If you want a pair of Apple-made wireless headphones that work just as well with Android as with iOS, the Beats Solo 4 are down to around $129.95 ($70 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. That matches the best price we’ve seen so far this year. While each retailer is offering discounts on the black, light pink, and blue color schemes, Target also has several additional discounted options, including gold.
Unsurprisingly, the foldable wireless headphones deliver high-quality sound, thanks to support for lossless audio over the included USB-C or 3.5mm audio cable. Like other recent Beats products, the Solo 4 also support native software features in both Android and iOS, including compatibility with Apple’s Find My and Google’s Find Hub, making them easier to track down if they go missing. Android users also get conveniences like automatic device switching, though only iPhone owners can activate head-tracking spatial audio.
We’re big fans of the Beats Solo 4 for other reasons, too. They can last nearly two full days on a single charge, and once the battery runs out, you can keep listening in wired mode. It’s a shame they lack active noise cancellation, but their comfortable memory foam ear cups provide decent passive noise isolation in a pinch, helping block out some noise as you listen.
