The Beats Studio Buds+ are down to $99.95, a $70 saving off their $169.95 list price, and that gets you true wireless noise canceling, spatial audio, and sweat resistance at a price that most competing earbuds with this feature set can’t touch. For anyone using an iPhone or an Android device, these cover the bases better than most things at this price.

What you’re getting

The Studio Buds+ improved on the original Studio Buds in two meaningful ways: better ANC performance and the addition of spatial audio, which delivers a more immersive, three-dimensional listening experience on compatible content. The noise-canceling handles commuting and office environments well, and transparency mode is responsive enough to actually use when you need to stay aware of your surroundings.

What sets the Studio Buds+ apart from most earbuds at this price is the cross-platform compatibility. They pair seamlessly with iPhone through the Apple ecosystem while offering full Android integration through the Beats app, one-touch Google Assistant access, and Find My Device support. Most earbuds at this price favor one platform at the expense of the other; the Studio Buds+ don’t make that compromise.

The built-in microphone handles calls clearly, the IPX4 sweat resistance makes them a practical gym companion, and the compact charging case keeps the overall package travel-friendly.

Why it’s worth it

Spatial audio and ANC together in a wireless earbud typically push the price well above $100. The Beats Studio Buds+ at $99.95 bring both to a price point where the decision becomes considerably easier, particularly for anyone who switches regularly between Apple and Android devices and doesn’t want to sacrifice features to do so.

The bottom line

The Beats Studio Buds+ at $99.95 are a well-rounded wireless earbud at a price that makes the feature set look considerably more expensive than it is. The ANC, spatial audio, and genuine dual-platform compatibility add up to an earbud that’s difficult to beat at this price, and the $70 saving makes it the right time to pick them up.

According to Reuters, the city is using electronic bracelets as part of a €400 million support scheme for older residents. The program, backed by EU post-COVID funding, currently covers about 700 people.

Samsung Galaxy Watch

That’s why the latest Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 leak immediately caught my attention. But after reading through it, I couldn’t shake one nagging thought: all these upgrades probably won’t come cheap.

There are already plenty of mental-health chatbots online, but they all run into the same problem. The user still has to reach out first. That is not always easy when someone is stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or simply unsure how to put their feelings into words.

Researchers at the University of Ottawa are working on a different kind of AI assistant. It is designed to read emotional cues in real time through signals from devices people already use, including smartwatches, smartphones, and earbuds.
