Apple today debuted a new promotion for some of its older Beats products, dropping prices by as much as $50 depending on the item.
The Beats Solo2 On-Ear Headphones in the Luxe line of colors are available for $149.95, a $50 discount off of the regular $199.95 price. Beats Solo2 Headphones are the previous-generation model without wireless connectivity and Apple's new W1 chip. All Luxe colors are discounted, including Red, Silver, Blue, and Black, but other Solo2 models are not available for a lower price.
Along with the two sets of headphones, Apple is also discounting its Beats Pill+ Portable Speaker, dropping the price from $229.95 to $199.95. The Pill+ is available in Red, Black, and White.
Apple does not say how long the discounts on its Beats products will last, so customers hoping to get a deal on a speaker or a set of headphones should purchase right away. Discounts are also available in Apple's retail stores.

Wondering if their wondering if $3,000,000,000 for beats was a good deal.
Why would they be wondering that? That purchase of Beats got them the 2nd most subscribed music streaming service and the most popular, most profitable headphones (still). By late 2018/early 2019, that deal should have more than paid for itself.
Personally, I think these products were over priced to Begin with, especially with the current competition on the market that offers similar performance for less.
