If you’re not an audiophile and can’t otherwise afford to splurge on a substantial pair of headphones like the AirPods Max or the new Sonos Ace headphones, a pair of Beats can do the job just fine. The brand’s headphones consistently sound pretty good and have kept up well with the times under Apple’s stewardship. You can consider the Beats Studio Pro the pinnacle of the line right now, and the flagship over-ear pair are nearly matching their all-time low price at around $179.95 ($170 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. That’s only $10 more than the all-time low price we saw during Black Friday.

At launch, we felt the Beats Studio Pro couldn’t quite measure up to the competition in the price arena they played in. In terms of audio quality, they won’t beat Sony’s WH-1000XM5 or the Bose QuietComfort Ultra they’re positioned against. They don’t sound bad, mind you; they’re just not great. But they’re still the best Beats headphones you can get, and there are other reasons to consider going for these beyond whatever affinity you have for the brand.

For example, these headphones are more adaptable than most across the mobile ecosystem duopoly currently ruled by iOS and Android. On iOS, they support key features like one-touch pairing, Siri, spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, Find My, and iCloud sync. On Android, you also get Fast Pair, Find My Device support, and automatic pairing and seamless audio switching between Android devices and Chromebooks. Plus, you get better active noise cancellation and transparency mode compared to the Beats Studio 3 they replaced, not to mention lossless USB-C audio (although you give up the aforementioned audio features when using it).

Thirsty for more Thursday deals?

• Amazon’s 32-inch Fire TV is down to $89.99 ($110 off) at Amazon, which is a new all-time low price. A 720p TV doesn’t sound all that exciting these days, but at this price, it’ll do for guest rooms or if you need something to shove on the bathroom counter. It runs the same Fire TV OS as the more substantial models, supports HDR10, offers three HDMI ports (including one with ARC), and comes with an Alexa Voice Remote.
• Now until June 23rd, you can get three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $34.99 ($10 off) at Woot. The Xbox Games Showcase on June 9th brought an exciting glimpse into a stacked year of gaming for the latter half of 2024 and well into 2025. It’s worth considering stacking a few of these to make sure you can play all of the great-looking games hitting the service on day one. Woot lets you buy up to 24 digital codes and delivers them to your email within a few days of purchasing, but note that you can only prepay a maximum of 36 months on new and existing Xbox Live accounts.
• Say hello to Moto’s new all-time low price on the foldable Motorola Razr Plus. It’s down to $649.99 ($350 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from Motorola for an unlocked model with 256GB of storage. The 2023 Android smartphone has a flexible OLED screen that allows it to fold up in clamshell mode. It’s an era-appropriate homage to the sleek flip phones it helped popularize. The cover screen is much larger than its predecessor’s at 3.6 inches, and the phone flips open to a full-length 6.9-inch OLED display. We wish the cover screen were a bit more useful and a little less of a chore to use, but it’s a fun device with a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset that makes for great performance and contributes to all-day battery life.
