Boom! Beats Studio Buds just crashed to their lowest-ever price for Cyber Monday
I like this earbuds deal better than AirPods – and I think you will too
The Black Friday deals keep on dropping, and some of these deals just keep on dropping – by which we mean prices have gone even lower as we head towards those tasty Cyber Monday deals. Case in point: a few days ago we spotted the top-rated Beats Studio Buds on sale for just $99.99 at Amazon, down from $149.95.
But now, we're here to tell you that in the US they've dipped to $10 cheaper than even that, to just $89.99 at Amazon thus equalling their lowest-seen price – ever.
Don't forget to take a look at how Crutchfields promo codes can help you save more too.
If you're not in the US, you'll find the best Beats and AirPods Pro deals where you are further down the page.
Beats Studio Buds – now even cheaper for Cyber weekend
Beats Studio Buds: was $149.95 now $89.95 at Amazon.com
Beats Studio Buds are hands-down the best Beats earbuds you can buy, and Amazon's latest post-Black Friday discount has the earbuds down to $89.95, which equals their record-low price. You're getting Active Noise Cancelling technology, a comfortable fit, and very decent audio performance. Compared to Apple's AirPods Pro 2, (which have dropped to $199.99; a great deal, but still a lot more expensive than these loveable Beats buds) this is a great alternative.
The Beats Studio Buds deliver a powerful, balanced sound: the bass floor is expansive but it doesn't congest the mix, as previous Beats headphones have in the past been guilty of. The low end is grippy, but still manages to be petulant and articulate, retaining the best bits of Beats' sound profile and improving on them.
I personally love these earbuds for their small, comfortable and novel design – the top portion is shaped like a switch, which (sounds odd but it) makes them so easy to twist-to-lock during wear that you'll wonder why other manufacturers don't do it too.
Apple's Beats Studio Buds also provide an impressive eight hours of battery life, and are compatible with both Apple and Android devices – although you'll get the most out of them using an Apple device (because they'll present themselves ready for pairing when you open the case and draw them close to it).
No EQ tweaks or multi-device pairing, but you are getting Bluetooth 5.2 plus three listening modes in total: Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), ANC off and Transparency mode. And all of them work very well indeed.
What I'm trying to say is that they're a great alternative to Apple's pricier AirPods Pro, but of course, we've got plenty of other options for you if the object of your heart's desire lies elsewhere.
When we spot another choice deal (we're working around the clock on this, we promise) you'll be the first to know – but our Black Friday headphones deals still live and Black Friday earbuds deals still live roundups are also very good pages to check out. Happy deals hunting, and happy Cyber weekend, music lovers!

Today's best Sonos Black Friday deals in the US
- Amazon: big selection of Sonos products and accessories
- Best Buy: great for Sonos bundles
- Walmart: huge range Sonos tech, accessories and bundles
- Crutchfield: AV specialist offers the full Sonos range
Sonos Roam SL Bluetooth speaker: was $159 now $127 at Sonos
The Sonos Roam SL is the same portable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled speaker as the Sonos Roam, but has no mics and thus no built-in voice assistant support, although it'll tag along if you've got voice control elsewhere in your Sonos setup. And we've never seen it quite so affordable before – $32 isn't a huge saving, but it's the best out there!
Sonos One SL wireless speaker: was $199 now $159 at Crutchfield
An excellent small speaker, capable of impressive detail and big sound over Wi-Fi. This version of the Sonos One doesn't include the mic and smart speaker tech, but it's a bit cheaper as a result, and some people don't want that anyway. Obviously, it works in a Sonos multi-room system, or two work as a great stereo set, or they work in a surround system with a Sonos soundbar.
Sonos One smart speaker (gen 2): was $219 now $175 at Crutchfield
This is a top deal on a Sonos staple. Looking to get into Sonos' wonderful world of multi-room audio? This is your gateway product, although it's a veritable sonic delight in its own right and with no other speakers to work with as well. We've also never seen it drop to this price until now –$179, yes. $175? No. Bargain.
Sonos Arc Dolby Atmos soundbar: was $799 now $719 at Crutchfield
This is an excellent deal, because it's $80 cheaper than we've ever seen the Arc to date, and it's a sensational five-star soundbar with Dolby Atmos, TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus. Setup is incredibly simple too. This is Sonos, remember, the firm that wrote the book on multi-room audio for your home. Our advice? If you've been considering the Arc for a little while now, this is the moment…
Sonos Sub (Gen 3): was $749 now $599 at Crutchfield
A smart design with a hole in the middle and push-push drivers either side delivers big bass that diffuses evenly and doesn't rattle the windows. This 20% discount is as cheap as we've ever seen it. Yes, there's now a newer Sub Mini in Sonos land, but come on, where subwoofers are concerned, bigger is better…
Sonos Beam (Gen 2) soundbar: was $449 now $359 at Amazon
The 2nd generation Sonos Beam hits its lowest-ever price with this excellent 20% discount. The compact and stylish soundbar features excellent integration with the wider Sonos ecosystem and immersive virtual Dolby Atmos support. Its size is great for TVs between 43 inches and 58 inches.
