It has only been a few months since Apple's Beats division unveiled the Beats Studio Pro, a long-overdue new set of noise-canceling headphones. While it took several years for Beats to update its over-ear headphones, consumers haven't had to wait nearly as long for a discount on the latest cans. The Beats Studio Pro has at Woot.

The Beats Studio Pro is a solid option for a set of over-ear wireless headphones. We gave the device . A big improvement to the sound quality from previous models is a major plus point, with a second-gen version of Beats' audio chip powering upgraded active noise cancellation, spatial audio and dynamic head tracking. We felt that the headphones delivered above average voice performance, while the addition of a transparency mode and USB-C wired audio for higher-resolution audio are certainly welcome.
