Anyone seen any good Beats headphone deals for Black Friday or Cyber Monday? Looking to spend under $200. Any links appreciated!
Regarding what #2 said about "Instead of Beats, check out Audio-Technica ATH-M50x. Sound..." he's right that they're a classic choice, but I've been super satisfied sticking with the Beats lineup for the convenience factor. Specifically, the Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones usually see huge cuts during the holidays. I'm a bit of a nerd about price tracking, so I'd suggest using CamelCamelCamel to check the price history on Amazon. It helps you see if a Black Friday deal is actually a deal or just marketing hype. Another resource I swear by is RTINGS. They do a methodical job of testing noise isolation and frequency response, which explains why people find the bass so punchy. Basically, if you want to stay under $200, you gotta use tools like Slickdeals to set alerts. I've done this for my last few pairs and never had complaints about the value. It works well if you're methodical about it... just set the alerts now so you dont miss the window when they go live.
Heard mixed things about Beats for in-car use. I switched to Sony WH-1000XM4s last year; noise cancelling is a game changer on road trips. Worth checking out if you find a deal.
Instead of Beats, check out Audio-Technica ATH-M50x. Sound is arguably better for the price. Black Friday might drop them below $150. Make sure to read reviews comparing sound profiles before you buy! They're not as bass-heavy, which some prefer. You might want to consider open-box deals too, but be careful and check return policies.
