My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: the Beats Studio Pro
Beats headphones are well known for their style and best compatibility with Apple devices. Both of these statements are true for their flagship Beats Studio Pro headphones, which are currently priced at $169.99 (originally $349.99), which is their lowest price after a 51% discount, according to price trackers . While they are compatible with Android users, Apple users will get the most out of these premium headphones.
Beats Studio Pro launched in 2023 with a “good” review from PCMag , which praised its sculpted sound (but cautioned audio lovers against it), comfort, premium accessories, and spatial audio with head tracking. They also said that you can get much better headphones for less than their $349.99 price (which is very true ), with an adjustable EQ and better active noise cancellation (ANC). However, at $169.99, these headphones are very expensive, especially if you are an Apple user.
These headphones feature hands-free access to Siri, one-touch pairing with iOS and Android devices (via Google Fast Pair) allowing up to two devices to be connected at once, and a transparency mode that lets you hear your surroundings. Apple users will be able to take advantage of AAC codecs , which work seamlessly with Apple but have limitations with Android devices. You get a quick access menu to control ANC and transparency modes, and you can also use the Find Me app if you lose the headphones.
The biggest downside to the Beats Studio Pro that you’d expect from a premium headphone is its adjustable EQ. However, they have a variety of equalizer presets for you to choose from. ANC is slightly above average, which is good for its current price. You can get around 40 hours of playtime on a full charge with ANC and Transparency modes turned off, and a 10-minute charge gives you around four hours of playtime.
