About this time last year, I was preparing to hop on a 6+ hour flight and thought it was high time to invest in a new pair of headphones. The ones I had, while handy, weren’t cutting it. And I was looking for a pair with Active Noise Cancellation;

Pro-level noise cancellation, amazing battery life, deep bass, and supreme comfort make these among the best $249 headphones anywhere.

Amazon has slashed the price of the Beats Studio Buds. You get active noise canceling, sweat resistance and up to eight hours of listening time, or 24 hours when combined with the pocket-sized charging case. Our Beats Studio Buds review called these "a small but feature-stuffed set of wireless earbuds."
