Some are Team Earbuds and some are Team On-Ear Headphones, but Beats makes some incredible listening devices no matter which side you’re on. And for the second camp, one of the very first deals on Beats Solo 4 headphones is now live over at Amazon and Best Buy, and you won’t want to miss it. This deal gives you a significant price drop of 50%, which means you can snag a pair for yourself or the perfect holiday gift at $100.

The Solo 4 headphones are a worthy successor to Beats’ most successful wireless headphones ever, blending hi-fi sound, longer battery life and terrific multiplatform support into a small, sleek on-ear design. All four colors are on sale for the lowest price ever.

These headphones deliver Beats’ famously powerful bass and excellent sound balance. Plus, they have spatial audio with head tracking built in so that the sound moves with you. They’re built for comfort too, thanks to UltraPlush ear cushions, a super-light ergonomic design and a headband that’s made to flex (not dig into your head). One thing we love about on-ear headphones versus earbuds is that they won’t fall out of your ear if you’re sleeping or dashing for a subway train. This writer had an earbud drop straight onto the tracks once — not a problem with on-ear headphones.

The Beats Solo 4 headphones have a, frankly, wild battery life, with up to 50 hours of playback. That means you can go almost a full week without recharging (if you happen to listen to music almost the entire working day, every day). Plus, if you need to recharge, a 10-minute charge will top you up for up to five hours of playback.

Choose between a utilitarian black, a cheerful pink or a sleek steel blue. Whatever way you go, you’ll get great sound delivery and plenty of listening time so you can keep the tunes going whether you’re at home, commuting, traveling or on a run.
