SAVE $70: As of Sept. 18, the Beats Studio Buds are on sale for just $79.95 at Amazon in black and red. That's a 47% drop from their list price of $149.95.


To say the wireless earbud market is oversaturated would be a massive understatement. If you want something that'll blow you away, go with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds — but they'll trouble your wallet. If you want something cheap, Anker Soundcore P20is are your best bet. But if you want a pair that will actually sound good, cancel noise around you, and be friendly for your budget, the Beats Studio Buds are a great pick — particularly when they're on sale.

As of Sept. 18, you can pick up the Beats Studio Buds in black or red for only $79.95 at Amazon. That's nearly a 50% discount from their usual list price of $149.95 and only about $8 shy of their best price on record.

Mashable tech reporter Alex Perry called the Beats Studio Buds "Apple's new go-to entry-level earbuds," when they first came out in 2021. They've since been replaced by the upgraded Studio Buds+, but you can still find them on shelves, meaning they're still relevant in 2025. They're equipped with impressive bass, decent active noise cancellation, transparency mode, spatial audio, and a 24-hour battery life with the included charging case. They're also device agnostic and come with a variety of ear tip sizes for comfort.
