When Beats launched its latest Solo 4 headphones back in April (you can read our full Beats Solo 4 review for more), the Apple-owned audio brand also announced the Solo Buds. These new entry-level true wireless earbuds come with an attractive $79 / £79 / AU$129 price point to challenge the best budget earbuds, but we didn’t have a launch date at the time. We do now – Beats Solo Buds launch globally on June 20 after a short two-day preorder window that kicks off on June 18.
These first earbuds to carry Beats' Solo branding will focus on portability and a long runtime. Compared to the Beats Studio Buds Plus, the case is 40% smaller and can comfortably fit in the palm of your hand. The Solo Buds are more compact but still feature a corkscrew-like design with a prominent “b” for the Beats logo on each bud.
