Why We Love This Deal
Monster is an audio brand best known for its insanely strong cables, but the label has expanded its offerings since partnering with Beats in 2008 to make its first pair of headphones. Since then, the brand has continued to make affordable audio products that can compete with big names like Sony, including this pair of earbuds, which are a whopping 82% off right now.
The Monster Achieve 100 AirLinks Earbuds normally go for $170 on Amazon, but this discount brings the price down to just $30. This deal is only live on the black colorway, but over 500 pairs have been sold in the last month alone.
