Looking for a new pair of in-ear or over-the-ear headphones? Try out a new set of Beats. We can't get enough of Apple's AirPods and AirPods Max, but their fun and funky cousin, Beats, are excellent options for great sound at affordable prices. There's also the added bonus of Apple happening to own Beats as well, so if you use iOS devices, your Beats play and sync well with those, too. Beats also come in a variety of unique colors too, if that's something that interests you. 

If you want to try out a pair of Beats headphones, Amazon has several of the brand's most popular models on sale with some seriously steep discounts. You can even get the brand new Beats Solo 4 over-the-ear headphones at their lowest price yet right now. Older models and in-ear options are discounted as well. Just add your favorite model to your cart and check out. 

Below, find some of our favorite picks from the Amazon Beats sale below and scoop up the savings while you still can. These are some of the best prices you'll see ahead of Amazon's big Prime Day sale later this summer.


Beats Solo 4: $130 (save $70)

The newest model of Beats Solo headphones just debuted May 2, and they've already been discounted thanks to this Amazon sale. These stylish headphones come in four colors, including slate blue, cloud pink, silver and slate blue, and come with a bevy of new features. 

They can be used both wired or wirelessly, and offer up to 50 hours of playback, with a 10-minute charge boosting them for an additional five hours in a pinch.

For audiophiles, they come with spatial audio support as well as dynamic head tracking with an ergonomic fit, plush ear cushions, and a slew of Apple-centric features like Find My, which means you can track them down if you happen to lose them. 

While they don't offer noise cancellation, they're more than worth grabbing, especially since they're brand new and at a discounted price. 


Beats Solo 3: $130 (save $70)

You don't have to buy the newest Beats Solo4 headphones to get a solid pair that'll give your fave tunes the love they deserve. The previous model is still available, and they come with similar features to the Solo4.

They offer the same Apple W2 chip and wireless Bluetooth connectivity and offer 40 hours of battery life with a plush headband and earcups that make extended wear comfortable. You'll get 40 hours of listening time, with an additional three hours after charging for 5 minutes.

Since the Beats Solo 3 headphones are the same price as the newest model right now, we'd recommend going ahead and getting those instead, but if the Solo 4 headphones happen to sell out, these are a good alternative. 


Beats Studio Pro: $180 (save $170)

The sleek and powerful Beats Studio Pro make a great gift for anyone who takes listening to music seriously. Their top-notch audio quality and variety of features, including fantastic noise cancellaiton and lossless audio, make them the perfect choice for anyone who spends much of their time with their cans on.

They offer simple one-touch pairing with Apple devices, spatial audio support, and dynamic head-tracking, so the music can follow you no matter where you turn your head. With lossless audio, adaptive noise canceling, and transparency mode, they're truly customizable so you can enjoy your audio the way you want to. 

And they look great, too: They come in black, deep brown, navy and sandstone, each with a plush headband and ear cushions. Finally, they offer up to 40 hours of battery life, with a 10-minute charge delivering an additional four hours of playtime.


Beats Studio3: $159 (save $191)

If you don't need the newest Beats Studio headphones, this older pair is still just as good, and you'll save a bit more cash. They're quite similar to the newest option in many ways, except they have a shorter battery life and fast-charging doesn't juice them up as quickly. They also have a few less of the more premium features.

What they do have, however, is noise cancellation, real-time audio calibration so you can listen to your music the way you want, and a 22-hour battery life that charges up to three more hours with just 10 minutes of electricity. Plus, they come with Apple's W1 chip, which gives you smooth connectivity by way of Bluetooth to keep you solidly connected, even when you're bopping around and dancing.

Beats Fit Pro: $160 (save $40)

Need rugged, high-quality earbuds that you can take anywhere? The Beats Fit Pro are another great option. They offer three listening modes, including active noise cancellation, transparency mode and adaptive EQ to help you customize your experience. They're sweat and water-resistant as well, with flared secure-fit wingtips to help keep them in your ear. Plus, they come with spatial audio support.

You'll get up to six hours of wireless listening time as well as an additional 24 hours with the wireless charging case included. These are another excellent choice if you want something to take while you work out or even get some swimming in. You'd have to do a lot to get them to fall out. 


Powerbeats Pro: $160 (save $90)

Amazon

These Beats earbuds are a lot sturdier than their counterparts, and as such, they're larger as well. They offer high-performance audio while remaining sweat- and water-resistant so you can take them with you just about wherever you go. They include volume and track controls on each individual bud, with auto play and pause buttons you can use just by touching the earbuds.

They'll stay securely in your ear thanks to their hook-like secure-fit additions, and will remain there until you remove them. They offer up to nine hours of playtime, and over 24 additional hours with the charging case as well. They're the perfect option for anyone who wants a bit more out of their earbuds, and you'll no doubt be asked where you got them; they're almost as iconic as AirPods.
