Need a new pair of headphones for jamming to music this summer at your desk or preparing for the next school year? This sale on the Beats Studio Pro is one of the best we’ve seen yet. They were launched at a premium price of $350 but are now selling at their lowest price yet. Amazon has slashed its price by 50%, so you can get a pair for as low as $170. The colors Black, Navy, Sandstone, and Deep Brown are the only models available at this sale price.

The fashion-forward headphones might not be the best-sounding audio product, but at $170, they are among the most stylish and well-rounded headphones you can buy. This is the deal for you if you own multiple smartphones that work on different operating systems. This pair of headphones is platform-agnostic, so you get support for both Android and iOS alongside Google’s Fast Pair, multipoint connectivity, and Bluetooth 5.3.
The Beats Studio Pro are one of the few headphones that feature foldable earcups. While it’s a single-hinge design (won’t fold flat), they are more portable to carry than rivals from Sony and Sennheiser. I found them to be more comfortable to wear than the Sony XM5s. The headband is strong but not too tight.
I prefer physical controls over touch pads, and I love the system on these Beats headphones. You get a large “b” button for play/pause and activating the voice assistant, while volume controls are integrated above and below the “b” button. The right earcup has a multifunctional button for power, pairing, and ANC control.

Featuring 40mm drivers with a dual-layer design, the Beats Studio Pro offer better sound quality than their predecessor. You get aggressive bass and strong highs, although there’s a lack of depth in instrument separation. One can switch to USB-C mode for better audio quality, thanks to support for 24-bit/48-kHz resolution on Apple Music and Tidal. Plus, there are three EQ presets — Beats Signature Sound, Entertainment, and Conversation — available in USB-C mode.
While I wouldn’t pick them over Bose, Sony, or Sonos headphones at the retail price, the $180 sale offer makes them easy to recommend.
The Beats Studio Pro feature six microphones for noise cancellation and voice calling. The active noise cancellation (ANC) is good for the new price. You get decent passive noise isolation suitable for everyday use, such as in cafes and on commutes, where they can easily drown out the public chatter. You also get very good call quality.

The only downside is the absence of on-ear detection sensors. This means the music won’t automatically pause when you remove the headphones. This might bother some people who are coming from a pair of other flagship headphones.
All in all, getting the Beats Studio Pro–> for $170 is a great deal. They are feature-rich, work with Android and iOS devices, and offer some good-quality functionalities. At almost 50% off, this is a fantastic deal.
