Apple may have just launched its AirPods Max 2 headphones, but really, who can afford $549 for one pair of (admittedly very nice) over-ears?
I've just spotted a deal on the Beats Studio Pro Premium wireless headphones for only $169.95 on Amazon, which is more than half the usual $349.99 retail price and way more affordable than the AirPods Max series.
Beats (Beats by Dr Dre) is a subsidiary of Apple, so it's not like you're downgrading much by compromising on price. We recently reviewed the AirPods Max 2 headphones, and our reviewer felt that while the sound quality and overall build were 'obviously good', the headphones themselves are near-impossible to recommend, with much better value practically everywhere else.
Personally, I'm a Samsung user. But even I can admit that while Apple tech is overpriced (in my opinion), it is highly desirable. With this in mind, I think the Beats Studio Pros are the next best thing for loyal Apple fans who want premium sound quality for a more reasonable price.
