Save nearly 50% while the Beats Studio Pro headphones are at $180
We've been seeing some great wireless headphone deals lately, and here Beats is stepping up with some savings. The Beats Studio Pro are the brand's premium offering, regularly going for $350. This deal knocks the Studio Pro down to $180 across retailers, however, which is nearly 50% off. They're available in a wide variety of colors at this price, though you will likely want to act quickly to claim this savings. This is a pretty massive discount, and Beats isn't likely to let it stick around for long. Audio features are the name of the game with the Studio Pro, as Beats holds nothing back with these premium wireless headphones. One of the standout features is Personalized Spatial Audio. This utilizes the position of your head to create a 360-degree listening environment that adapts to your movements in real-time. Spatial Audio is an awesome technology if you want to get absorbed in movies, and when you listen to music it makes you feel like the band is right in the room with you. The overall sound of the Studio Pro is punchy but balanced. These are the kind of headphones you can find in edit bays and mixing studios, so you'll be getting some professional quality along with affordability. Beats puts its most advanced acoustic engineering into the Studio Pro, and you can even listen to lossless audio if you want to plugin via the USB-C port. The Studio Pro can reach up to 40 hours of playback between charges, with up to 24 hours available while ANC is turned on. If you happen to run them dry while you're out and about, you won't have to hang around an outlet for too long, as the Studio Pro can get four hours of life out of just 10 minutes of charge time. They're compatible with both Android and iOS devices, as well as any other device that utilizes Bluetooth connectivity. The Beats Studio Pro regularly go for $350, but while this deal lasts we can't recommend them enough. You can get the Studio Pro headphones for just $180 across retailers, which is one of their lowest prices to-date.

JBL's Summit Series of speakers has 3 new models
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. JBL has launched three new pairs of high-end speakers in its flagship Summit Series: Makalu, Pumori and Ama. Appropriately launching at High End Munich 2025, these join the existing Everest and the five-star K2 speakers. Like their forebears, each speaker is named after a Himalayan peak. And each promises a suitably large-scale performance, with heavily-braced cabinets, binding posts wrapped in carbon fibre and plated in rhodium. They also boast JBL's MultiCap crossover network, which promises to maintain purity and performance throughout the audio chain, and JBL IsoAcoustics adjustable isolation feet. Let's go climbing. The top of the range of is Summit Makalu, named after the world's fifth-highest mountain that's just 12 miles from Everest (the mountain, not the JBL speaker). A three-way floorstander, the Makalu is designed to "anchor large, immersive listening spaces with deep, articulate bass and soaring midrange detail", according to JBL. Inside are a 12-inch subwoofer and an 8-inch midrange driver that both use JBL's proprietary HC4 composite cones, alongside JBL's patented D2 compression driver and precision-moulded HDI Sonoglass horn, promising "stunning dynamics and crystal-clear imaging". It also promises to be a looker, with a contoured cabinet with a rich ebony veneer and gold accents or high-gloss piano black with platinum detailing. Summit Makalu cost £36,998 / $44,995 (around AU$77,000) per pair. Mount Pumori on the Nepal-China border is known as the daughter of Everest. Its namesake is another three-way floorstander whose speciality is musical balance and purity. It boasts a 10-inch woofer and an 8-inch midrange driver, along with the same D2 compression driver and HDI horn architecture as the Summit Makalu. It also has a softly contoured cabinet with luxurious finishes. Summit Pumori cost £26,998 / $29,995 (around AU$56,000) per pair. Ama Dablam is one of the Himalayas' most iconic and picturesque peaks – its name translates as 'Mother's Necklace'. The Summit Ama speaker is a two-way standmount that's more compact than its stablemates. It offers an 8-inch HC4 cone woofer, D2 compression driver and HDI horn, and promises "exceptional clarity, control, and coherence across the frequency spectrum". It comes with a matching steel-and-aluminium stand. Including stands, they cost £14,998 / $19,995 (around AU$31,000) per pair. Still, that's cheaper than the K2 speakers, which cost a cool £44,000 when we reviewed them back in 2017. We considered them one of the best speakers money can buy, praising their "spellbinding combination of dynamics, insight and finesse". Let's hope the new trio live up to such grand heights.
