Update: The new black model Beats Solo Buds have now dropped even lower to $53.10, and the advertised early Black Friday price on the Arctic Purple set via Target is now live at $49.99 shipped.
Apple’s Beats brand updated its lineup of earbuds with the all-new Solo Buds back in April shortly before we came impressed after going hands-on. Delivering particularly notable 18-hour battery life (in the buds themselves) and a relatively affordable package, these ultra-compact wireless buds have now been marked down for the first time outside of the very limited Prime Day offer. Regularly $80, you can now secure the black set at $59 shipped via Amazon. That’s 26% off and the lowest price we have tracked outside of the 48-hour price drop to $50 for Prime Day.
Delivering one of the more compact and minimalist designs in the earbuds space as a whole, Apple’s Beats brand is also serving up some of the most capable battery life out there. While you have already and will continue to see brands factor in the additional hours the companion charging cases add to the listening experience, these mini buds provide up to 18 hours on a single charge without ever juicing them back up again – our testing confirms as much. You can’t actually use the case to charge them anyway – unless it is plugged in via USB-C – but at 18 hours, you’ll rarely ever need to anyway.
Joining compatibility with both iOS and Android devices, they feature built-in one-touch pairing and laser-cut vents to “further improve audio performance while relieving pressure for added comfort.”
But everything else you need to know about the Beats Solo Buds awaits in our detailed hands-on review right here.
