Beats Solo Buds review: budget earbuds with an epic battery… but where’s the bass?

 

These buds trade audio quality for an 18-hour continuous battery life

Awesome 18-hour in-bud battery life ; Compact buds with comfortable fit ; Cheapest Beats buds ever

Quiet and lacking in bass ; No ANC or in-ear detection ; Can get better sound at this budget

As Beats' smallest, cheapest and longest-lasting earbuds, the Beats Solo Buds may feel like a bargain. They’re supremely comfortable, easy to carry around in a pocket, and have an epic battery life. And while they miss out on higher-end features such...

Beats Solo Buds

 

Beats' budget buds are brilliantly tiny but don't have noise canceling, transparency mode, or—gulp—water resistance.

Brilliantly tiny and lightweight case. Comfy, user-friendly design. Auto-pairing, Find My support, and settings adjustments for iOS and Android. Baseline Spatial Audio. The best battery playback time I've tested.

No noise canceling or transparency mode. No iOS audio switch. Lack of standards like auto-pause, case battery, and water resistance. Control keys are hard to press. Sound quality is accessible but basic.

Apple's cheapest earbuds just got even cheaper thanks to this new deal

 

Don't let their small size fool you - the Beats Solo Buds deliver big sound and a long battery life. They're currently 25% off at Amazon.

After a few days of testing and listening, I've found that the Beats Solo Buds fail to compete with other budget earbuds I've tested and loved. You might be better off looking elsewhere for a pair of earbuds with all the features Beats neglected to add...
