The Beats Solo 4 headphones are on sale for their best price to date

We wanted ANC, but this price drop will do.

Apple peppered in more meaningful quality-of-life changes, too, such as lossless audio over USB-C or 3.5mm (which doesn’t degrade when the generous 50-hour battery dies), built-in Find My support, and added comfort. It’s still somewhat of a downer that Apple neglected to add water resistance and active noise cancellation, but it’s a little more forgivable at this price, and they can still naturally block a decent bit of sound with their slightly cushier ear cups. The app lets you monitor energy use and manage automatic schedules and timers, and it offers ubiquitous voice control with support for Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri (via Apple Home).
