If you've been keeping an eye on our list of the best Prime Day headphones deals available this year since Amazon's big summer sales event officially debuted earlier today, you undoubtedly found plenty of great true wireless earbuds options at much larger discounts than $20.
Samsung's old but gold Galaxy Buds Live, for instance, are marked down by a whopping 85 bucks in no less than four different colorways, and even Apple's rarely discounted AirPods 3 can be had at their lowest ever price after an unusually deep (Prime-exclusive) $30 cut.
Why should you then choose the Beats Studio Buds+ over its two aforementioned competitors, as well as other substantially discounted products in the category like the Galaxy Buds 2, AirPods Pro 2, or Sony LinkBuds S? Because these bad boys, which were released by Apple less than two months ago with minimal fanfare, come with a transparent design matched (or outshined) only by the Nothing Ear (1) and Ear (2), which remain hard to come by at major US retailers like Amazon.
Of course, that's not the only thing that makes the Studio Buds Plus quite appealing at 20 bucks under their $169.95 list price, especially if you opt for a more conventional black or "ivory" paint job than the attention-grabbing see-through version.
Unlike the non-Pro third-gen AirPods, for instance, Apple's newest Beats-branded earbuds offer state-of-the-art active noise cancellation technology, and that's just the icing on a cake of premium features and capabilities that also includes Transparency Mode, Spatial Audio, beam-forming microphones, and IPX4 water resistance layers guaranteeing excellent sound in any environment, crystal clear calls, and decent long-term durability.
Powered by a "proprietary Beats platform" rather than an Apple H1 or H2 chip, the Studio Buds+ are fully and natively compatible with both iPhones and Android handsets from all manufacturers, which makes them a phenomenal alternative for the likes of Samsung's Galaxy Buds 2 Proand Apple's AirPods Pro 2... at a lower price right now.
As you can imagine, said lower price is only good for Amazon Prime members today and tomorrow, representing the first-ever discount offered by any retailer on this vastly improved version of the original Beats Studio Buds released back in the summer of 2021.
