Skip the AirPods Max and save 50% on the Beats Studio Pro or Solo 4 headphones

We’re drawing closer and closer to Black Friday and the deals keep coming. Today’s can save you big on a pair of excellent headphones from Apple (but not AirPods). Rather, the Beats Studio Pro is $170, a 51 percent discount, while the Beats Solo 4 is down to $100, also half-off the MSRP.

We reviewed the Beats Solo 4 and gave them a 4-star review, loving the fact that they work so well with both iOS and Android devices. They have a great battery life, and they don’t just work over Bluetooth, but also via USB-C or 3.5mm, both of which enable you to listen to lossless audio.

We loved the Beats Studio Pro too, giving these a 4.5-star rating and also our Editors’ Choice award. Our tester appreciated how lightweight they are and the excellent battery life. These also allow you to experience audio via USB-C and 3.5mm, although you’re most likely going to rely on Bluetooth for it.

“Even if they weren’t $200 cheaper, we’d recommend these over the AirPods Max. The lack of ear detection is a bummer, but Beats Studio Pro delivers better sound, battery life, controls, and compatibility, and they weigh a lot less, too,” our review reads, which is a big recommendation, especially considering how much we loved the AirPods Max (other than the price).

So there you have it—if you want a pair of great headphones both the Beats Studio Pro and the Beats Solo 4 have fantastic prices right now.
