Currently, as I write this very article, there’s a jackhammer outside my window drilling away, and all I can think is: Why don’t I own noise-canceling headphones? Seriously, how is anyone working from home without them, especially if you, too, live near construction or have neighbors who love leaf-blowing or have kids running around? In great news, these Beats Solo Pro Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones are over 30% off on Amazon today—an amazing deal you should act on ASAP.
Look, you could buy any old headphones for dirt cheap. But odds are, because of the pandemic, you’re stuck at home on Zoom all day and could really use the serenity of high-quality sound. For calls, workouts, favorite music, bingeing shows, traveling, all of it, these Solo Pros will do the trick. We’ve raved about Beats before (earbuds included); our SELF senior manager Cheryl Carlin calls her Beats headphones her “tune-out” splurge, noting their amazing audio, comfy foam ear pads, the useful ability to pair them to more than one device, and how they’re ideal for cutting down on noise. “With them on,” she writes, “vacation is really just a state of mind.”
The Solo Pros are as sleek and stylish as the rest of the Beats family. With them, you have the option of turning on optimal noise cancellation, as well as the transparency setting, which reduces audible annoyances while still carefully filtering in ambient noise so that you’re not left totally unaware of your surroundings (useful if you, say, go on a walk with any sort of traffic). They’re sweat- and water-resistant, handily fold up for easy transport, and boast up to 22 hours of battery life (or 40, even, if you skip on the noise cancellation and transparency). And if you’re caught low on battery while out and about, the headphones come with a lightning cable which add another three hours of play time (and only require 10 minutes of fast-fuel charging in a single session).
Regularly $299, the Solo Pros in dark blue, light blue, and red are discounted to $199 for a short time, so treat yourself to peace, quiet, and clear sound.
