Whether listening to your favorite podcast on the daily commute or getting pumped up for a long gym session, treat yourself to a pair of Beats Solo3 Wireless over-ear headphones or Fit Pro in-ear buds, on sale this Amazon Prime Day for up to 42% off the retail cost.

Prime subscribers can save $85 on the $114.95 Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones(Opens in a new window) or $40 on the Beats Fit Pro earbuds(Opens in a new window) , now $159.95. If that's still too pricey, Beats Studio Buds(Opens in a new window) come in five colors with a deal price of $95—down from the original $149.

The first on-ear headphones to utilize Apple's W1 chip, the Beats Solo3 Wireless deliver a solid, bass-forward listening experience. Available in black, rose gold, or red, the supra-aural headset features a 3.5mm audio cable connection and on-ear control panel for managing playback, calls, and volume. Beats estimates 40 hours of battery life (though results will depend on volume levels), with the promise that five minutes of charging gains another three hours of listening.

Since Apple owns Beats, the W1 chip offers some extra perks for iOS users, like seamlessly switching between devices, plus easier Bluetooth pairing and improved range. But these headphones will pair with devices running other OSes, like Android.

If you prefer in-ear sound, look no further than the Beats Fit Pro—true wireless earbuds that deliver deep bass and crisp highs with noise cancellation and a super-secure fit.

Take your pick of black, gray, purple, or white buds (with matching carrying/charging case), each boasting Apple's H1 chip, which enables Spatial Audio, Adaptive EQ, hands-free Siri, and one-touch iOS pairing. The chunky Fit Pro earpieces feature built-in fins to stabilize the in-ear seal, and ship with three tip sizes: small, medium, and large. An IPX4 rating means the earbuds can handle sweat, light rain, or splashes, but should not be submerged in water.

Tap the Beats logo on the outer panels to control playback and call management, navigate tracks, enable or disable active noise cancellation (ANC), or change the volume. Apple iOS owners can also use hands-free Siri voice commands and Apple's Find My function to locate missing earbuds. Expect six to seven hours of battery life (six with ANC or transparency turned on, seven with Adaptive EQ enabled), plus 21 to 23 hours in the charging case.

The true wireless Beats Studio Buds deliver thunderous bass depth matched by crisp highs for a balanced mix, with decent noise cancellation for a reasonable price. And on Prime Day, they're event cheaper, dipping below $100 for music fans on a budget. In our review, we found that they're not as polished as the AirPods Pro, but you do get Spatial Audio for Apple Music’s Dolby Atmos-mixed tracks, and one-touch pairing for both iOS and Android devices.
