Latest Beats Solo Buds with 18-hour battery and ultra-mini case now starting at $53 (34% off)

Reg. $80/$53

Amazon is giving folks another shot to save some cash on the latest Beats Solo Buds today as the Matte Black set has now dropped down to $53 shipped. That’s 34% off the regular $80 price tag, within $3 off the all-time low, and the best we can find. You will find the Transparent Red and Storm Grey sets down at $59.99 shipped. 

Today’s deal on the Matte Black set comes within $3 of the all-time low – all three sets dropped down to $50 for Black Friday last year and for a quick stint last month. 

While many folks might be awaiting the first price drop on the brand new Powerbeats Pro 2 – we have already detailed how to score a deal with a trade-in and here’s our hands-on review – after getting a chance to go hands-on with the Solo Buds at launch we said they are “one of the most intriguing new products from Beats in a long time.”  

The Beats Solo Buds aren’t the most high-end and feature-rich sets of in-ears out there, nor would they be at a price like this, but they do have some standout specs to take note of. Firstly, you’ll find an ultra-compact charging case here alongside some serious battery life. They sport 18 hours of runtime in the buds alone, no charging case needed – in fact, the case is really just a conduit to juice them back up over USB-C as it does not have a battery at all. But with 18 hours in the buds alone, most folks will be more than covered here anyway – there’s also the usual 5-minute quick charge that nets you an extra hour of listening. 

The “seamless one-touch pairing” on iOS and Android is in place alongside custom-designed microphones with “advanced noise-learning algorithm for exceptional call quality” and the usual Class 1 Bluetooth. 

Beats Solo Buds features:

• Up to 18 hours of battery life. Fast Fuel, a 5-minute charge, gives up to 1 hour of playback. POWER ADAPTER AND USB-C CHARGING CABLE SOLD SEPARATELY.
• Custom acoustic architecture for big Beats sound with full range and clarity.
• The smallest case we’ve ever made, making these powerful earbuds the perfect on-the-go companion.
• Dual-layer drivers minimize distortion, ensuring high-fidelity sound.
• Purposefully positioned axial-aligned drivers deliver sound directly to your ears.
• Laser-cut vents further improve audio performance while relieving pressure for added comfort.
• Charge directly from your phone, tablet or laptop for extra power on the go.
