Black Friday Beats deals on earbuds and headphones are already arriving – in the US, some big discounts have actually been and gone already, but in the UK we've got some new lowest-ever prices going on. Don't worry that you've missed out if you're in the US, because I expect to see deals return when the Black Friday deals really ramp up this week.

The best Black Friday Beats deals right now include a good discount on the Solo 4 in the US, though I expect the Beats Studio Pro headphones will get a 50% discount again soon. In the UK, we've got lowest-ever prices on the Studio Pro and the new (and great) Beats Pill speaker, which are both very much worth checking out. With Black Friday itself on November 29th, I'm sure that more deals on the best Beats headphones are coming, too.

Right now, you can browse all the best deals live currently here, and we'll add any more offers we see as the retailers expand their sales.

Today's best Beats deals in the US

Beats Studio Buds
Beats Studio Buds: was $149.95 now $99.99 at Amazon

This have dropped to $89 before, so aren't quite their cheapest-ever price – it may be worth holding on to Black Friday if you can. But it's still a good price for buds with AirPods-like features when used with Apple gear, but also loads of features for Android, too. They sound good and the noise cancellation is useful, as we said in our Beats Studio Buds review.

Beats Studio Buds Plus

These are still the most advanced earbuds Beats offers, with smart features for both Apple and Android users, in a small and svelte design. They fell briefly to around $120 during 2023's sales season, so it may be worth waiting to see what happens later – but this is the lowest price we've seen them for otherwise.

Beats Solo 4 headphones
Beats Solo 4 headphones: was $199.95 now $129.99 at Amazon

These are Beats' newest headphones, and they keep the Solo spirit of being lightweight on-ear headphones, with plush earpads and a secure fit, even for exercise. They have smart features for both Android and iOS – including Personalized Spatial Audio for Apple fans, which works great. In our Beats Solo 4 review, we took issue with the high price, but this deal helps a lot with that!

Today's best Beats deals in the UK

Beats Studio Pro
Beats Studio Pro: was £349.99 now £199 at Amazon

This is the cheapest that Beat's latest and greatest over-ears have ever been, so is officially a Black Friday bargain. We like these headphones, but they struggled to justify their high price (read our full Beats Studio Pro review for more) – a price cut helps with that. If the lack of multipoint pairing (they do auto-switch with Apple devices, though) and wearer detection doesn't bother you, and you want that Beats style and comfort, this is a great deal.

Beats Studio Buds
Beats Studio Buds: was £159.99 now £89 at Amazon

These Beats buds have only even fallen £5 cheaper than this in the past, so it's close to being as good as it gets. It's a good price for earbuds with AirPods-like features when used with Apple gear, but that also have some good smart Android features. They sound solid, they're comfortable, and the noise cancellation is decent, as we said in our Beats Studio Buds review.

Beats Pill
Beats Pill: was £149.99 now £99 at Amazon

This is a great discount, and a record-low price, for Beats' recently released Bluetooth speaker. We really liked this in our Beats Pill review, and for under £100, it's seriously good value. It looks great, and it has really detailed and layered sound with rich and well-handled bass.

Beats Studio Buds Plus
Beats Studio Buds Plus: was £179.99 now £109 at Amazon

This is a record-low price for Beats most advanced non-fitness earbuds. Compared to the cheaper Studio Buds, you're getting strong sound quality and noise cancellation, plus spatial audio with Apple devices, which really enhances videos on particular. It's a good price for something with this many features, and a small and comfortable design.

Beats Fit Pro
Beats Fit Pro: was £219.99 now £139 at Amazon

We are big fans of these headphones, because they're great for working out, thanks to an incredibly stable fit, while still being light and reasonably small. In fact, we rate them as being among the best wireless earbuds for sports, giving them four stars in our Beats Fit Pro review. They have ANC and spatial audio for Apple, as well as smart features for Android. This isn't quite the cheapest they've been – they fell to £129 in 2023 – but it's pretty close.

Beats Solo 4 headphones
Beats Solo 4 headphones: was £199.95 now £169 at Amazon

Beat's latest headphones feature smart feature across both Android and iOS devices, as usual – and that includes Apple's Personalized Spatial Audio tech for the first time in a Solo product here. In our Beats Solo 4 review, we took issue with the high price, but I think this deal is still a little high-priced, but it's probably the best Beats deal in the UK at this time still, so I wanted to highlight it. I'd wait to see if these cans drop to about £129, though, as they have in the US.

Beats Solo Buds
Beats Solo Buds: was £79.99 now £49 at Amazon

Beats' newest earbuds offer a ridiculous 18 hours of continuous battery life from a single charge, and are its smallest and lightest earbuds ever. Now, you have to go without features like noise cancellation or any extra charge from the case, but it might be just what some people are looking for. This is the cheapest they've been to date.

I've covered Black Friday headphones and speaker deals for six years, and I've been writing about Beats products for well over a decade – and I've used most of the products on this page. Combine the two, plus my experience testing other earbuds and headphones, and I know what makes a good deal.

When will the Black Friday Beats deals start in 2024?

They're starting now in the US, with official sales events now live at the likes of Best Buy and Walmart – though as I mentioned at the top of this page, we've seen Beats deals come and go, so we're definitely not at full Black Friday power. Still, some tempting deals remain, and no doubt we'll see further discounts closer to Black Friday's official date of November 29th.

In the UK, the deals have not arrived really at all, even though retailers including Currys and John Lewis have launched their Black Friday sales officially. I'm certain that big deals will come, but clearly we'll have to wait – perhaps until the week of Black Friday, though I'd expect them to arrive before that. Currys and Argos both have an offer to tempt you to buy any early deals that do arrive, by promising to refund the difference if you buy an early discount and then the price drops further on Black Friday itself.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy Beats headphones?

Yes, we would usually expect to see record-low prices on Beats headphones during Black Friday – and especially this year, because several of the products are a few years old now, and we're expecting new models before too long.

We might only see prices from $10 lower than they've been before, but hey – that's $10 you'll be proud to keep by buying smart.

What Black Friday Beats deals should I expect?

Honestly, expect them on absolutely everything. Beats has very much become a sales-happy company, with some of its products getting 30-50% discounts just weeks after they launch.

You've already seen above that there were deals for 50% off the Beats Studio Pro headphones, and I'm certain the Beats Studio Buds will fall to another record-low price.

Expect deals on the Beats Pill speaker, too – there are some small discounts now, but we expect bigger deals to come, and we really liked that speaker even at full price. Read our full Beats Pill review for more, and then keep your eyes peeled.
