Noise cancelling headphones Wireless earbuds are used daily at the gym or during your morning commute. They’ve become almost a necessity for us these days. Usually, the top-of-the-line models can set you back a pretty penny, but you don’t have to break the bank, especially with a deal like this. Even though Prime Day is over, some of these deals are even better than they were during the official sale period, like these Beats Studio Buds.
This story is part of Amazon Prime DayCNET’s guide to everything you need to know and how to find the best deals.
For a limited time, you can get a pair of fan-favorite Beats Studio Buds on Amazon for only $79by slashing the list price by nearly 50%. This discount brings these headphones to the lowest price we’ve seen this year. We love these headphones because they come with excellent sound quality and active noise-canceling technology. If you’re planning on picking up a pair, do it sooner rather than later, as we’re not sure how long this deal will last after Prime Day.
The Beats Studio Buds are small, lightweight, comfortable to wear, and fit snugly in most ears. Although they’re now made by Apple, Beats products work great with iPhones and Android phones, and they offer a number of cool features, including quick pairing. CNET’s David Carnoy said their sound quality beats that of the AirPods Pro and Powerbeats Pro in his Beats Studio Buds review.
Unlike other Beats products made by Apple, the Studio Buds lack some of the more sophisticated features like in-ear detection and the ability to connect to all your Apple devices via iCloud and automatically switch between them. This probably won’t be an issue for most people, especially considering the price difference between the Studio Buds and something like the AirPods Pro.
Beats Studio Buds provide up to 8 hours of listening time on a single charge, and up to 24 hours with the charging case. They’re also IPX4 certified, making them sweat and water resistant, making them a solid option for use on the go or at the gym.
