The Beats Solo Buds are officially the smallest, most affordable earbuds you can score from Apple's subsidiary audio brand. There are some trade-offs compared to pricier models in the Beats collection, but overall, there are a lot of perks packed into an adorably tiny package.
Though they're not quite as compact as, say, the JLab JBuds Mini, the $79.99 Beats Solo Buds manage to deliver 18 hours of battery life and punchy performance. Custom-built acoustic architecture pays off based on my first impressions, while the passive noise isolation is quite effective. I appreciate that these earbuds are well-suited for both iPhone and Android users, too.
