Beats Studio3 headphones are on sale for $70 off at Amazon

Anyone who’s serious about headphones knows that spending $349 (give or take a few cents) is kind of a given. 

That’s what the Bose QuietComfort II, Sony XM1000, and Bose Studio3 all go for, and though we’d all pay full price if we really had to, finding a sale on one of them is like a gift from the gods.

Last week it happened with Sony, and today it’s time for Beats to shine: The Beats Studio3 wireless headphones are $70 off at Amazon, making them just $279.95. That’s also their lowest price on Amazon ever.

If you have an iPhone, this is kind of a no-brainer — and not just because Beats is owned by Apple and will get you double the clout. Like AirPods, the Beats Studio3 (and Solo3) are equipped with Apple’s W1 chip. This automatically connects between any devices signed into your iCloud account, meaning you no longer have to mess around in your Bluetooth menu and wait for your stuff to pair. It just happens, and it’s beautiful.

Balanced sound took a while for Beats to achieve, but the Studio3s are genuinely some next-level shit. It’s the perfect script for bass levels, highs, mids, and lows (without blowing out your eardrums). We’ve heard that the details are so fine-tuned, listening to a podcast will have you feeling like you’re actually sitting around a table with the people talking.

But the real star here is the active noise cancellation. Mashable’s Ray Wong writes:

“With the Studio3, Beats introduces something it’s calling Pure ANC. The proprietary Adaptive Noise Cancelling technology goes, according to the company, beyond traditional ANC, constantly adapting to changing environmental conditions. It listens to outside noises, adjusts for sound leaks caused by an inconsistent seal with your head and compares the sound you’re hearing with the clean wave file and adjusts the sound to make sure they still match.

It’s hard to know if the Beats Studio3 headphones are effectively doing all that, but I can tell you that I am impressed with how well the ANC worked. Along with the stunning jackhammer demonstration, the headphones completely cut out all the chatter and train noise during my commute.”

Regularly $349.95, you can save $70 and get your hands on a pair for $279.95.

If the sale price still has your wallet shaking, opt for the Beats Solo3 instead. They’re still a bomb pair of wireless Beats over-ear headphones, but are on sale for $224.95 today. Regardless of your purchase, both have that sweet Prime shipping.
