There are plenty of reasons to treat yourself to a new pair of noise-canceling earbuds. Whether you're looking to block out a noisy office or just want to enjoy a good audiobook on your commute, there is no shortage of options. While the Beats Studio Buds are a solid option at a competitive price, this deal makes them impossible to ignore. Order now and you'll get your new wireless earbuds for just $80 at Amazon, a price that's a match for the lowest we've ever seen them go. Act fast though, we don't expect it to last for long. The good news? The same $80 price is being matched at both Walmart and Best Buy right now, too.

Beats Studio Buds are small, lightweight, comfortable to wear and fit most ears securely. Despite being made by Apple these days, Beats products work great with both iPhones and Android phones, and there are plenty of features to love, including quick pairing. CNET's David Carnoy said their sound quality beats out AirPods Pro and Powerbeats Pro in his Beats Studio Buds review.

Unlike some other Apple-made Beats products, the Studio Buds lack a few of the fancier features including in-ear detection and the ability to pair to all of your Apple devices via iCloud and switch between them automatically. That probably won't be a deal-breaker for most folks, though, especially given the price difference between the Studio Buds and something like the AirPods Pro. Plus, they still support a few crucial features like active noise cancellation and spatial audio.

The Beats Studio Buds provide up to eight hours of listening time on a single charge, with up to 24 hours when combined with the charging case. They're also IPX4-rated, making them sweat- and water-resistant, so they're a solid option to use on your commute or at the gym.

These also make for great holiday gifts. But if the Studio Buds aren't quite the right fit for you, you can also check out our full roundup of all the best headphone deals happening right now.

Will this item arrive in time for Christmas?

If you're ordering this as a holiday gift, you probably want to know if it's going to arrive on time. With Christmas and Hanukkah both taking place on Dec. 25 this year, and Kwanzaa kicking off the day after, it's important to note shipping deadlines for USPS, FedEx, UPS, Amazon and others.

Guaranteed shipping deadlines at some of these delivery companies arrive as soon as Dec. 16, with others offering expedited services that may allow you to order as late as Dec. 23 or even Dec. 24. Where delivery is no longer possible, be sure to assess your in-store pickup options or check out these great digital deals for the holidays. 

Your new Beats Studio Buds will arrive before Christmas, according to shipping timelines provided by Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy. Pickup options are also available at the latter two.