Sonos Move portable speaker: was $399 now $319 at Crutchfield
You want a Sonos Move? Well you've got to, um… move! We've seen it briefly drop to $299 before, but this is only $20 more and chances are, this deal on one of Sonos' most popular speakers won't last for long. Unusually for Sonos, (and like the Roam) you've got built-in Bluetooth for audio streaming from your smartphone or tablet, plus Apple AirPlay, IP56 dust- and water-resistance, four mics, AutoTrueplay (which means it'll adjust sonically to its surroundings) and two amps for each of the speakers; a woofer and a down-firing tweeter.
Sonos Outdoor Speakers: was $799 now $569 at Amazon
Elevate your outdoor space with this pair of Sonos outdoor speakers, which are on sale at Amazon. While we saw the speaker drop to $444 during Prime Day, this is not too far from that and impressive discount for the speakers that are designed to withstand humidity, water, salt spray, heat, UV rays, and freezing temperatures.
Sonos One (Gen 2): was $554.99 now $438 at Amazon
If you're looking for a pair of premium speakers, Amazon has the 2nd generation Sonos One on sale for $438, which is the lowest price we've seen all year. The powerful Sonos speakers work with Amazon Alexa for voice control and can either be paired together or put in two different rooms to deliver rich sound.

Sonos Arc soundbar: was £899 now £699 at Amazon
This is a top deal chaps. Why? Because it's a stonking £100 cheaper than we've ever seen it to date and it's a sensational five-star soundbar with Dolby Atmos, TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus. Setup is incredibly simple too. This is Sonos, remember, the firm that wrote the book on multi-room audio for your home. Our advice? If you've been considering the Arc for a little while now, this is the moment…
Sonos One smart speaker: was £199 now £159 at Amazon
This is a good deal on a Sonos staple. Looking to get into Sonos' wonderful world of multi-room audio? This is your gateway product, although it's a veritable sonic delight in its own right and with no other speakers to work with too. We've briefly seen it dip to a few pounds cheaper in the past (£147 at Amazon, in January 2020 to be precise) but we can't promise that'll happen this Black Friday… or ever, given this talented speaker's indomitable popularity…
Sonos One SL smart speaker: was £179 now £139 at Amazon
The same excellent little smart speaker, but why pay for voice assistant smarts if you don't want them – or you've already got a Sonos One and this one can be the 'slave' to the master, as it were? We've seen it £2 cheaper than this but no more – and considering how ubiquitous this excellent-sounding has become since then, this is a top price.
Sonos Sub (Gen 3): was £749 now £599 at Amazon
Something about this design with the hole in the middle and those push-push drivers either side though, isn't there? Also of serious note is the £150 saving, which is almost £100 cheaper than we've ever seen it across the big online retailers. Yes, there's now a newer Sub Mini in Sonos land, but come on, where subwoofers are concerned, bigger is better…
Sonos Roam SL Bluetooth speaker: was £159 now £119 at Currys
This is a portable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled speaker with impressive bass weight that seamlessly works with a full Sonos system as well as on the go. The 'SL' part means it has no mics and thus no built-in voice assistant support, although it'll tag along if you've got voice control elsewhere in your Sonos setup. And this £40 saving is a huge discount; we've never seen it quite so affordable before.
Sonos Roam portable speaker: was £179 now £134 at Amazon
When Sonos makes a truly portable speaker that not only plays nice with your multi-room audio setup but also brings Bluetooth the party, you know you're onto a winner. And although it might have seemed a little steep at its regular RRP, this money is far more palatable – and it's never been as cheap as this to date.
Sonos Beam (Gen 2) Dolby Atmos soundbar: was £449 now £349 at Amazon
The second-generation Sonos Beam soundbar launched in October 2021 and while we have seen a few discounts to date, this is £50 cheaper than we've ever seen it. For your money you're getting a compact, stylish soundbar with excellent integration with the wider Sonos ecosystem, and immersive virtual Atmos support.
Sonos Move portable speaker: was £399 now £319 at Sonos
OK, the deal is that you can't hang around on this one: November 28 is the day, for 24 sweet hours only. After that (or while stocks last) it'll be gone. You want a Sonos Move? Well you've got to, um… move! We've seen it briefly drop to £329 before, but this is £10 cheaper than even that, its lowest ever price, which is almost certainly why Sonos isn't running it for long…
