All of these Black Friday deals are available from Amazon. All of these deals apply to all color versions of each product, with only one exception: the Beats Studio Plus in Cosmic Silver are actually $10 cheaper.

Which Beats Black Friday deal should you get?

Of course, it’s a bit difficult to tell you which headphones are the absolute best. It all depends on your specific needs, budget, and preferences. Let’s go over each of these and try to guide you through picking the right one for your needs.

Spatial audio, lossless playback, and big battery life

The Beats Studio Pro are a relatively light-weight set of Bluetooth headphones. With up to 40 hours of battery life, USB Type-C charging and wired playback, as well as a 3.5mm port, ANC, and Spatial Audio, these are contenders for the hottest headphones of 2023.

If you truly want a more straightforward answer as to which are the best Beats headphones, overall, we would have to say our favorite ones are the Beats Studio Pro. These effectively mix Apple’s features with Beats’ iconic style. We loved their lightweight and foldable design, making them very portable and travel-friendly. They still offer USB-DAC for wired listening, which is a nice feature that is starting to disappear.

Apple lovers will enjoy features like Spatial Audio, Find My support, Fast Pairing, and Transparency Mode. The battery life is outstanding, at over 31 hours, based on our standardized tests. The sound quality is pretty good, as is their ANC performance. These do an excellent job of blocking external sound. If we had to complain about something, it would have to be the earcup size, which is a bit on the smaller side.

Beats Fit Pro are true wireless noise-cancelling earbuds that work just as well with Android devices

The Apple-owned Beats Fit Pro are just as easy to use with an Android device as they are with an iPhone, fitting well with multiple ear tips, and boosted bass sound quality. The only downsides are the price tag and ANC issues.

If we had to pick one set of earbuds from this company, it would be the Beats Fit Pro, mainly if you use an iPhone. These come with an Apple H1 chip, so Apple users get Spatial Audio. Android users can access all other features, though.

You’ll get pretty good ANC, as well as a secure fit, thanks to the wing tips on each earbud. Other features include an IPX4 rating, so you won’t have to worry much about working out with these, or getting them a bit wet. Just like with AirPods, you’ll get direct hands-free access to Siri. These also scored pretty high in our sound quality tests, and they are less bassy. We know excessive bass is a common complaint with Beats audio products.

Some sequels just aren’t worth the hype.

This is not the set of headphones you buy because you want bang for your buck. There are a very narrow range of needs these headphones suit, and you’d be better served waiting for these to go on sale before considering them.

If you prefer on-ear headphones, the Beats Solo 4 will be a nice match for you. These are more affordable on this list, too, at just $99.99 with this Black Friday deal. What most impressed us about these headphones is the impressive 84-hour battery life, which beats most of the competition without breaking a sweat.

Despite the fantastic battery life, you still get a portable and lightweight design, which makes these great for commuters and frequent flyers. You’ll still enjoy Spatial Audio with head tracking. We were actually quite pleased by the sound quality, as these aren’t as bass-heavy as previous-gen Beats headphones.

We believe these offer the best balance between price and quality if you don’t mind the typical on-ear inconsistencies, such as possible spotty ANC and long session comfort.

Beats Studio Buds Plus

The Beats Studio Buds Plus are good earbuds for listeners who hop between Android and iOS. Beats’ active noise canceling is a step up from the original Studio Buds. Small housings and a range of ear tip options make these a joy to wear for hours at a time.

If you use an Android device and want the most seamless support, you’ll want to take a look at the Beats Studio Buds Plus. These ditch the Apple H1 and W1 Apple chips, leaving exclusivities behind.

These also came with nice additions for Android users, such as AAC and SBC support. That said, iPhone users also don’t get extra features like Spatial Audio or auto-switching. Definitely something to keep in mind!

ANC performance is pretty good, filtering as much as 30dB at 90Hz. And while these are tiny, the battery life is surprisingly good at eight hours and 22 minutes with ANC enabled. We’re also happy to report there is no excessive bass with these.


These are all Black Friday deals, and similarly to Apple products, Beats discounts don’t come as often as we would wish. Make sure to get these while the prices are at more reasonable levels!
