These Beats Are Music to Your Wallet — Now Just $59 at Woot

A record-low price makes this a deal worth grabbing before it’s gone

The Beats Studio Buds are down to just $59 at Woot right now — that’s $91 off the usual $150 retail price and the lowest we’ve seen this model go. They’re brand-new and backed by a one-year limited Apple warranty. For context, the best price we’d previously tracked was $69 on Amazon.

The sale is live for four more days on Woot or until stocks run out. All colors are available and with the Amazon Big Spring Sale starting tomorrow, this is kind of deal worth grabbing before it’s gone.

Sound-wise, the Studio Buds punch well above their price. You get active noise cancellation to block out the world when you need to focus, and a transparency mode for when you want to stay aware of your surroundings — two modes that cover most everyday listening situations pretty well.

The battery can last eight hours from the buds alone, and the charging case bumps that up to 24 hours total. The IPX4 water resistance means you don’t have to think twice about wearing them to the gym, and while Beats is an Apple-owned brand, it works with both Android and Apple devices.

Why this deal matters

At $59, it’s hard to find much to complain about. This is a great price on a solid pair of earbuds from a brand that knows audio — and with Spring Sale a few hours away, grabbing a deal this good before the main event is a nice bonus.
