Oprah Winfrey is a huge Beats fan, giving the brand's Studio Pro over-the-ear cans the coveted "Favorite Things" title. "I love all things Beats," she declared. "Some of us are over-the-head-headphone people, and if you know one of them, these are the best of the best.” And thanks to Amazon, you can score these audiophile-level Beats Studio Pro cans close to their lowest price ever: They're down to $180 — that's 49% off! But don't miss a beat ... this deal will not last.
Aside from being Oprah's favorite, the Beats Studio Pros come with one-touch pairing, up to 40 total hours of battery life and fast charging capabilities. If you want them at this low price, don't press pause.
Why is this a good deal?????
Any discount on a top-rated, Oprah-approved item is always a cause for pause. But when that discount is pennies away from half-off, well, that's just whiplash material. Yes, their Black Friday sale price was a tad lower but in 2025 we predict this near-50% off deal will be the price to... er... beat!
Why do I need this?????
Because Oprah said so. But seriously, the Studio Pros bring a lot to the table. There are three different sound profiles so that you can fine-tune your listening experience, and you'll get lossless audio through the USB-C connection. There is also active noise canceling as well as a transparency mode — this means you can choose to block out the world or stay aware without losing your tunes.

One-touch pairing combined with a wide range of features for both Android and iPhone users make these a great choice no matter your preferred operating system. There is also personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, and those aren't just buzzwords — the music can actually move as you move your head to make it feel as though you're watching your favorite artist on stage.
When it comes to making calls, these cans don't skimp. There are voice-targeting microphones that filter background noise of any ambient sounds, providing you with a clear call quality whether you're asking a smart assistant for help or hopping on a Zoom call.
What reviewers say ????
Nearly 13,000 five-star fans and a 4.5-star rating prove these Beats Studio Pros are a hit for their comfort, noise-cancelling features, fast charging capability and uber-long battery life (up to 40 hours).
Pros ????
"Arguably as good or better than AirPods Pro Max for way less money, and USB-C," raved a fan. "These are not the overpriced, boomy, distorted Beats of the early 2000s. Ever since Apple acquired them, Beats has been making products that rival or surpass Apple's own at lower prices." They added: "This pair of Beats uses USB-C to charge like every modern device *should* do."

One exuberant reviewer passionately declared, "HOLY MOSES ON A ROCKET POWERED POGO STICK!!!!!! These are some of the comfiest headphones ever!!! I could live in these puppies. ... The sound quality is truly divine! Like, I think these are actually magical they sound so good. And their noise-cancelling capabilities are better than my Gen 3 AirPod Pros! ... Oooooh, and the Battery Life! I'm a busy college student and these last me alllllll day I love it! Please buy these instead of AirPods. They are easier to keep track of, sound better and are way comfier. ... Anyway, TLDR, these are so good I would give my firstborn child for them, so yeah, you should buy them. ... 1,000,000/10, highly recommend.
"Noise-cancelling technology has been a game-changer for me. I am able to handle riding the underground trains much better now that the screeching of steel-on-steel can be mostly muted by the magic of technology. I've read that others do not like how tight these headphones are on their heads. I love this aspect of the fit. For me, it feels good — like a hug or (if this makes sense) like how 'calm' feels. They also physically protect my very, very sensitive ears very well," one fan raved.
"Great noise cancellation," wrote another user. "Can’t hear anything but music even if it's not turned up loud. Very comfortable and fits tightly to the head. Long battery life as well."
Cons ????
But nothing's 100% perfect...

One otherwise happy shopper shared "My only warning for those with longer hair, if you’re wearing them around your neck (to hear something, talk with someone, etc.) careful taking them off or putting them back on your ears, there is a small gap between the headphone part with the buttons (has the b on it) and it's small enough to snag your hair and pull it out if you move quick without knowing."
A final five-star reviewer said, "I’m really happy about the sound quality. These are probably some of the best headphones I’ve bought in the last 10 years. The only negative is they could be a tad louder, but they are really crisp."
The active noise cancelling can block out the world around you and let you focus solely on the sound of your music or whatever else your ears desire.
