If you’re in the market for a great deal on wireless earbuds, you might appreciate this one. Right now, you can get $70 off the Beats Powerbeats Pro, a last-gen earbud option that still boasts clear, crisp audio. Additionally, we liked them for their comfortable ear clips, which are perfect for fitness use, and a fair price tag with that brings them down to just $130.
While Beats recently launched the Powerbeats Pro 2, which added a nice range of fitness features, the original Powerbeats still have that signature Beats audio quality, making them extra competitive with a few bucks knocked off the price tag.
✅Recommended if: you like wireless earbuds that include the sporty over-ear clips; you want true wireless earbuds that include a charging case; you want earbuds with around nine hours of battery life, or up to a full day with the intermittent use of a charging case.
❌Skip this deal if: you don’t like earbuds with over-ear clips or you wear glasses and worry they won’t be a good fit together; you need earbuds that have an IPXX rating for water and dust protection, rather than general water resistance; you need earbuds with a physical headphone jack.
Although it’s been a while since the Beats Powerbeats Pros were released, they’ve remained the best-sellers for the brand up through the recent release of a next-gen version boasting added fitness features. But if you don’t need all the bells and whistles of a new product, the original Powerbeats Pro earbuds are solid, especially when you can grab them at such a competitive price.
The charging case includes a Lightning to USB-A charging cable with super quick charging. Per charge, the earbuds themselves get around nine hours of playback time, though Beats says you can get as much as a full days’ worth when using the case. In addition to their over-ear clips, which make them a good option for runners or other fitness enthusiasts, they also come with four different-sized ear tips for optimal fit.
