Best deals on headphones and earbuds to hear your surroundings
Headphones: The Beats Studio Pro are Beats’ flagship product and their most expensive headphone. They have a powerful sound and are very comfortable. They are on this list because they have spatial audio that uses head tracking so you know which direction the sound around you is coming from. This is a great feature for those who commute on their bikes, run or walk around busy areas. You can also hear the people around you without taking off your headphones. Currently, they have hit their lowest price yet, per Camelcamelcamel’s price history, with a 51% discount currently at $169.99 (originally $349.99). This is one of the best headphone deals I’ve seen so far. You can read the full PCMag review here.

A direct competitor of the Galaxy Buds Pro 2 is the Status Between 3ANC. I’ve been using mine for about two months, and they are my go-to pair for most activities. They have one of the most clear sounds I’ve heard from a pair of earbuds, with the ability to fully customize the EQ. They also have active noise-canceling, ambient sound to hear your surroundings and give you many ear-tip options to find the best fit for you. They are currently $139 (originally $249.99).
