As much as we love Apple’s AirPods Max headphones, we don’t love the $549 pricetag. That’s why we’re such big fans of the Beats Studio Pro, which deliver excellent sound and high-end features for $350. And today they’re even cheaper: You can get the superb over-ear Beats Studio Pro in black for just $200, a 40 percent discount, and just $20 off their Black Friday low.
We reviewed these headphones and gave them a 4.5-star rating, as well as our Editors’ Choice award. We were thrilled with the lightweight build that makes them easy to wear for long hours, the excellent battery life that keeps them going for up to 40 hours, and the balanced audio. Unlike the AirPods Max, for instance, you can connect to these headphones via Bluetooth, USB-C, or even a classic audio jack.
You’l also get easy pairing, personalized Spatial Audio, and head tracking, active noise cancellation, and hands-free Hey Siri support. And just like AirPods, a quick 10-minute recharge can keep you listening to your favorite tunes for an extra four hours of playback.
So, skip the high-priced AirPods Max and get yourself a pair of fantastic headphones while the Beats Studio Pro are still $200 at Amazon.
