Early October Prime Day earbuds deal: Save $70 on Beats Studio Buds

SAVE $70: As of Oct. 5, the Beats Studio Buds are on sale at Amazon for just $79.95. That's nearly 50% off their list price of $149.95 and close to their best-ever price.

Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event kicks off on Tuesday, but deals are flooding our feeds already. If noise-cancelling earbuds are on your shopping list, check out this early deal on the Beats Studio Buds.

As of Oct. 5, the Beats Studio Buds are on sale for only $79.95 at Amazon in red, black, and white colorways. That's nearly a 50% discount from their usual list price of $149.95 and just $8 or so shy of their very best price on record.

The Studio Buds hit the market in 2021 and have since been "replaced" by the upgraded Studio Buds+. But you can still find the regular Studio Buds on shelves, which means they're still relevant in 2025. Mashable's tech reporter Alex Perry called them "Apple's new go-to entry-level earbuds" when they first came out, claiming they put the basic AirPods to shame. They pack powerful bass, decent active noise cancellation, transparency mode, spatial audio, and can last 24 hours with the help of the charging case. And even though Beats is owned by Apple, the earbuds are device agnostic and will work seamlessly with just about any phone.

If you want a pair of earbuds that will actually sound good, cancel noise, and be friendly on your wallet, the Studio Buds make a great pick — particularly when they're on sale for basically half price.
