Update: Ahead of Black Friday, Amazon slashed the price of the Beats Studio 3 headphones to £199. That was a great price considering we gave them four starts at £300 – but now Amazon has cut an extra £10 off making them even more of a steal. You can get them for just £179 – and if that sounds like too much in one go, Amazon will also let you buy them for five monthly payments of £35.80.

As we wrote before, if you opt for a purchase, you’ll be getting a fine set of cans with active noise cancellation and Apple’s W1 Bluetooth chip. The latter makes it exceptionally easy to pair with an Apple device, all with the touch of a button.

“Along with seamless Bluetooth pairing, the Studio 3 Wireless has a couple of neat tricks up its sleeves,” writes head of reviews Jonathan Bray in his four-star review . “The extra power provided by the W1 chip means the headphones can add an extra layer of processing, meaning noise cancelling should be ultra-effective. There’s also what Beats calls ‘leak protection’, whereby the internal microphones are used to compensate for those times when the earpads can’t create an airtight seal around your ears - when you twist your neck to look behind you, for instance.”

For owners of Apple devices, the Beats Studio 3 headphones are a great match. If you fancy shopping around, though, check out our collection of the best current deals on headphones .
