The ubiquity of AirPods won’t sway over-ear purists. It explains why Beats has maintained a steady existence under the Apple umbrella alongside competing buds and the AirPods Max. The Beats Studio Pro headphones have a strong battery life, versatile audio settings, and integration with Apple features that make them a great fit for Apple users. The best part: they’re more than half off sticker price right now for Black Friday, $169.99 on Amazon. That’s the lowest they’ve been year to date, as they usually hover around $270 for most of the year.

This pair of Beats boasts familiar features like 40 hours of battery life, noise cancelation, and transparency modes, as well as Siri compatibility. Unique features include “lossless audio” via USB-C and “hassle-free one-touch pairing” with any smartphone. The company has also widely advertised its dynamic head tracking feature, which offers users a 360-degree listening experience, tailored to their preferences.

This design element puts them in direct competition with the AirPods Max as a bargain alternative, as Apple’s over-ear model retails for $550.

The battery life also far outstrips most pairs of earbuds with 40 hours of total playback and a 10-minute “Fast Fuel” charge that gives a quick, extra four hours. Reviewers also highlight the accuracy of voice-targeting microphones that filter out background noise for better communication. For those who prefer a wired connection, the Beats Studio Pro also come equipped with a 3.5mm cable.
