David Carnoy/CNET

If you're like me, you rely on wireless headphones every day -- while working out, walking the dog, and listening to music or a podcast while working or doing housework. If you're searching for an affordable, reliable pair of earbuds for Cyber Monday, here's a deal you cannot miss: The Beats Solo Buds are on sale for just $50, the lowest price they've ever been. 

These wireless Bluetooth earbuds offer 18 hours of battery life with both Apple and Android compatibility. The Solo Buds are 38% off in all three colors -- transparent red, storm gray and matte black. There's no listed expiration date on this deal, so grab it while you can.

Why this deal matters 

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. 

While certain features are missing from the Solo Buds, such as ear-detection sensors and active noise canceling, the headphones hit the mark for sound quality, lightweight design and battery life. The Solo Buds also provide good voice-calling performance that rivals the more expensive Studio Buds Plus.

For just $50, you can score quality sound range and clarity typical of all Beats products. The Solo Buds also make a great gift for any audiophile or music-lover in your life.
