apple users, creating a more immersive listening experience while viewing compatible video content.
Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "The Solo 4's sound is what really held my attention, offering a golden splash in the midrange, foundational bass that steers clear of overwhelming, and sweet treble that never comes across as forced or overbrightened. It can be hard to convey that feeling when a pair of headphones just gets your ears, but the Solo 4 sit right in that groove for me." (https://www.wired.com/review/beats-solo-4)
- "In true Beats fashion, the Pill takes a calculated extremist approach to its sound signature. The bass is big and brawny, while the treble is snappy and vibrant for a performance that's as slick, shiny, and polished as the speaker itself." (https://www.wired.com/review/beats-pill-2024)
- "I really enjoyed the new 40-mm drivers, providing a relatively expansive stereo image and solid detail. Like Bose headphones, the sound is slick and stylized, but it's also extremely accessible and lends itself well to a wide array of genres." (https://www.wired.com/review/beats-studio-pro)
