Apple
rarely
discounts
its
own
products,
which
is
why
I
was
pleasantly
surprised
to
find
Apple
welcoming
the
weekend
with
some
terrific
deals
on
Beats
headphones
and
earbuds.
Both
the
Beats
Studio
Pro
and
Beats
Studio
Buds
Plus
are
down
to
some
of
their
best
prices
to
date,
with
numerous
third-party
retailers
matching
Apple’s
pricing.
That
means
you
can
pick
up
the
Beats
Studio
Pro
for
$199.95
($150
off)
directly
from
Apple,
or
at
Amazon
and
Best
Buy
for
around
the
same
price.
The
Beats
Studio
Buds
Plus,
meanwhile,
can
be
had
starting
at
$129.95
($40
off)
from
Apple,
Amazon,
and
Best
Buy.
Compared
to
Apple’s
AirPods
lineup,
the
Studio
Pro
and
Studio
Buds
Plus
offer
more
flexibility,
with
native
support
for
both
iOS
and
Android
software
features.
The
Studio
Pro
are
also
Apple’s
first
over-ear
headphones
to
support
lossless
audio
over
USB-C,
while
the
Studio
Buds
Plus
arrive
in
multiple
colors
—
including
a
see-through
option
that’s
more
eye-catching
than
any
AirPods
model
to
date.
Both
fall
short
of
the
AirPods
Max
and
second-gen
AirPods
Pro
when
it
comes
to
noise
cancellation
and
transparency
modes,
however,
and
you
do
lose
out
on
some
iOS
tricks,
including
audio
sharing.
Still,
both
deliver
better
sound,
ANC,
and
battery
life
than
the
prior
models,
making
them
a
worthwhile
upgrade
overall.
The
new
Beats
Studio
Pro
feature
improved
noise
cancellation,
sound
quality,
and
comfort.
They
also
support
lossless
audio
over
USB-C,
making
them
the
first
Apple
headphones
to
do
so.

If
you’re
planning
on
traveling
over
spring
break,
buying
a
Bluetooth
tracker
to
keep
tabs
on
your
luggage
can
provide
some
extra
peace
of
mind.
And
right
now,
one
of
our
favorite
models
—
Eufy’s
SmartTrack
Card —
is
down
to
an
all-time
low
of
$16.99
($13
off)
at
Amazon
and
B&H
Photo.
Eufy’s
location
trackers
are
good
options
for
iOS
users
looking
for
a
cheaper
AirTag-alternative.
That’s
because
they’re
also
compatible
with
Apple’s
extensive
Find
My
network,
which
allows
for
impressively
precise
tracking
along
with
support
for
unwanted
tracking
alerts.
The
biggest
difference
between
Eufy’s
trackers
and
Apple’s
is
that
they’re
credit
card-shaped,
so
you
can
easily
slip
them
into
your
wallet
or
passport
holder.
Sadly,
they
don’t
sport
user-replaceable
batteries,
but
they
do
come
with
a
small
and
handy
clip
attachment,
so
you
can
attach
them
to
your
laptop
and
other
valuables.
The
Eufy
Security
SmartTrack
Card
works
with
Apple’s
Find
My
network,
comes
with
a
clip,
lets
you
know
when
you’ve
left
it
behind,
and
can
ring
your
phone
even
if
it’s
in
silent
mode.
