If you’re looking for a set of clean, chic over-ear headphones that are also impressive value for money, there’s an extra special deal on right now. And by extra-special, I mean that the Beats Studio Pro are a massive 57% off at Amazon – a deal that sees them drop to just £149 (was £349.99).

Yes, it's a massive discount and yes, it's a return to their lowest ever price tag.

• Shop Amazon's full early Black Friday sale

Before dropping to this price for 24 hours in April of this year, the lowest I'd seen the Beats Studio Pro drop is to £179, so an extra £30 off is a rare treat – and this time it's part of Amazon's early Black Friday savings so should stick around a little longer. But not forever, if you know what I'm saying.

We’ve spent a lot of time with the Beats Studio Pro, and while they aren’t worthy of the title of best wireless headphones, they are very appealing at this low price – which is the joint-lowest they've ever been. These cans provide Beats’ custom acoustic platform with rich and immersive sound, lossless audio via USB-C, and some excellent active noise cancellation. What we're saying is, all the essentials are here.

Not the set of cans you're after for Black Friday? That's OK, I've also curated a list of the only headphones and earbuds deals you should consider this Black Friday. Have at it – I made it for you.

Not looking for headphones this Black Friday and wondering how you ended up here? That's OK. TechRadar's more general (but still human-curated, and still only containing deals our experts love) Black Friday deals roundup will help. Otherwise, scroll for the deal – and remember to enjoy the music.

Amazon's outstanding early Black Friday Beats Studio Pro deal

In our Beats Studio Pro review, our writer Jen Allen was conflicted at the full price of £349.99. Expensive. That said, she remarked at their “gorgeous looking” design and “good sound quality”, and while the Beats Studio Pro lacked a few things she liked to see in premium headphones (there's no multipoint support for iOS and wear detection, for example) when they’re this heavily discounted, we can forgive that – few headphones at the sub-£150 level boast those kinds of perks.

They’re every inch the cans you want to love, thanks to their winsome looks, convenience and Apple-centric features and honestly, at this price, the Beats Studio Pro feel more appealing for anyone considering some of the best noise-cancelling headphones but looking to keep costs down.

Our writer says she still finds herself reaching for the Beats Studio Pro even if they do lack the finer details that pricier cans provide, which is a huge endorsement when testing headphones is literally our job, day in, day out. (I know, tough gig, right?)

Other Black Friday headphones deals to consider

Hold on just a half-second, friend!

Maybe before you click 'buy now', in that virtual shopping cart you might want to look at a couple of other early Black Friday headphones deals. So I've rounded up the best I've seen, right here.

If it's not listed below, I don't rate the deal – it's just how we are at TechRadar. My pick of the bunch? I'd go for the Sony WH-1000XM4 which are also reduced to £149. They're iconic – a modern classic – and the sound quality is excellent for the money. To wear them is to state that you know good headphones. But that's just me…
