Picture this: You’re waiting for the train after work, drenched in sweat as if you’re Ted Striker at the climax of Airplane!. You look like a mess, and feel worse. This is what hell must be like, you think to yourself as a baby wails on the neighboring platform, sending a rat scurrying out of the tracks. The air is thick and heavy. It smells like hot garbage.

Then, suddenly, as if God herself planted the thought in your brain, you remember you stashed your headphones inside your backpack before leaving for the day. They’ve still got plenty of juice left, so you pop ’em on your ears and press “play.” “Truth Hurts” starts streaming through the ear cups, drowning out the sound of the subway and all of its miserable inhabitants with Lizzo’s swaggering chorus. Life seems marginally better, if only for a few minutes. 

… Oh, you don’t own a decent pair of headphones? Good thing Amazon’s got you covered with a rare deal on the Beats Solo3 on-ear wireless headphones.

For a limited time, you can order them for just $159.99 — 47% off their suggested retail price of $299.95. Not counting this year’s Prime Day discount (when they were marked down to $139.99), that’s the cheapest these babies have ever been on Amazon.

Given a Mashable’s Choice Award upon their debut in 2016, the Beats Solo3s look great and sound even better, boasting fine-tuned acoustics with exceptional clarity. They can do more than just play tunes, though; their design features multifunction on-ear controls that allow you to take calls and activate Siri, all without whipping out your smartphone. Their inclusion of Apple’s WI Bluetooth chip makes for really easy pairing, and with up to 40 hours of battery life and adjustable cushions, they’re designed for everyday, all-day use. 

The Beats Solo3s usually retail for $299.95, but you can snag a pair on Amazon for just $159.99 in your choice of 10 styles: gloss black, matte black, silver, citrus red, defiant black-red, gloss white, gold, rose gold, satin gold, and satin silver.
