Today Only: Get the Top-Rated Beats Studio Pro Headphones for Just $100

Act fast to get these factory-reconditioned headphones while they’re cheap.

While there are plenty of amazing headphone options out there, only a few of them end up on our list of the best headphones.A great example of some of the best around are the excellent Beats Studio Pro headphones, but they come with a price tag to match.

Right now, you can pick yourself up the Beats Studio Pro headphones from Woot for just $100 if you use the code BEATS20 at checkout. These ones are factory reconditioned, which is basically another way of saying refurbished to a high standard, but the deal is only on until the end of the day, so you’ll need to be quick to get the discount.

In his review of the Beats Studio Pro headphones, CNET’s audio expert David Carnoy said that, «Overall, these are very good performing headphones that I’ve been happy to add to my headphone rotation.» He noted that the price was often the biggest sticking point, but when you’re getting them with such a hefty discount, it’s hard not to view that as a non-issue.

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

There’s no doubt that this is one of the best headphone deals on right now, it’s just a shame it’s only on until the end of the day. Make sure you act on this as soon as possible to avoid missing out on it, and don’t forget to use the code BEATS20 to get the full amount off.
