Beats by Dre is known for offering quality audio at prices that are more accessible than luxury brands. With incredible bass, noise-canceling technology, and easy Bluetooth pairing, it’s a gadget that ensures you get your money’s worth. And though they usually come with a significant sticker price, Amazon now has Beats Studio Buds down to 33 percent off, which means you can finally get a pair for less than $100.
With the Beats Studio Buds, you get impressive audio and battery life to match, plus a comfortable fit that won’t budge, which is why we included them in our list of the best wireless headphones for running. They can be fully charged in less than two hours, giving you up to 8 hours of use. The case provides about 24 hours’ worth of power, but charging for just 5 minutes loads the earbuds with a solid hour of runtime.
As for stability, three ear tip options help the Studio Buds stay in place, no matter how hard you’re hitting the pavement. After testing, our Director of Product Testing, Jeff Dengate, confirmed, “No slipping during a sweaty 5-miler on an 85-degree day.”
The Studio Buds’ active noise-canceling technology is another feature runners should take note of. It’s incredibly effective and creates a surround-sound-like experience, so you’ll definitely want to turn this on when you’re doing time on the treadmill. If you’re logging miles outside and need to be aware of your surroundings, switch to transparency mode and keep your music in the background. The earbuds will automatically pair with your Apple devices, but if you’re an Android user, don’t worry: There’s a Beats app to keep you connected.
We were happy to see such a significant discount for the Beats Studio Buds, but the savings won’t last long, so you don't want to miss your chance to score them for under $100. If these don’t fit your needs, check out some other Beats headphones and earbuds that are also on sale right now.
