Apple rarely discounts its products, which is why I was surprised to find that it had some great deals on Beats headphones and earbuds over the weekend.These two Beats Studio Pro and Beats Studio Buds Plus headphones It’s down to its best price yet, with many third-party retailers matching Apple’s pricing. That means you can buy the Beats Studio Pro directly from Apple for $199.95 (a $150 discount), or at Amazon and Best Buy for about the same price. Meanwhile, Beats Studio Buds Plus start at $129.95 ($40 off) and are available at Apple, Amazon, and Best Buy.
Compared with Apple’s AirPods series, Studio Pro and Studio Buds Plus offer greater flexibility and native support for iOS and Android software functions. The Studio Pro are also Apple’s first over-ear headphones to support USB-C lossless audio, while the Studio Buds Plus are available in a variety of colors, including a more eye-catching clear option than any AirPods model to date. However, neither is as good as the AirPods Max and second-generation AirPods Pro when it comes to noise cancellation and transparency mode, and you do lose some iOS tricks, including audio sharing. Still, both offer better sound, ANC, and battery life than previous models, making them worth the upgrade overall.
If you’re planning on traveling during spring break, investing in a Bluetooth tracker to keep an eye on your luggage can give you extra peace of mind. Now, one of our favorite models— Eufy’s SmartTrack Card — Amazon and B&H Photo have the price down to an all-time low of $16.99 ($13 off).
For iOS users looking for a cheaper alternative to AirTag, Eufy’s location tracker is a good choice. That’s because they’re also compatible with Apple’s extensive Find My network, which enables impressively accurate tracking and supports unwanted tracking alerts. The biggest difference between Eufy’s trackers and Apple’s is that they’re credit card shaped, so you can easily slip them into your wallet or passport holder. Unfortunately, they don’t come with user-replaceable batteries, but they do come with a small and handy clip accessory so you can attach them to laptops and other valuables.
