Apple’s Beats brand has unveiled another limited-edition version of its Solo 4 headphones. This time around, Beats is teaming up with New York designer Sandy Liang for a “playful, nostalgic aesthetic alongside Beats’ top quality look and sound.”
In a press release, Beats says:
Leaning into Sandy’s youthful personal style, they’re emblazoned with her own hand-drawn pink ribbon design across the headband with matching pink “b” logos, all on a flashy metallic-silver backdrop. The custom packaging includes a pink 3D-sculpted ribbon, also based on Sandy Liang’s hand-drawn designs, and silver metallic inked logos. These ultra-light headphones deliver incredible sound and up to 50 hours of battery life, making them perfect for bouncing around in style across the city and beyond.
On the collaboration with Beats, Sandy Liang said:
“I’ve always been drawn to the way nostalgia and modernity can coexist, and working with Beats felt like the perfect way to bring that to life. They’re such a cultural icon, I wanted this collaboration to feel personal—something that blends function with a sense of playfulness and personality. I wanted it to feel like more than just headphones, but an accessory that brings joy.”
When I reviewed the Beats Solo 4, I praised them as a well-executed revamp of a best-selling product:
Beats Solo 4 is a significantly better product at the same price. It’s hard to knock them with that context in mind.
The Beats Solo 4 are a welcome addition to the Beats and Apple family of headphones. While there’s more I wish Beats would’ve changed, the improvements they did make were much-needed. I also really don’t want to overlook just how key it is that the price remained unchanged at $199.99.
The new limited edition Beats Solo 4 are available to order today for $199.99. You can find them on Apple’s website, at the Sandy Liang flagship store in New York City, and at the Apple SoHo store beginning March 6th.
If you aren’t too attached to the limited edition design, you can save $80 on the Beats Solo 4 on Amazon.
