Black Friday Brings Some of the Best Beats Headphone Deals Yet – CNET

Beats headphones and earbuds are audio royalty, and that comes with a high price tag. If you’ve been turned off by that cost, though, Black Friday could help you change your mind. The best Black Friday deals available right now include a number of great offers on Beats headphones and earbuds. Those who need a new pair to listen to their music, podcasts or even make calls on should definitely take a peek at these sales.

At this point, the Beats line is incredibly streamlined with only six pairs of headphones. The brand is also in the weird position of competing directly with its parent company, Apple. But that means that the newest Beats models generally feature USB-C charging (instead of Lightning) and are more Android-friendly than AirPods models. 

Here’s a look at the current best Beats headphone deals. Prices fluctuate frequently and sometimes certain colors are less expensive than others, so click through on any model to see specific pricing for specific colors.

Back at best-ever price. While the Beats Fit Pro technically aren’t AirPods, they’re built on the same tech platform as the AirPods Pro. Unlike Beats’ earlier and less expensive Studio Buds, the Beats Fit Pro include Apple’s H1 chip and have most of the AirPods Pro’s features, including active noise canceling, spatial audio and Adaptive EQ. I’d venture to call them the sports AirPods you’ve always wanted. And for some people, they might just be better than the AirPods Pro.

Yes, if you want the fancy new Kim Kardashian versions, you’ll need to pay an extra $20.

Back at best-ever price. The Beats Studio Buds look a lot like the rumored stemless AirPods that people were talking about but never materialized — as AirPods anyway. Geared toward both iOS and Android users, they’re missing a few key features on the Apple side of things (there’s no H1 or W1 chip), but they’re small, lightweight earbuds that are comfortable to wear and offer good sound. They fit most ears securely, including mine — I run with them without a problem — but others may find a better fit with the Beats Fit Pro and their integrated wing tips.

Back at best-ever price. These truly wireless headphones pack many of the same features as Apple’s AirPods but offer a different design and carrying case. The over-ear hook helps keep them in place while you’re being active and the tips come in various sizes to help fit them in your ear comfortably.

Back at best-ever price. Beats’ Studio3 Wireless over-ear noise-canceling headphones were released back in 2018. They’re still good headphones, however. They’re on sale for just $150 — that’s 57% off — at Amazon right now in a few different colors.
