Beats’ new Powerbeats Fit earbuds are down to $180

It’s almost the new year and time to treat yourself to a new pair of earbuds — especially if one of your resolutions for 2026 is to work out more. If you find yourself reading this and nodding, take a look at the Beats Powerbeats Fit, a recent upgrade of Beats’ Fit Pro earbuds that feature a redesigned wing tip. They are now on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H for about $179.99, which is $20 off their usual $199.99 price and the lowest they’ve gone so far.

According to the company, the new tips have more flexibility in order to improve comfort while keeping the earbuds more securely anchored in your ears. While these mid-level earbuds still use the H1 chips (the Powerbeats Pro 2 and the AirPods Pro 3 are equipped with Apple’s newer H2 wireless chip), they have most of the features you’d look for, whether you’re using them with an iPhone (hands-free Siri access, Find My tracking, and syncing across Apple devices through iCloud) or an Android phone (one-touch pairing and location tracking through the Beats mobile app, along with customizable controls).

Other great deals

  • Our reviewer, Victoria Song, named the Pixel Watch 4 the Android watch to beat, and the 41mm model is currently discounted from $349.99 to $299.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and the Google Store, the lowest it’s been. The watch is definitely something to think about if you’re an Android user: it features stylish hardware and software designs, a bright display, and battery life that can go for at least a day and a half. And if you need to, you can replace the battery or screen yourself, which is something to consider if you like to keep your devices as long as possible. Read our review.
  • On the other hand, if you’re in the Apple camp — and especially if you got a new iPad for the holidays — you can get yourself an Apple Pencil Pro for $94.97, down from $129.99, at Amazon. This is an improvement on the Pencil that comes with the iPad and offers pressure sensitivity, double-tap tool switching, gyroscope features, and a squeeze gesture for switching between software functions, just the thing for more sophisticated iPad use.

  • If you’re looking for a low-cost charger that will get your devices going again quickly, Woot is selling a value pack of the Otterbox 30W Premium Pro Fast Charge at $11.99 for two — a single one of these chargers has a suggested retail price of $34.95. Might as well get four, or even six — an extra charger is always useful.
