Beats Studio Pro Headphones for $179.99
Beats is owned by Apple, and the Studio Pro is marketed towards people like me who want a quality over-ear wireless noise cancelling headphone but also don’t want to spend $500+ on the AirPods Max. The Studio Pro offers great audio quality, better than any other Beats headphone, and very good active noise cancellation. It carries over a lot of Apple’s trademark features like spatial audio with head tracking, one touch pairing, and “Find My” functionality. It also has a Transparency mode so you can listen to the environment around you without removing your headphones.
The Beats Studio Pro charges via the newer USB Type-C standard and it even has a built-in USB dac so you can listen to lossless audio files over USB. That’s a very rare feature for headphones nowadays. Of course you can also choose to listen to your music wirelessly over Bluetooth or via a 3.5mm audio cable. The Beats Studio Pro travels well because it’s pretty small, it boasts up to 40 hours of battery life, and the earcups fold in for easy transport in its case.
Since Beats is an Apple product, you also get three free months of Apple TV+ and Apple Music.
If you’re looking for a smaller earbud alternative, check out the Apple AirPods Pro, which is on sale right now.
