If you’re looking for a set of clean, chic over-ear headphones that are also impressive value for money, there’s an extra special deal on right now. And by extra-special, I mean that the Beats Studio Pro are a massive 57% off at Amazon – a deal that sees them drop to just £149 (was £349.99).
Yes, it’s a massive discount and yes, it’s a return to their lowest ever price tag.

Before dropping to this price for 24 hours in April of this year, the lowest I’d seen the Beats Studio Pro drop is to £179, so an extra £30 off is a rare treat – and this time it’s part of Amazon’s early Black Friday savings so should stick around a little longer. But not forever, if you know what I’m saying.
We’ve spent a lot of time with the Beats Studio Pro, and while they aren’t worthy of the title of best wireless headphones, they are very appealing at this low price – which is the joint-lowest they’ve ever been. These cans provide Beats’ custom acoustic platform with rich and immersive sound, lossless audio via USB-C, and some excellent active noise cancellation. What we’re saying is, all the essentials are here.
Not the set of cans you’re after for Black Friday? That’s OK, I’ve also curated a list of the only headphones and earbuds deals you should consider this Black Friday. Have at it – I made it for you.
Not looking for headphones this Black Friday and wondering how you ended up here? That’s OK. TechRadar’s more general (but still human-curated, and still only containing deals our experts love) Black Friday deals roundup will help. Otherwise, scroll for the deal – and remember to enjoy the music.
Amazon’s outstanding early Black Friday Beats Studio Pro deal
These truly impressive-looking over-ear headphones are designed with Apple users in mind and can connect near instantly to Apple devices, but they also have great Android features. There’s personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking, but also strong fully-adaptive ANC and transparency mode. Up to 40 hours of battery life is useful, with a 10-minute charge providing you with four hours of playback and getting you out of a jam.View Deal
In our Beats Studio Pro review, our writer Jen Allen was conflicted at the full price of £349.99. Expensive. That said, she remarked at their “gorgeous looking” design and “good sound quality”, and while the Beats Studio Pro lacked a few things she liked to see in premium headphones (there’s no multipoint support for iOS and wear detection, for example) when they’re this heavily discounted, we can forgive that – few headphones at the sub-£150 level boast those kinds of perks.
They’re every inch the cans you want to love, thanks to their winsome looks, convenience and Apple-centric features and honestly, at this price, the Beats Studio Pro feel more appealing for anyone considering some of the best noise-cancelling headphones but looking to keep costs down.
Our writer says she still finds herself reaching for the Beats Studio Pro even if they do lack the finer details that pricier cans provide, which is a huge endorsement when testing headphones is literally our job, day in, day out. (I know, tough gig, right?)
Other Black Friday headphones deals to consider
Hold on just a half-second, friend!
Maybe before you click ‘buy now’, in that virtual shopping cart you might want to look at a couple of other early Black Friday headphones deals. So I’ve rounded up the best I’ve seen, right here.
If it’s not listed below, I don’t rate the deal – it’s just how we are at TechRadar. My pick of the bunch? I’d go for the Sony WH-1000XM4 which are also reduced to £149. They’re iconic – a modern classic – and the sound quality is excellent for the money. To wear them is to state that you know good headphones. But that’s just me…
If you’ve been eyeing up the Sony WH-1000XM5 but have been put off by the admittedly high price tag (I’ve listed their original RRP, although they’ve been hovering around £259 for a little while), then today’s your lucky day. These premium headphones have just dropped below £200 and for that money, they’re an excellent buy. Top ANC, great comfort, Sony sound quality. Someone’s Christmas present might just have been sorted… View Deal
OK so this isn’t a 2025 product – but these cans have more than stood the test of time. I’ve listed their most recent price as a marker, although these excellent noise-cancelling over-ears actually launched at £349, so if we’re taking that price, your saving is far more impressive… anyway, they’re a stone cold hit, and again, this is over £19 cheaper than we’ve ever seen them sell for (and TechRadar monitors these things closely). Because of their release date, I didn’t author our Sony WH-1000XM4 review, but I’ve tested them extensively all year as reference headphones and I still thoroughly back your purchase now. The deal’s available on all colourways (Black, Blue or Silver) and it’s live now, way ahead of Black Friday. If you’ve been considering a pair, why wait? View Deal
I helped compile a full review of these headphones and while they’re not sonically perfect (the sound is a little bass-heavy – but maybe you like that kind of presentation), for this ultra-low fee the audio is much better than it’s any right to be. Also, the build feels far more premium than the deal suggests and the battery life (at up to 70 hours, or 44 with ANC deployed) is unheard of for the level. Read our full JLab JBuds Lux ANC review for more, but know this: JLab is a trusted name in affordable head-fi and these over-ear headphones won’t disappoint for what is silly money. View Deal
These just came out – and I mean just, because we haven’t even finished our review of them yet. But we can tell you already that they’re unbelievably good for this price – the sound is solid, they have a great range of features, the noise cancellation is effective, and they’re comfortable. A stone-cold bargain.View Deal
