The Beats Studio Buds+ are now available for $99, and I would suggest them as the go-to wireless earbuds for both iPhone and Android users.

      Beats Studio Buds+ have dropped to $99.95 (a 41% discount): featuring ANC, spatial audio, compatible with Apple and Android.

      The Beats Studio Buds+ are now available for $99.95, offering a $70 discount from their original price of $169.95. This price includes true wireless noise cancellation, spatial audio, and sweat resistance, making it difficult for most competing earbuds with similar features to match. For users of both iPhone and Android devices, these earbuds provide a level of compatibility that is hard to beat in this price range.

      What you’ll get

      The Studio Buds+ have enhanced the original Studio Buds in two significant ways: improved ANC performance and the inclusion of spatial audio that offers a richer, three-dimensional listening experience for compatible content. The noise cancellation is effective for commuting and office settings, and the transparency mode is responsive enough for when you need to remain aware of your surroundings.

      What distinguishes the Studio Buds+ from most earbuds in this price bracket is their cross-platform compatibility. They connect effortlessly with iPhones through the Apple ecosystem while fully integrating with Android devices via the Beats app, providing one-touch access to Google Assistant and supporting Find My Device. Many earbuds at this price typically cater to one platform over the other; the Studio Buds+ avoid this trade-off.

      The integrated microphone ensures clear calls, the IPX4 sweat resistance makes them suitable for gym use, and the compact charging case enhances their travel-friendliness.

      Why it's a good deal

      Combining spatial audio and ANC in wireless earbuds typically elevates the price above $100. However, the Beats Studio Buds+ at $99.95 offer both features at a more approachable price, particularly appealing for anyone who frequently switches between Apple and Android devices without wanting to give up functionality.

      The conclusion

      The Beats Studio Buds+ at $99.95 are a well-rounded pair of wireless earbuds that present a feature set that seems much more expensive than it is. With ANC, spatial audio, and true dual-platform compatibility, they stand out as a great value at this price, and the $70 discount makes it an ideal time to purchase them.

      Next-gen contact lenses aim for futuristic eye-tracking without expensive gear

      This innovative approach transforms everyday devices into precise gaze trackers without needing sensors or batteries

      Traditionally, eye tracking required costly hardware, infrared sensors, and controlled environments. This may soon change, as a new smart contact lens system seeks to provide accurate tracking using the cameras you already utilize daily. XPANCEO is working on a passive design that incorporates microscopic patterns into contact lenses, making them optical markers interpretable by built-in cameras on laptops, phones, cars, and helmets. The transition is straightforward – no additional hardware or power is needed for operation.
