Why this deal mattersÂ
The Solo Buds (usually $80) are no-nonsense and basic, but they sound good and are the least expensive true-wireless buds sold by Apple. The earbuds don't have a battery in the case, and a power adapter and USB-C charging cable are sold separately. You likely already have compatible chargers if you own other Apple or Beats products.Â
