The Beats Studio Buds+ have been around long enough to feel familiar, but this current deal adds a layer that makes them worth a second look. Right now, they’re bundled with two years of AppleCare+ and listed at $108.95 (down from $198.95); price trackers show this is the lowest this bundle has ever been. Wireless earbuds are easy to misplace, drop, or wear down over time. AppleCare+ extends repair coverage and adds accidental damage protection, which can save you from paying full replacement costs if something goes wrong. For a product that lives in your pocket or gym bag, that safety net has real value. Plus, they carry an IPX4 rating, so sweat or a bit of rain is not a concern.

The Studio Buds+ are a refinement over the older Studio Buds, and the upgrades show up in small but noticeable ways—battery life now stretches to nine hours on a single charge, with the case pushing the total to 36 hours. That means you can go several days without reaching for a charger. The active noise cancellation is also stronger this time, especially for steady background sounds like traffic or a gym environment. It will not block everything, but it does enough to make podcasts and music easier to focus on. Call quality is another area that sees a bump, with microphones that do a better job isolating your voice in busy surroundings, notes this “excellent” PCMag review.

These earbuds also don’t lock you into one type of phone/ecosystem. Apple users get quick pairing and seamless switching, while Android users get support for Google Fast Pair and a dedicated app for controls and updates. You can customize tap functions, switch between noise modes, and even track a misplaced pair. That flexibility makes them easier to recommend across different devices. The main limitation is that while the noise cancellation is strong for the price, it does not match premium models that cost significantly more. Still, at this price, with solid battery life, reliable call performance, and added AppleCare+ coverage, the Studio Buds+ make a great choice for anyone who wants a solid everyday pair of earbuds without spending top-tier money.
