THIS TIME OF year, warmer temperatures mean we start feeling our extremities again. Tech companies know we’re starting to venture out in the beautiful weather more as summer approaches, and they’re hoping we’ll buy some new gear to take with us. Apple is one of them.
From now until May 14, Apple is discounting a number of Beats headphones and earbuds by up to 20 percent. Below are our WIRED reviews of every product and the savings you can expect on each. We recommend checking out the Beats Studio3 Wireless first, since they are the latest model, but all of them are current models. It’s possible Apple is clearing inventory on some of these for some newer models, but that shouldn’t affect your experience with the products all that much.

- Pre-Order – Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for $48 (Was $60): This is an outstanding sidescrolling Wii U game, now remastered for Nintendo Switch.
- New – Sea of Thieves (Xbox One) for $44 (Was $60): Sea of Thieves hit shelves in late March. It’s a flawed game in some ways, but it’s still incredibly fun to grab three friends and sail the high seas together, pirating and plundering.
