Beats Solo Buds with 18-hr. battery in black, gray, and Transparent Red return to $50 Black Friday price (38% off)

We in fact just spotted a new Amazon all-time low on the base model AirPods 4 at $100, but Amazon is also bringing back Black Friday pricing on the latest 2024 Beats Solo Buds at $49.95 shipped. Regularly $80, you’ll now find this 38% price drop live on the Transparent Red, Matte Black, and Storm Gray colors. Now $10 under the previous Amazon deal price, today’s offer is matching the price we featured over Black Friday and in the lead up to Christmas last year. 

You can get a complete rundown of the new feature set and user experience for the Beat Solo Buds in our hands-on review right here. The short-form takeaway is this: they are “one of the most intriguing new products from Beats in a long time.”  

The Beats Solo have a few things going for them, not the least of which is the ultra-compact charging case and especially so in the sweet Transparent Red treatment. But we were also more than impressed with the battery life here – there might not be a battery in the case for an extra charge on-the-go, but at $50 the onboard 18-hours of operation the buds themselves provide is quite impressive. And this isn’t some marketing trick, our testing confirms they actually provide the 18 hours of use – there’s also the usual 5-minute quick charge using a USB-C cable that nets you an extra hour of listening. 

Additional features include dual compatibility for iOS and Android devices with “seamless one-touch pairing,” custom-designed microphones with “advanced noise-learning algorithm for exceptional call quality,” and industry-leading Class 1 Bluetooth for fewer dropouts. 

Beats Solo Buds features:

  • Up to 18 hours of battery life. Fast Fuel, a 5-minute charge, gives up to 1 hour of playback. POWER ADAPTER AND USB-C CHARGING CABLE SOLD SEPARATELY.
  • Custom acoustic architecture for big Beats sound with full range and clarity.
  • The smallest case we’ve ever made, making these powerful earbuds the perfect on-the-go companion.
  • Dual-layer drivers minimize distortion, ensuring high-fidelity sound.
  • Purposefully positioned axial-aligned drivers deliver sound directly to your ears.
  • Laser-cut vents further improve audio performance while relieving pressure for added comfort.
  • Charge directly from your phone, tablet or laptop for extra power on the go.
