Behold, in this vast world of Minecraft-themed treasures, a new gem has emerged for the discerning gamer: the Beats x Minecraft Special Edition Solo 4 headphones from Beats by Dr. Dre. These headphones, adorned with metallic green hinges and the iconic Creeper character, are a sight to behold for any Minecraft enthusiast.
In essence, these headphones share similarities with the Beats Solo 4 we have previously examined. The sound quality is good, though not exceptional, and they do not feature active noise cancellation. However, they offer a more budget-friendly option compared to the Beats Studio Pro. And let us not forget the allure of the Minecraft theme that adorns them, a nod to the beloved gaming universe.
The accompanying bag, featuring the same green Minecraft design, adds to the overall appeal of this special edition. While we had hoped for a matching green USB-C cable, alas, it was not to be. Nonetheless, the Beats Solo 4 excel in certain aspects, such as improved audio quality, luxurious “UltraPlush” cushions that provide exceptional comfort, and an impressive battery life of up to 50 hours on a single charge—25% better than their predecessors, the Beats Solo3.
Furthermore, these headphones are compatible with Apple’s Personalized Spatial Audio technology, complete with dynamic head tracking. Both iOS and Android users will find seamless integration, including access to platform-specific features like “find my” systems and quick pairing. For Android users, downloading the Beats app is recommended for full access to settings and firmware updates.
The “Beats x Minecraft Special Edition Solo 4” headphones are priced at $200 and will be released on July 18th, available for purchase on the Apple and Target websites, select Apple stores in the U.S., and EE stores in the U.K. Additionally, buyers will receive a unique code for an in-game Minecraft headphone character creator item, adding a touch of exclusivity to this special edition. To sweeten the deal, Minecraft content creator TinaKitten will curate a Spatial Audio playlist exclusively on Apple Music—an enticing offer for music lovers and gamers alike.
