The highest-rated Beats headphones are back at their lowest recorded price.
Get a stylish pair of quality headphones for under $100.
Amazon's recent spring sale allowed for a notable price reduction on highly sought-after electronic products, with popular Beats headphones standing out among them. Although the promotion has officially ended, some discounts are still available, such as the Beats Studio Buds Plus, which can now be purchased for $99.95, down from $169.95, marking a historic low for these highly regarded headphones.
The Beats Studio Buds Plus offer significant improvements over the basic version, including superior sound quality, active noise cancellation, and extended battery life. While Beats is mainly recognized for its style, these headphones combine aesthetics and functionality, making them an excellent choice for those seeking an attractive design with advanced noise-cancellation features.
The price reduction also positions the Studio Buds Plus at the same cost level as their predecessor, thereby eliminating any reason to opt for the previous version.
In the review of the Beats Studio Buds Plus, their "great appearance," including a transparent option, was highlighted, as well as their improved noise cancellation with a transparency mode and configurable controls on the earbuds. Additionally, they come with a set of four silicone ear tips to accommodate different ear sizes, have an IP4X water and sweat resistance rating, and offer spatial audio for a more immersive listening experience.
Battery life is average but comparable to other competitors; typically, the earbuds last six hours on their own and 24 hours when using the case, with noise cancellation active. This time improves to about nine hours without the case and 36 hours with it when the active noise cancellation is turned off.
While the Beats are aesthetically pleasing and functional, they do not surpass our favorite wireless headphones. For those seeking the best of the best, the Technics EAH-AZ100 is recommended, although their price is double that of the Beats Studio Buds Plus. Those looking for wireless headphone alternatives under $100 might also consider the best options in the budget headphone segment.
