Amazon discounts on the Beats Solo 3 wireless and Bose SoundLink headphones makes it easier to snag a pair of the best handphones in the market. We’re not exactly sure what’s going on, and whether these great sales on the Beats Solo3 headphones are a sign that Apple is preparing a new version, but we do know that Amazon has cut prices again. The

Bose Solo 3

wireless headphones in either Gloss or Matte black and Citrus Red is only $150, a 50% savings over retail.

As far as we can tell, this is close to the cheapest that the Solo3’s have been on the site outside of daily deal sales. With so many color options already sold out, supplies of the remaining three colors for the Beats Solo are likely quite limited. If you’re interested, your best bet is to act now rather than wait for an even better sale which may not come. And if you’re looking for more headphone deals from Amazon, these Bose SoundLink headphones are $50 less at Amazon.

While the Solo3’s have been out for a long time, they still are a decent pair of headphones (and especially at this price). Apple’s W1 chip has given the latest Solo headphones an impressive 40-hour battery life while adding Siri support for voice control. Sound quality is acceptable, but it struggles with mids and highs. But bass response is what Beats have long been known for, and we think hip-hop and electronic music enthusiasts will appreciate Solo3’s the most.

If you don’t mind spending a little more, we have another good option on Amazon on a pair of Bose wireless headphones, which are currently on sale.

The Bose SoundLink headphones

hace been marked down from $279 to $229, saving you $50. Unlike the Solo3’s, the SoundLinks do much better in the mids and highs, while still producing punchy bass much like the Solo3’s.

The only bad thing about these headphones is that, for the higher quality sound you’re trading off a fair bit of battery life. The SoundLinks have about 15 hours of battery life per charge, less than half of that of the Solo3’s. Whether this is an acceptable trade-off is up to you, but for those most concerned with sound quality, Bose’s line of headphones are a much better option, in our opinion.

Not only that, but the Meta Quest 3 has some nice upgrades, such as better lenses and a great resolution, and there is even a subscription membership that gives you access to free games. Alternatively, if you'd rather go for something a bit more budget-friendly, you could check out these Meta Quest 2 deals.

Beats Fit Pro.

There's no shortage of options out there if you're on the hunt for true wireless earbuds deals, but we highly recommend going for the Beats Fit Pro. Amazon is selling them for $159, following a 20% discount from their original price of $200. We're not sure how long you've got to take advantage of the $41 in savings, but since this is a limited-time offer, you should act like today's the last day. Proceed with your purchase of these wireless earbuds as soon as you can if you want to make sure that you buy them for cheaper than usual.

Why you should buy the Beats Fit Pro wireless earbuds
In our review of the Beats Fit Pro, we described them as Beats' best earbuds so far for several reasons. Their most unique feature are their wingtips that protrude from the wireless earbuds and curl inward towards your ear. You'll wear the Beats Fit Pro by pushing them into your ear canal and then making a slight rotation to anchor them in your ears. Because the wingtips are made of super-soft silicone rubber, they're comfortable to wear for long periods of time, allowing you to maximize their battery life of up to 6 hours on a single charge and up to 24 hours if you include the power from their charging case.
