Thinking about new headphones? I love to use different kinds of headphones in different situations. For travel, I love a good pair of in-ear, noise-canceling earbuds and for the gym, I prefer over-the-ear headphones that won’t budge when I move around.
Having a great pair of headphones can make a huge difference, whether you want to listen to your favorite songs or want to get hyped for a workout. Whatever your reason for getting headphones, searching for good headphones or earbuds with quality sound can be a daunting task with so many options out there.
While some may be more expensive than others, the quality that Beats by Dr. Dre offers is impressive given how reasonably priced its headphones are. The Apple-owned company has maintained its unique logo and sound, and more of its products are integrating Apple technology.
Deals on Beats headphones and earbuds are fairly common across multiple retailers, which can be rare for other Apple products. Apple even matches some Beats headphone deals from third-party retailers at its own online store. And with older models, the deals are even better. Check out the best prices currently available.

Beats’ Studio3 Wireless over-ear noise-canceling headphones were released back in 2018. They’re still good headphones, and they’re on sale for just $200 — that’s 43% off — at Amazon right now in a few different colors.

Beats’ Powerbeats Pro, which have been out for a few years, list for $250. We’ve seen them drop as low as $150, but they usually hover around $200. With Beats’ new Fit Pro earbuds also available (read our Fit Pro review), these Powerbeats Pro are regularly on sale.

Beats’ entry-level EP wired headphones are a surprisingly good listening experience — and value. The list price is $130, but right now, Amazon has them on sale for just $100 in all four colors. These on-ear headphones aren’t as swanky as Beats’ forgotten on-ear Mixr or its over-ear Executive and Pro models. But thanks to their reinforced metal frame, they remind me of low-frills versions of those headphones — they aren’t flashy and don’t fold up or fold flat for travel (the frame has no hinges). The EP headphones offer decent, clean sound with enough bass here to satisfy a low-end audiophile, but not so much to turn off someone who’s looking for a more balanced, neutral sound quality in their headphones.
Apple
These lightweight, sporty headphones won an Editors’ Choice Award in 2021 and offer good sound and better battery life than the first-gen AirPods Pro. Powered by Apple’s H1 chip, the Beats Fit Pro earbuds offer spatial audio and other features like active noise canceling.

First released in 2016, the Beats Solo3 headphones predate the Solo Pro and have the W1 chip instead of the H1 chip. While they’re wireless, unlike the Solo Pro, they’re missing noise cancellation. That said, it’s one of the most popular Beats models ever made. You can get Beats Solo 3 for $130 right now.
Beats
These wireless earbuds are not true wireless, but they’re not bad — and the price of the Beats Flex is even better. They provide up to 12 hours of listening time per charge and have auto-pause magnetic buds to boot.
