Amazon discounts on the Beats Solo 3 wireless and Bose SoundLink headphones makes it easier to snag a pair of the best handphones in the market. We’re not exactly sure what’s going on, and whether these great sales on the Beats Solo3 headphones are a sign that Apple is preparing a new version, but we do know that Amazon has cut prices again. The Bose Solo 3 wireless headphones in either Gloss or Matte black and Citrus Red is only $150, a 50% savings over retail.

As far as we can tell, this is close to the cheapest that the Solo3’s have been on the site outside of daily deal sales. With so many color options already sold out, supplies of the remaining three colors for the Beats Solo are likely quite limited. If you’re interested, your best bet is to act now rather than wait for an even better sale which may not come. And if you’re looking for more headphone deals from Amazon, these Bose SoundLink headphones are $50 less at Amazon.

While the Solo3’s have been out for a long time, they still are a decent pair of headphones (and especially at this price). Apple’s W1 chip has given the latest Solo headphones an impressive 40-hour battery life while adding Siri support for voice control. Sound quality is acceptable, but it struggles with mids and highs. But bass response is what Beats have long been known for, and we think hip-hop and electronic music enthusiasts will appreciate Solo3’s the most.

If you don’t mind spending a little more, we have another good option on Amazon on a pair of Bose wireless headphones, which are currently on sale. The Bose SoundLink headphones hace been marked down from $279 to $229, saving you $50. Unlike the Solo3’s, the SoundLinks do much better in the mids and highs, while still producing punchy bass much like the Solo3’s.

The only bad thing about these headphones is that, for the higher quality sound you’re trading off a fair bit of battery life. The SoundLinks have about 15 hours of battery life per charge, less than half of that of the Solo3’s. Whether this is an acceptable trade-off is up to you, but for those most concerned with sound quality, Bose’s line of headphones are a much better option, in our opinion.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra's case and screen.

Samsung’s upcoming smartwatches may have another couple of meaningful upgrades hiding up their sleeves. Newly leaked promotional images suggest the smaller Galaxy Watch 9 will receive a much larger battery than previously reported, while the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 could finally be certified for recreational diving.

The images were shared by an X account using the @evleaks handle, although the prominent leaker Evan Blass has previously said the account does not belong to him. They appear to be official Samsung marketing materials and reveal a few details that were missing from earlier specification leaks.

Bose’s next QuietComfort headphones could steal the Ultra’s best features
Bose QuietComfort deal

For the last few years, Bose has been in a slightly awkward position. Its standard QuietComfort headphones have remained an easy recommendation, but they've also felt a little... forgotten. While the Ultra lineup grabbed the spotlight with new features and a refreshed design, the regular QuietComfort stayed the same. That may finally be about to change.

A new leak suggests Bose is preparing a QuietComfort (2nd Gen) model, and if it's accurate, this looks like Bose bringing its mainstream headphones much closer to its premium offering.
