Walmart is making a break for it and kicking off Black Friday deals early. Starting at 5 p.m. ET today, Nov. 11, shoppers can start taking advantage of season-best pricing -- and Walmart Plus members can get a jump on the crowds with early access now underway. There are loads of great deals, but if you're looking to get some new headphones, then you'll want to go for the Beats Solo 3, which are currently at a new low price of just $69. These are still excellent headphones, even if the new Beats Solo 4 headphones were released earlier this year. 

The Beats Solo 3 headphones are an on-ear model with approximately 40 hours of battery life, so you can go all day without worrying about having to charge them. It also features the Apple W1 chip, which makes pairing with Apple products incredibly easy for those already in the Apple ecosystem. These headphones can also be used for phone calls with a built-in mic.

With those on their way to you now, whether it's for yourself or someone you love, it's worth having a look at our breakdown of the best tech gifts. We've got a huge list of what's worth buying, so check it out.

Are these the best Beats headphones?

The Beats Solo 4 headphones were released earlier this year, and are technically better than the Beats Solo 3 with improved sound quality, battery life and voice-calling. That's not to say the Solo 3s are bad. If your main aim is a nice balance between affordability and quality, then this deal shouldn't be missed.

Will these be on sale again this year?

Given that this is a new low in terms of price for the Beats 3 Solo headphones, we'd be shocked to see them go any lower in 2024, even if they do get put on sale again closer to Black Friday proper. What we're more likely to see is this deal being matched at other retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy.
