Act Fast to Grab a Refurbished Pair of the Beats Solo 4 for Just $85 at Woot

Woot is offering the Beats Solo 4 headphones for just $85, just in time for back-to-school shopping.

It’s back-to-school season and now is as great a time to grab a pair of new headphones. Though there are plenty of budget-friendly models available, the truth is there’s no beating high-quality brands like Beats. We’re always on the lookout for ways you can save, and we’ve found a Woot deal that lets you score a refurbished pair of Beats Solo 4 headphones for just $85 for a limited time. This deal is only available for a limited time, so we suggest acting fast if you want a new pair of headphones.

If you’d prefer a new pair, you can get them at Amazon for just $100, which is half off. Still, Woot’s deal is perfect for those looking to save an extra $15.

As far as headphone deals go, you won’t want to miss this one. The Beats Solo 4 headphones have plenty going for them, including a 50-hour battery life, so you won’t need to reach for the charger that often. And when you do need to charge them up, a 10-minute charge gives you 5 hours of listening time. If you’d prefer to listen with a cable instead of wirelessly, you can do so with the Beats Solo 4, which includes support for high-quality audio.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

CNET’s audio expert David Carnoy rated the Beats Solo 4 highly in his full review last year, but advised readers to wait for them to drop to $130 or so. The headphones have custom acoustic architecture and updated drivers, offering the signature sound from Beats. If you’re a fan of bass, you won’t be disappointed. The adjustable earcups and UltraPlush cushions ensure long listening sessions are comfortable.

Woot offers a 1-year warranty on all purchases, and Amazon Prime members get free shipping, which adds to your savings.

Why this deal matters

Getting anything for that price is an incredible opportunity. Choosing your color sweetens the deal, but the limited-time nature of the deal does mean you need to act sooner rather than later.
