Score: 77/100
Beats Solo 4 Black
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Audio-Technica ATH-M20xBTWH offers the same 60-hour battery life and 10-minute quick charge as its black counterpart, with added white styling and built-in mic controls. It also omits active noise cancellation and uses only AAC/SBC codecs, and its weight of 670 g may affect comfort. Suited for budget-focused users who want long playback and multipoint pairing without ANC.
Beats Solo 4 are on-ear headphones delivering up to 50 hours of battery life, 40 mm drivers and personalized Spatial Audio in a lightweight design. They lack active noise cancellation and water resistance, and the on-ear form can become uncomfortable over long sessions. Great for listeners who prioritize long battery and spatial sound without needing ANC.
