If £250 sounds a tad steep for a pair of headphones, then you may be pleased to hear that Amazon has just knocked up to 32% off the Beats Solo 3 wireless headphones. Now you can pick them up for as little as £170.

You should read our full review of the headphones for a detailed verdict, but in a nutshell: we loved the latest addition to the Beats audio canon. The Solo 3 might not look that different to their predecessor – but looks can be deceiving. Powered by Apple’s innovate W1 chip, these headphones deliver a fun sound signature – they’re ideal for R’n’B tracks that demand plenty of bass.

The Solo 3 also boasts a quick-charging 'Fast Fuel' feature, which means that just five minutes of charging gets you three hours of audio playback. Better still, if you've got a device that's been updated to iOS 10, then all you have to do is hold it next to the headphones, and an invitation to connect will automatically appear on your phone's screen. Rejoice: no more walking into lampposts as you fiddle with your phone's Bluetooth settings!

Amazon's discount varies depending on which colour you choose. The standard black model has dropped to £175, while the red model has dropped to just £170.

Amazon deals have a habit of yo-yoing in price – sometimes they go higher; sometimes they drop even lower. But if you're in the market for a pair of reliable headphones, we suggest you take the plunge.
