The Beats Studio Buds + are half off and at their best price ever
Save 50%: As of Sept. 8, you can grab the Beats Studio Buds + at Woot for just $84.95, saving you $85 off their asking price and bringing them down to their lowest price ever.
As of Sept. 8, the Beats Studio Buds + are down to their lowest price ever at Woot, coming in at just $84.95. These earbuds are brand new, making this an $85 price cut on their $169.95 list price. For comparison, Amazon has the same earbuds on sale for $99.95. The only catch? Woot's deal is only live for the next five days (or until the earbuds sell out) and only applies to the transparent colorway.
Though they're not the newest earbuds out there, the Beats Studio Buds + were Mashable's best mid-range earbuds pick at one point. Like AirPods, you do miss out on having a customizable equalizer. The Beats also lack spatial audio. However, also like AirPods, they are designed to be integrated into the Apple ecosystem, which means they pair about as quickly as Apple's earbuds, but Android users shouldn't feel left out — these Beats are also compatible with Google Fast Pair.
As for how they function, the active noise cancellation does a good (if not exemplary job), making them a great option for anyone who doesn't need (or want to pay for) the latest and greatest ANC tech. In classic Beats style, these earbuds also handle bass well, without sacrificing the quality of the mids- and highs. Finally, you'll get the same battery life as you do with the AirPods Pro — six hours per charge with ANC on. With the case, the Beats offer a little less — 24 hours compared to the Pro's 30 hours. Still, at this price, it's hard to complain.
