Apple’s AirPods Lite and AirPods Max 2 are not ready for primetime yet, but the ultra-affordable Beats Solo Buds and Beats Solo 4 with stellar battery life will go on sale soon following their joint official announcement today.
Are you eagerly awaiting Apple’s long-rumored AirPods Lite launch or the long overdue second-gen AirPods Max? Unfortunately, we cannot help you with any (official or unofficial) updates on those two fronts today, but the tech giant’s Beats by Dr. Dre daughter company does have a pair of very exciting new products for you to consider.
These may not have been spotted in LeBron’s hands or ears prior to their formal announcement, but make no mistake, they’re here now to give the best wireless earbuds and high-end Bluetooth wireless headphones a run for their money, especially in terms of bang for buck.The Solo Buds are the star of the new duo
Despite escaping everyone’s radar until just a few days ago, the freshly unveiled Beats Solo Buds are arguably more interesting than the equally new and hot Beats Solo 4. That’s mainly due to the $79.99 recommended US price of Apple’s latest Beats-branded earbuds, which makes these bad boys more affordable than the (oft-discounted) Studio Buds, Studio Buds Plus, and even the objectively outdated AirPods 2 with a Lightning charging case included.
Far from a shocking omission, the absence of active noise cancellation puts the Beats Solo Buds at a major disadvantage compared to something like Samsung’s Galaxy Buds FE and other top candidates for the title of best budget earbuds available today.
