If you appreciate the seamless integration of AirPods with iPhones but crave more vibrant and versatile options, the Beats Studio Buds Plus offer a compelling alternative. These earbuds are designed to work across various platforms and are available for just $99.95—a substantial $70 discount—at popular retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart during Presidents Day. This deal includes the striking translucent variant and brings the price close to its all-time low.

Unlike Apple’s AirPods, the Beats Studio Buds Plus are compatible with both iOS and Android devices, making them a top pick among wireless earbuds. While you won’t get every unique feature from each ecosystem, you’ll enjoy many key functionalities. iPhone users benefit from hands-free Siri, Find My support, simple one-step pairing, and Control Center integration. Although features such as automatic device switching and spatial audio head-tracking are exclusive to AirPods, Android users gain native compatibility with Google’s Find My Device, Fast Pair, and audio switching capabilities.

Beyond software advantages, the Beats Studio Buds Plus deliver impressive sound quality and effective noise cancellation—even if they don’t quite match the AirPods Pro in this regard. These compact wireless earbuds are also among the most comfortable available, featuring four interchangeable ear tips for a snug fit. While they lack wireless charging, they offer up to 9 hours of listening time on a single charge, extending to a total of 27 hours with the charging case. Furthermore, with an IPX4 rating, they provide resistance against sweat and light rain, making them ideal for active use.
