The Beats Solo 4 headphones, which only launched in April, are 50 percent off at $99.99 ($100 off) from Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, matching their all-time low. If you prefer over-ear headphones or need active noise cancellation, the Beats Studio Pro fit the bill and are also matching their record low price of $169.99 ($180 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.

The Solo 4 are a solid refresh that should serve you well into 2025 and beyond. Like typical Beats, they have a sound signature favoring emphasized bass, but with a healthier balance between the mids and highs than older headphones in the line. Apple meets today’s expectations for…

One of the best deals on wireless headphones during Prime Day earlier this month is back. The Beats Solo 4 headphones, which only launched in April, are 50 percent off at $99.99 ($100 off) from Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, matching their all-time low. If you prefer over-ear headphones or need active noise cancellation, the Beats Studio Pro fit the bill and are also matching their record low price of $169.99 ($180 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.

The Solo 4 are a solid refresh that should serve you well into 2025 and beyond. Like typical Beats, they have a sound signature favoring emphasized bass, but with a healthier balance between the mids and highs than older headphones in the line. Apple meets today’s expectations for mid-range headphones with features like spatial audio and lossless playback over USB-C (or 3.5mm), the latter even after the 50-hour battery dies. If you often bounce between iOS and Android devices, Beats are ideal as they natively support each platform’s fast pairing and switching features, plus their respective Find My features.

What you don’t get from the Solo 4 is ANC, which we thought was egregious for a $200 starting price but is forgivable with the discount. If that’s an important trait for you, you’ll want to consider increasing your budget for the Beats Studio Pro. They’re a little bigger and heavier, but have similar cross-platform appeal with a bigger soundstage and a pretty effective transparency mode. The Studio Pro won’t exactly impress audiophiles, but they’ll more than get the job done for casual listening without costing nearly as much as the headphones that do.

Beats Solo 4

$100$20050% off

With lossless USB-C audio, 50-hour battery life, Find My, spatial audio, and more comfy ear cups, the Beats Solo 4 gained significant quality-of-life improvements over their eight-year-old predecessors. They still deliver that bass-rich Beats sound, too. Read our review.

$100 at Amazon

Beats Studio Pro

$170$35051% off

Compared to their predecessors, the Beats Studio Pro feature improved noise cancellation, sound quality, and comfort. They were the first Apple headphones to support lossless audio over USB-C, too, and probably are your best option if you frequently switch between iOS and Android devices. Read our review.

A few more Monday deals

Today only, Best Buy is discounting the 10-ounce Ember Mug 2 in stainless steel to $74.99 (50 percent), which is the best price we’ve seen yet. The mug will keep your drinks warmed between 120 degrees and 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use Ember’s app to dial in the perfect temperature, and it’ll stick there as long as its 1.5-hour battery lasts. If you’re a slow sipper, the included charging base keeps it going indefinitely. It’s a holiday hit, whether you’re gifting it to loved ones or getting one for yourself to curl up with in the coming winter.The Lenovo Legion Go gaming handheld with an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor and 512GB of RAM is down to around $499.99 ($200 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo, which is a new all-time low price. It’s faster than a Steam Deck and an interesting alternative to the ROG Ally X, given the cheaper price. It sits somewhere in the middle of those two when it comes to gaming power, but can outpace the Ally with an overclock. The Legion Go’s main claim to fame is a bigger 8.8-inch 144Hz display and detachable controllers. It’s a lot to hold when the full kit is assembled, but great for maximizing screen real estate and ergonomics if you don’t mind the hit to overall portability.

The third-gen smart display can help you keep tabs on smart home cameras, place video calls, check on weather and appointments, and even stream movies and TV. That’s in addition to all of the hands-free Alexa functionality you’ll get from any Echo device. The size is understated compared to other Echo displays, but it’s just right for a nightstand, countertop, or desktop.
