Beats headphones
Beats/CNET

Commuting, gym workouts and even just doing your daily chores can all be improved when you have a great pair of headphones. Good music and podcasts can help you get through less exciting tasks with ease. The market is filled with options, but the Beats Solo 4 are some of our favorites, and today is a great time to pick up a pair for yourself or as a gift for a loved one.

Walmart is offering its exclusive "drenched gray" Beats Solo 4 headphones for just $79 right now. The catch? We don't know how long the discount is going to last, so time is definitely of the essence. Order your new headphones soon to lock your $50 savings in.

Beats frequently tops our lists of best headphones and the Beats Solo 4 are equipped with improved drivers for high-quality audio. Their UltraPlush cushions are comfortable, which makes them perfect for use during long listening sessions or calls. These headphones are designed with better Bluetooth that prevents connection drops over longer distances than their predecessors. 

"Upgrades on the inside make the Solo 4 significantly better headphones than past versions," said CNET's headphone expert David Carnoy, who thought they were too pricey at $200 and recommended you wait till they went below $130. Lucky for you, they are way below that price right now. If you've got a music fan in your life, now would be a great time to pick these up.

The 50-hour battery life on these headphones is more than enough for long flights and full workdays. Need to make a work call or use voice control options? The Solo 4 has a built-in microphone. Whether you own iOS or Android devices, you'll be able to connect them easily (unlike Apple-branded headphones). It's also worth noting that Beats includes a 3.5mm wire if you'd rather not use Bluetooth. The Solo 4 headphones don't include active noise cancellation, but they do passively block out noises that can decrease your focus. 

Why this deal matters

Beats are some of the best headphones around, and that's true at full price. So being able to save 50% on these excellent headphones is a great opportunity. The deal likely won't last long, though.
