A new pair of headphones can feel like a hack for a fresh start. Strolling down the street or hopping onto the train with headphones or earbuds that sound way better than your previous pair offers a brand new take on the world. If you’ll be traveling soon, a solid pair of noise-cancelling headphones is practically as important as the airplane ticket itself.
For years now, Beats has made excellent headphones. The lineup today features comfortable headphones for wearing all day, earbuds that stay put during workouts, and options that come in at affordable prices.
If you’re thinking a new pair of headphones or earbuds is on the must-buy list during back-to-school season, Amazon has a handful of excellent Beats deals. Check out our favorites.

The Beats Studio Pro won the honor of being named Mashable’s favorite Beats headphones. Considering we awarded them this accolade when they were at full price of $350 means we love them even more when they’re on sale for $170. They excel in ANC and have great sound quality, not to mention they get up to 40 hours of battery life or 24 hours with ANC turned on.
Mashable Tech Reporter Alex Perry reviewed the Beats Studio Pro and praised sound and performance. “The active noise cancelation is tremendous. My loud window air conditioner unit just a few feet away might as well not exist when I wear these babies,” he wrote.

Mashable’s favorite earbuds for working out are the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2. Alex Bracetti reviewed the Powerbeats for six months, noting that the excellent fit, heart-rate monitoring, and long battery life are major highlights. According to Bracetti, the fit is excellent for workouts that see plenty of movement. “The Powerbeats Pro 2 perfect wireless audio athleticism. It starts with the signature ear hooks,” he explained. “These are ideal for all workouts, especially running. I always use them when jogging fast-paced on the streets and treadmill. They wrap gently around the ear and lock on for a secure and stable fit that never slips out.”
Getting 10 hours of playtime per charge and up to 45 hours with the included charging case, the Powerbeats Pro 2 are ready for fall workout routines.
