Sure, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 wireless earbuds are a solid option if you’re happy to splash the cash, but you don’t need to spend that much. Beats is responsible for some of the offerings on our best earbuds list for good reason, and that goes for its previous-gen models as well. Right now, you can save a small fortune on a pair of Beats Powerbeats Pro earbuds at Woot, where their regular price of $250 has been slashed to just $100.

There are a couple of catches to keep in mind, though. The first is the fact you only have two days to act if you want to snag these earbuds. The second? You can only get these earbuds in black.
