Apple rarely offers discounts on its own products, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that Apple welcomed the weekend with great deals on Beats headphones and earphones. Both Beats Studio Pro and Beats Studio Buds Plus have reached some of their best prices to date, with numerous third-party retailers matching Apple's prices. That means you can get the Beats Studio Pro for $199.95 ($150 off) directly from shop/product/MQTP3LL/A/beats-studio-pro-wireless-headphones-black”>Appleor in Amazon and Best Buy for about the same price. Meanwhile, the Beats Studio Buds Plus can be purchased starting at $129.95 ($40 off) at shop/product/MQLK3LL/A/beats-studio-buds-true-wireless-noise-cancelling-earbuds-transparent”>Apple, Amazonand Best Buy.
Compared to Apple's AirPods line, the Studio Pro and Studio Buds Plus offer more flexibility, with native support for iOS and Android software features. The Studio Pro are also Apple's first over-ear headphones to support lossless audio over USB-C, while the Studio Buds Plus arrive in several colors, including a clear option that's flashier than any AirPods model to date. . However, both fall behind the second-generation AirPods Max and AirPods Pro when it comes to transparency and noise cancellation modes, and miss out on some iOS tricks, including audio sharing. Still, both offer better sound, ANC, and battery life than previous models, making them a worthwhile upgrade overall.
If you plan to travel during spring break, purchasing a Bluetooth tracker to monitor your luggage can give you added peace of mind. And right now, one of our favorite models: Eufy SmartTrack Card – is down to an all-time low of $16.99 ($13 off) on Amazon and Photo B&H.
Eufy location trackers are good options for iOS users looking for a cheaper AirTag alternative. This is because they are also compatible with Apple's extensive Find My network, which allows for incredibly precise tracking along with support for unwanted tracking alerts. The biggest difference between Eufy's trackers and Apple's is that they are shaped like a credit card, so you can easily keep them in your wallet or passport. Unfortunately, they don't feature user-replaceable batteries, but they do come with a handy little clip so you can attach them to your laptop and other valuables.
