The Beats Studio Pro has only been available for a month, but the wireless headphones are already 29 percent off at Amazon, bringing the price down to $250 from $350. Deals on brand-new products don’t come around often, especially at a steep discount. If you’ve been looking for a quality pair of wireless headphones with active noise cancelation (ANC), say, for a very early start to your holiday gift shopping, you’d be hard-pressed to find an opportunity this ripe. Plus, virtually the whole Beats lineup of headphones and earbuds are on sale at Amazon for now.
The Studio Pro features a similar design to the Studio 3 that Beats launched in 2017. But that’s where the similarities end. The Studio Pro is more comfortable, has better noise cancelation, and supports lossless audio over USB-C—a first for Apple headphones — resulting in improved sound quality.
Like other Apple headphones, the Studio Pro features spatial audio with dynamic head tracking. Essentially, this allows the wearer to experience virtual surround sound and Dolby Atmos content. It’s akin to having a home theater system in a pair of headphones. There’s also a transparency mode in case the user needs to hear what’s happening around them.

Another set of cans on sale, the on-ear Beats Solo3 wireless headphones are 35 percent off. This is an older pair that still features some exciting tech. First, Apple’s W1 chip makes for easier, faster connectivity with iOS devices. And the Solo3 has the same spatial audio support as the Studio Pro for balanced sound but almost twice the battery life—40 hours. These headphones are a good choice for those who don’t want or need ANC.
Finally, Amazon is offering 24 percent off the Studio Buds +, and the $130 price is the lowest we’ve seen for these wireless earbuds. With excellent noise cancelation and sound quality, the Studio Buds+ rank as the best wireless earbuds after our hours of testing—better than the excellent AirPods Pro 2 and Sony WF-1000XM5. The only downside is the case doesn’t support wireless charging. But we still rate them highly, and, at this discount, they’re a great buy.
Whichever you choose, they’re all solid pairs of headphones. And if none of the options we highlighted seem right, peruse the other Beats headphones, including the Beats Fit Pro, Beats Studio Buds, Beats Flex, and Powerbeats Pro.
