Stop what you're doing. I may have just found one of the best deals going in the October Amazon Prime Day sale – but you're going to want to be quick. Right now, the Beats Studio Buds + are 37% off, down to £113.99 — that's the lowest price they've ever been, according to camelcamelcamel and my personal experience, having covered every online shopping event since they launched. But the sale ends at midnight, so there's not long left to snap up this deal.
The Beats Studio Buds + are some of the best running headphones on the market, with a decent battery life, touch controls and impressive sound quality. While some people may find them a little fiddly, I find they fit snuggly in the ears and don't budge – even during the toughest of interval sessions.
| Type | In-ear |
|---|---|
| Battery life | 9 hours (36 hours with charging case) |
| Noise cancelling | Yes |
| Touch controls | Yes |
| Weight | 5g (each bud)/49g case |
| Accessories included | 2 different chargers, 4 different size ear tips, warranty |
The Beats Studio Buds first launched in mid-2021, with many being pleasantly surprised by their impressive sound quality at an affordable price. Then, last year, Apple released the Studio Buds +, with even better sound, improved noise cancellation and longer battery life (an extra hour on a single charge and loads more in the charging case).
What everyone's reading
The headphones offer nine hours of listening time, plus up to 36 hours with the charging case. I found this to be extremely accurate, with the battery depleting after about four, 1-1.5 hour runs, plus listening to music on my commute to and from the office.
So, if you’re looking for a quality pair of earbuds at a bargain price, the Beats Studio Buds + are definitely worth a look. Their punchy base, decent battery life and flawless iOS/Android integration makes them some of the best wireless running headphones on the market. Their lack of ear hooks or wings might not be ideal for everyone, though.
