Looking for ‘buds with exceptional sound quality? Need earbuds for working out? Beats makes some of the best wireless earbuds out there. The company is owned by Apple, however, and that means Beats products have the same drawback as all Apple offerings: They’re expensive, and it can be hard to find discounts. But right now Amazon has slashed prices on a variety of Beats earbuds, with discounts of up to 43%. There’s no clear-cut expiration date on these deals, but discounts on ‘buds this popular rarely last for long.
