The tech world is buzzing with excitement as Apple announces the launch of a new family of Beats Solo wireless headphones. The Beats Solo 4 is now available for pre-order, along with the new Beats Solo Buds wireless earbuds. Priced at $79, the Solo Buds offer an impressive 18 hours of battery life, making it a competitive option in the market.
In a comparison with the popular AirPods 2, the Beats Solo Buds offer several advantages. Not only are they a more affordable option, but they also provide passive noise isolation with silicone tips, a more compact design, and a longer battery life of 18 hours compared to the AirPods’ 5 hours. The Solo Buds are also rechargeable via USB-C and come with Find My support, as well as being available in four different colors.
While the AirPods 2 have features like fast switching between devices and ear detection, the Beats Solo Buds have their own strengths such as better value for customers looking for affordable wireless earbuds. However, users should note that the Solo Buds need to be manually selected as the audio source on another device, and if taken out of the ear, they will keep playing unless put back in the case.
Rumors are circulating that Apple will update the entry-level AirPods later this year, but for now, customers can look forward to the release of the Beats Solo Buds in the US in June in four different colors. Which pair of wireless earbuds will you choose?
