I Wear My Beats Studio Pro Headphones at Least 4 Hours a Day -- and They're Finally on Sale
It all started when my beloved Apple AirPods just stopped working one day. No matter what I did, attempting to charge and revive them, they simply would not turn on, and I had to finally accept that they had a good run and it was time to put them to rest. RIP. That put me in a tricky predicament, though. I use headphones at least four to five hours a day, and I desperately needed new ones immediately. I knew I was due for an upgrade, but the AirPods weren't on sale at the time. But coincidentally, the Beats Studio Pro were. I didn't expect to fall in love with a pair of headphones so quickly, especially because I loved my Apple buds so much. I was just hoping for solid noise cancellation and good sound quality, but the Beats delivered so much more -- and now they're an essential part of my daily routine, practically an extension of my ears. Like I said, I get a lot of mileage out of them every single day. Whether I'm writing, commuting, doing chores or taking my precious pup out for a walk, the Beats Studio Pro are there with me. And now, most colors are a solid 43% off right now on Amazon in this holdover Memorial Day deal. If you've been eyeing a pair or looking for a thoughtful gift, now's the time to grab them. Let me explain why. For more Memorial Day deals that are still live, explore our roundup of all the current sales and these top Memorial Day mattress deals. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Here's how the Beats Studio Pro work Let's start with the specs. The Beats Studio Pro are premium over-ear headphones that bring serious upgrades to the iconic Beats design. Think of these as the grown-up, more refined cousin of the Beats Solo series. They're still stylish, still punchy, but with significantly better sound quality and comfort. Here are some key features of the Beats Studio Pro: Macy Meyer/CNET Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode : Two core features that let you tune out the world or stay aware, depending on your mood. The ANC is excellent, especially for this price, and it's great for navigating travel, open offices or city streets. and : Two core features that let you tune out the world or stay aware, depending on your mood.

That's more than enough to get you through several workdays or even a full international flight without scrambling for a charger. : Up to 40 hours with ANC off or 24 hours with it turned on. That's more than enough to get you through several workdays or even a full international flight without scrambling for a charger. Built-in microphones and voice-targeting beamforming tech: Translation: your voice will sound clear on calls, even in a noisy space. They also pair effortlessly with both Apple and Android devices, thanks to support for Find My, Google Fast Pair and one-touch pairing. CNET audio expert David Carnoy closely reviewed these earphones and found both the sound quality and voice-calling performance impressive. "The noise canceling is quite effective," Carnoy wrote in his review. "It's the adaptive variety, so it's not a fixed setting, and occasionally I'd hear it shift in strength as it adjusted to the ambient noise around me, whether I was on the subway or walking the streets of New York." Why I'm obsessed with my Beats There are plenty of great headphones out there. So what sets these apart for me? First and foremost, I love the comfort. I've worn lots of over-ear headphones that start to ache or feel heavy after an hour or so. I also have several ear piercings -- five in my left ear and three in my right -- and that means many over-ear headphones push the earring into my skin, digging in until it's quite painful. Not these. The earcups are plush, the clamping force is just right, and the memory foam actually makes a difference. I can wear them for hours without fatigue, which is saying something when you log four to five hours a day in them. The sound quality is also great. Beats used to have a reputation for overly bass-heavy tuning, but the Studio Pro strikes a beautiful balance. There's still that satisfying low-end thump when I'm listening to pop, hip hop or K-pop, but it doesn't overpower the vocals or mids. Whether I'm streaming Hozier for the umpteenth hour, catching up on podcasts or listening to a new audiobook, everything sounds great. Finally, the ANC and Transparency Mode are shockingly good. I've used my Beats in loud coffeeshops, on airplanes and while vacuuming, and they efficiently block out noise like a champ. But when I need to hear what's going on (like when I run into one of my neighbors while I'm walking my dog), a quick button press switches me into Transparency Mode, and I can hear them clearly. It's seamless. I would also be remiss if I didn't mention their style. Frankly, they just look cool. I know that's not the most important thing, but the sleek matte finish, the minimalist design and the range of colors make these headphones feel like a fashion accessory as much as a tech device. I have the "Earth" color headphones, and they look so gorgeous with any outfit. My one request, though, (Beats execs, I'm sure you're reading this!) would be to make these in a sage green color. Pretty please? They'd make a great gift for any audiophile Buying tech for someone else can be tricky, but I think the Beats Studio Pro are a pretty safe bet for anyone for a few reasons. For one, they work across platforms, so it doesn't matter if your gift recipient is team iPhone or Android. The intuitive pairing process, native device integration and wide compatibility make these user-friendly for just about anyone. They're also great for all types of use cases. Daily commuters? Check. Frequent flyers? Definitely. College students pulling all-nighters, or music lovers who want to hear every nuance of a track? Absolutely. These can suit really any type of person, day in and day out. The Beats just feel premium, too. This is the kind of gift someone might not splurge on for themselves, but they would certainly be grateful to open up these Beats, no matter the occasion. If you're shopping for graduation season, Father's Day or a summer birthday, these are a hit waiting to happen. Why this Beats deal matters Let's get down to numbers. The Beats Studio Pro normally retail for $350 or $450, depending on the color you select. That's pretty pricey. But right now, most colors are 43% off, bringing the price down to about $199. (The matte white ones are even down to $170.) That's some of the lowest prices I've seen, and I keep a pretty close eye on tech deals. Sales like this don't come around often, especially on newer, high-demand models, so when they do, it's worth jumping on. Considering the quality, durability and features packed into these headphones, $199 is honestly a steal. You're getting flagship-level ANC, excellent sound and cross-platform support for less than the cost of most premium earbuds. My final thoughts on my Beats Studio Pro headphones In a world full of flashy gadgets and fleeting trends, the Beats Studio Pro are the real deal. They've become an essential part of my everyday life, not because they're trendy or hyped, but because they work. They're reliable, comfortable and sound fantastic. And now that they're seeing a deep discount, it's a great time to pull the trigger and buy them.

Beats Studio Pro in dune finish Memorial Day isn't until Monday, May 26, but things have started early and the Beats deal is one of the most eye-catching offers so far. The deal highlighted in this post was independently selected by the Contributor and does not contain affiliate links. Beats Studio Pro headphones are available in seven colors from Amazon at this link. The regular price for these headphones is $349.99, which is already almost $200 less than you'd pay for Apple's AirPods Max. But now, in what Amazon describes as a limited-time deal, there's 51% off, that's a $180.04 cut and brings the sticker price down to $169.95. The colors available are black, deep brown, navy and sandstone. Those are the four colors Apple and Beats sell directly. Additionally, there's moon and dune, which Apple no longer sells and which are part of Beats' collaboration with Kim Kardashian.

There's also personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, which means that if you're watching a video on an iPad, say, and if you turn your head away, the audio still comes from the same direction, as though it's locked to the screen. Although they are made by Apple, Beats headphones are also designed to work well with Android phones. There are microphones which target voices to make them effective for calls. Battery life is up to 40 hours without noise-cancelling, or 24 hours with noise-cancelling. What's called a Fast Fuel charge means 10 minutes of charging delivers up to four hours of playback.
