Hurry to Snag the Beats Studio Pro for Over Half Off After Prime Day
These are some of the best headphones out there and now you can grab them for less than $200 if you shop now.

Amazon’s Prime Day dropped prices on devices that rarely go on sale, but it’s over. If you missed the event, there’s still a small window of savings waiting for you, but you’ll have to leap now. One of the biggest lingering Prime Day discounts available right now is on the Beats Studio Pro.
Treat yourself to these Beats Studio Pro headphones for more than half off, with a generous 51% discount, bringing the price down to just $170. This premium pair usually goes for around $350, so grabbing it for under $200 is practically a steal. The discount applies to select color options, but probably won’t be around for long — so we recommend acting fast to grab these.
The Beats Studio Pro headphones earned a CNET review score of 8 out of 10, and offer two distinct listening modes: Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode. In his detailed review, our audio expert David Carnoy appreciated the effectiveness of their noise canceling. According to him, the ANC mode comes close to what you’d get from top-tier models from Sony and Bose, while the Transparency mode lets outside sound in naturally.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
These play nicely with both Apple and Android devices, and one-touch pairing makes it easy to connect within minutes. Battery life lasts up to 40 hours on a single charge, and a quick 10-minute top-up gets you an extra four hours of listening time to keep the music going.
Voice calls get a boost, too. The pair comes with voice-filtering mics that cut out background noise, so you won’t just hear clearly; you’ll be heard just as well.

Why this deal matters

In our experience, deals this good don’t last long, so it’s best to act fast if you want to snag a pair. And since Prime Day is over, this deal is heading out the door sooner rather than later. Grab a pair now if you want one.

Hint for today’s Strands puzzle
Today’s Strands theme is: Around it goes.
If that doesn’t help you, here’s a clue: They’re often on a roll.
Clue words to unlock in-game hints
Your goal is to find hidden words that fit the puzzle’s theme. If you’re stuck, find any words you can. Every time you find three words of four letters or more, Strands will reveal one of the theme words. These are the words I used to get those hints but any words of four or more letters that you find will work:
- CARE, SCARE, CRASS, SWAT, PELL, HELL, SCAR, HALT, STENT, HALTS, TENT, POLL, LOTS
Answers for today’s Strands puzzle
These are the answers that tie into the theme. The goal of the puzzle is to find them all, including the spangram, a theme word that reaches from one side of the puzzle to the other. When you have all of them (I originally thought there were always eight but learned that the number can vary), every letter on the board will be used. Here are the nonspangram answers:
- FOIL, SCARF, SHAWL, STOLE, FLATBREAD, CELLOPHANE
Today’s Strands spangram
Today’s Strands spangram is THATSAWRAP. To find it, start with the T that’s three letters up from the bottom of the far-left row, and wind down, over and then up.
