Beats Flex are earbuds with a wire between them, and they come in blue, black, yellow, and gray. Apple first introduced Beats Flex in October 2020 with a $50 price point, but prices went up in September due to rising component costs. Beats Flex are now back at their original pre-increase price.

Apple has also dropped the price of the Beats Studio Buds and the Powerbeats Pro. Beats Studio Buds are available for $130, a $20 discount off of the original $150 price.

The biggest discount is available on the ‌Powerbeats Pro‌, Apple's wire-free earbuds with earhook to keep them in place. The Powerbeats Pro are available for $200, a $50 discount off of the regular $250 price.

Here in Germany you can get a pair for $45 (Beats Flex).

I think they are the only single thing Apple offers at an *honest* price point.
Especially in the Music section. With foam tips they are a perfect spare pair.

I got the ones is Yuzu Yellow and they are holding up great after a year of use.
