I jumped on the headphone bandwagon earlier this year after becoming an in-ear devotee, and it’s truly life changing. They are expensive, however, so a sale – especially a large one – can make a difference. Right now, the Beats Studio Pro is just $169, down from $350 — a 51 percent discount. This all-time low price is available in Black, Sandstone, Deep Brown and Navy, though all other colors but one are close at 46 percent off.
We gave the Beats Studio Pro 81 a thumbs up when it came out last year, thanks to its improved sound quality and surround sound with dynamic head tracking. It offers “near-zero” distortion, even at very high volumes, which provides an 80 percent improvement from the Studio 3. That heavy bass that Beats is known for has long gone here, appearing only when the song really needs it. it. The headphones also have transparent mode and new USB-C EQ modes: Signature, Conversation and Entertainment. Also, they have up to 40 hours of battery life.
There are some shortcomings that should be mentioned when discussing the Beats Studio Pro. They are not the most comfortable headphones on the market, so you may not want to wear them for long periods of time. They also don’t have automatic pause or multi-point connection on iOS.
