By comparison, it undercuts Amazon's current price for the Solo Buds in Black, Storm Gray, and Transparent Red color schemes by $10. It's also $30 cheaper than Beats' direct price for the same Arctic Purple Solo Buds.

I track sales all year round, and this is one of the best headphone deals I've seen outside of the holidays.

Though we didn't test them, our sister brand TechRadar rated the Beats Solo Buds 3.5 out of 5 stars in their review. They liked the earbuds' 18-hour battery life, compact design, and comfortable fit.

If the lack of active noise-cancellation and water resistance aren's deal breakers for you, the Beats Solo Buds are a budget-friendly choice.
