Beats Powerbeats Fit Drop to $170 on Amazon as Best Buy Offers $96 Open-Box

Discounted pricing broadens appeal to workout buyers wary of long-term software support.

Overview

  • Amazon cut the price to about $169.95 to $169.99 across all colors on Wednesday, marking an all-time low there for some shades like Black and Gravel.
  • Best Buy lists the black set in excellent open-box condition for $95.99, with Geek Squad verification, all parts included, restored settings, and a 1-year warranty.
  • The earbuds target workouts with secure-fit wingtips, Active Noise Cancelling, a Transparency mode, and IPX4 sweat and water resistance.
  • Battery life reaches up to 30 hours with the case and up to 7 hours per bud, and a 5‑minute top-up adds about an hour of playback.
  • A Mashable review praised sound, fit, and noise cancellation but noted the older Apple H1 chip may block newer features added by software later.
