They might not have the ubiquitous white shells of their Apple stablemates, but the Beats line of headphones is just as instantly memorable thanks to their eye catching colors and slick designs. They all present as solid alternatives to the AirPods line as well, with loads of different options depending on what you're looking for out of a pair of headphones.

Now, over Prime Day, it's just become a whole lot easier to get your hands on a pair as a large portion of the range is reduced in price dramatically. In one case, there's a price that takes them under half price, and makes for the most solid purchase case we've ever seen. From the Studio Pro to the Studio Buds, there are plenty of reasons to buy a pair of Beats — and they just became a whole lot easier to recommend.

While all the Beats have been reduced, so too have the entire line of Apple's AirPods line. They offer a different look and feel to the Beats headphones, going for a more subdued look and with less emphasis on the lower end of the sound spectrum.
